Ravenna
Ravenna ( , , also ; rgn, Ravèna) is the capital city of the Province of Ravenna, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. It was the capital city of the Western Roman Empire from 408 until its collapse in 476. It then served as the capital of the Ostrogothic Kingdom until it was re-conquered in 540 by the Byzantine Empire. Afterwards, the city formed the centre of the Byzantine Exarchate of Ravenna until the last exarch was executed by the Lombards in 751. Although it is an inland city, Ravenna is connected to the Adriatic Sea by the Candiano Canal.

Urania (magazine)
''Urania'' is an Italian science fiction magazine published by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore since 10 October 1952. The current editor is Giuseppe Lippi. History The first issue featured the novel ''The Sands of Mars'' by Arthur C. Clarke (as ''Le sabbie di Marte''). The original name of the series was ''I Romanzi di Urania'' ("Urania's novels"), to differentiate it from another magazine with the same name (but popularly known as ''Urania Rivista'', "Urania Magazine"), which featured only short stories. The latter, however, lasted only 14 issues, and ''Romanzi di Urania'' soon took the simpler name, which still holds today. Short story collections were thenceforth published in the main series, which at its height had a weekly periodicity with a circulation of 160,000 copies a month. Since the very beginning Urania has been indeed the best selling Science fiction, SF magazine of Italy, also introducing to Italian readers some famed authors like Isaac Asimov, Alfred Elton van Vogt, ...
