In the contribution I analyze the Archbishop's Chapel in Ravenna, built in the period of the domination of the Goths by the will of the Catholic Bishop Peter II (494-519/20). I take into account the architectural structure and decoration of the monument, as they appear after the restoration of the twentieth century. The mosaics of the chapel were probably a poster (of course accessible to few) of Christianity: insisting on the glorification of Christ in fact denied the Arian heresy, which it did not believe in the divine nature of Jesus, a heresy which the Goths adhered.
Nel contributo si analizza la Cappella oggi detta Arcivescovile a Ravenna, nata al tempo della dominazione gota della città per volere del vescovo cattolico Pietro II (494-519/20). Si prendono in considerazione l’aspetto architettonico e la decorazione del monumento, come ci appaiono dopo i restauri del XX secolo. I mosaici della Cappella costituivano probabilmente un manifesto (certo accessibile a pochi) della cristianità: insistendo sulla glorificazione di Cristo di fatto contestavano l’eresia ariana, che non credeva nella natura divina di Gesù, eresia a cui aderivano i Goti.

Abstract
In the contribution I analyze the Archbishop's Chapel in Ravenna, built in the period of the domination of the Goths by the will of the Catholic Bishop Peter II (494-519/20). I take into account the architectural structure and decoration of the monument, as they appear after the restoration of the twentieth century. The mosaics of the chapel were probably a poster (of course accessible to few) of Christianity: insisting on the glorification of Christ in fact denied the Arian heresy, which it did not believe in the divine nature of Jesus, a heresy which the Goths adhered.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
