This was an amazing idea! There are so many historical pictures out there, but when you superimpose them with what the same spot looks likes today, it really brings home the reality of it.
This is a beatifull way of showing history. It didn't just happen in Ravenna, it happened right there in Ravenna. Makes history close and present. Lovely done :)
