The second stop is the first street food stop: you will eat a local delicacy, LA PIADINA.
Piadina is a traditional Italian flatbread that is popular in the Emilia-Romagna region. It is a staple food in many Italian households and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. The bread is made with flour, water, and salt, and is typically cooked on a hot griddle or stone.
The piadina can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, cured meats, vegetables, or spreads. One popular filling is stracchino cheese and prosciutto, a classic combination that is both savory and satisfying. -

The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia is a Late Antique Roman building in Ravenna, Italy, built between 425 and 450. It was added to the World Heritage List together with seven other structures in Ravenna in 1996. Despite its common name, the empress Galla Placidia (d. 450) was not buried in the building, a misconception dating from the thirteenth century; she died in Rome and was buried there,probably alongside Honorius in the Mausoleum of Honorius at Old Saint Peter's Basilica.
