The new season at Rimini’s Teatro Galli promises a vibrant mix of theater and dance, with a program that gives a strong voice to female artists, offers intelligent and witty social commentary, and uses the stage as a space for deep reflection. The lineup is rich with diverse performances, bringing some of the most important and recent Italian productions to Rimini. The shows feature prominent directors like Antonio Latella and Martin McDonagh, and star celebrated Italian actors, including Ambra Angiolini, Daniele Pecci, and Vinicio Marchioni. The season also welcomes major companies like Teatro dell’Elfo and the Balletto di Roma.
The main program, divided into the A-B-C series, is composed of seven shows that alternate between different moods and time periods, offering audiences a journey through laughter, bittersweet smiles, and profound insights. Meanwhile, the "Other Paths" program, or the D series, provides a focused look at contemporary society. This section of the season is unified by themes such as female narratives, tyranny, censorship, and the rhetoric of modern life, offering a powerful perspective on today's world.
Beyond the main subscription, the theater offers an exciting list of special performances. A major highlight is the return of the smash hit musical "Saturday Night Fever" on February 18th and 19th, produced by the Compagnia della Rancia. Comedy fans can look forward to a new monologue by the popular Italian comedian Paolo Cevoli on October 28th and 29th, and lovers of classic operetta will enjoy the Compagnia Corrado Abbati's production of "Cin Cin Là" on December 8th.
The dance season also presents two highly anticipated events featuring renowned Italian companies. The Balletto di Roma will restage their work "La dernière danse?" on November 28th. Following this, on January 31st, the Compagnia Artemis Danza/Monica Casadei will perform their piece titled "Puccini’s Opera - Voci di donne", an evocative production inspired by the famous composer's female characters. Beyond this, there are four special events designed to support and showcase young local dancers, further strengthening the connection between the arts and the community.
"Theater No Limits": This special project is designed to make theater accessible for people with visual disabilities.

Sigep is the most important professional event in the world dedicated to Artisan Ice Cream and the Art of Dessert.
For over 40 years, it has been the reference point for innovations in the entire sector and provides a complete overview of all the novelties on the market: raw materials and ingredients, machinery and equipment, but also furnishings, packaging and services.
5 are the interconnected business communities: Ice Cream, Pastry&Choco, Coffee, Backery & Pizza.
Covering all aspects, from Products, Ingredients and Services to Equipment, Furnishings, Packaging Solutions and Technologies, the event offers a unique space in which to interact with companies and industry experts, discuss developments in the sector and create opportunities for business, networking and professional development. It is a stage where exhibitors showcase the future of their sector, providing visitors with the most exclusive insights into tomorrow’s shifting trends and unexplored tastes.

An exhibition that transforms the dune of the Rimini beach into a temporary observatory of the present, a place where languages intertwine like waves - photography, illustration, urban art, and visual writing - giving the public a constantly changing landscape, suspended between art and nature, between sky, land and sea. Each piece of work - image and text, totalling twenty display panels -is an ephemeral trace that questions the threshold between what emerges and what disappears, between memory and future, between the individual and the collective. A means to observe our time from its shifting frontiers, where the land ends and thought begins.

Rimini beach is magic with ‘Un Mare d'Inverno’ (A Winter Sea), an initiative that transforms the coastline into a poetic landscape, where art, nature and light come together to showcase the beauty of the sea even in the quietest season. 
The raised dune, erected to protect the coast during the winter season, comes alive with 30 benches and art installations, which become the heart of a widespread exhibition route. The art installations, part of the Mind Marea project, are placed along the dune and in the most evocative spots along the coastline, inviting visitors and citizens to stop, observe, listen and be inspired by the dialogue between art and the sea. Each bench offers a different perspective on the theme of the horizon, memory and movement, transforming the beach into an open-air museum. 
From 22 November, a string of lights accompanies visitors along the dune, creating a luminous corridor that blends into the horizon. A picturesque route, to be enjoyed by day and by night, not only during the Christmas time, combining works of art and lights with the poetry of the sea into a single experience. 
'Un Mare d'Inverno', curated by Piacere Spiaggia Rimini, is an invitation to experience the sea in every season: for a walk among art and nature, a moment of contemplation on the benches overlooking the sea or an opportunity for meeting and shared inspiration. Rimini once again presents itself as a city capable of combining creativity, culture and landscape, where the light of Christmas meets the depth of the sea and the sensitivity of those who live there.

The appointments at the Cinemino are are back, a small hall (25 seats) set up inside the Fulgor Palace, as part of the Fellini Museum.
Every day it is shown on loop the documentary La verità della menzogna (The Truth of Lies), curated by Gianni Canova and Chiara Lenzi (Italy 2021, 72′), produced by Lumière&.Co and Anteo exclusively for FM - Fellini Museum Rimini. 
Tuesdays at 2 p.m. are devoted to Fellini's masterpieces, selected titles within the Maestro's celebrated filmography, and documentaries dedicated to him. See the programme on the reference site

'Rimini' is a new project by the Reggio Emilia-born photographer Paolo Simonazzi. It forms part of the programme of events organised by the Municipality of Rimini to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the publication of the eponymous novel by the Correggio writer, Pier Vittorio Tondelli.
The work is built upon a foundation of literary, cinematic, musical, and – above all – autobiographical influences. Within these themes, the artist navigates a delicate balance between lightness and depth.
The photographs in Simonazzi’s latest project speak of the world, but also of a conceptualisation of it. Rimini is portrayed as a Frontier, a Sublime Door, a Mirage, a Promise, an Utopia. It is a kaleidoscope of eras and fashions where one finds oneself in two places simultaneously: the physical and the imaginary; caught between wonder and illusion, between the 'here' and the 'elsewhere'. Simonazzi documents the locations that draw him in, while simultaneously capturing within them novel perspectives, ironic moments, remnants of memory, and (auto)biographical signs.
These images speak of the world, but also of an idea of it—as if a subtle, personal layer, composed of lived experience, knowledge, and passion, has settled upon the very surface of the photograph.

Italian cinema told from a special, ‘close-up’ perspective. Entitled “Dentro il set” (Inside the Set), this is the first photographic exhibition born from a collaboration between the Municipalities of Rimini and Cesena.
The exhibition is linked to “CliCiak – Scatti di Cinema”, the national competition for Italian set photographers promoted annually by the Cesena Administration, in partnership with the Malatestiana Library and the Centro Cinema Città di Cesena.
On display until Sunday 25 January are approximately 40 photographs from the latest edition of the competition, including the images that were prize-winners or specially commended by the jury.
These shots depict contemporary Italian cinema from a privileged vantage point: that of set photography, which is uniquely capable of conveying the reality of the work and the atmosphere of filming — actors in rehearsal, directors at work, crews in action, and the moments of waiting and intense concentration before a scene. This is more than just “behind the scenes”; set photography is an autonomous language that captures the construction of the cinematic image, creating a dialogue between reality and fiction.
Spanning black-and-white and colour, portraiture and action, the selection offers a rich and contemporary overview of Italian film and television series. The exhibition launches a wider project by the Municipality of Cesena to celebrate and promote “CliCiak”, which for years has collected and preserved a vast heritage of Italian cinematic set photography.

VisitRimini, in partnership with Summertrade, is delighted to bring back one of the most requested experiences: gourmet breakfast at the stunning Caffè del Grifone, where you can enjoy your morning meal overlooking the evocative Piazza Cavour, the medieval heart of Rimini.

Don't miss this opportunity to experience the historic Teatro Galli in a unique way: blending good food, history, and beauty.

‘The Wonders of Rimini’ is a real journey through centuries of history.
The Arch of Augustus and the Bridge of Tiberius tell of Ariminum, an important Latin colony and crossroads of the greatest Roman roads such as the Via Flaminia, the Via Emilia and the Via Aretina.
The first monument of the Italian Renaissance, the Malatesta Temple (exterior) is the protagonist of one of the most important historical periods in the city and together with Castel Sismondo (exterior) tells of the great leader Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta.
The tour continues through the streets of the old town to Piazza Cavour with the Fontana della Pigna, once adulated by Leonardo da Vinci, the Vecchia Pescheria and the ‘A. Galli’ Theatre. 
The journey continues into the 20th century with Federico Fellini and the Fulgor Cinema.

The old town hosts an exhibition-market of antique, modern and vintage items where you can find a wide selection of ceramics, glassware, books, furniture, jewelry, silverware and various objects, all carefully dated or antique.

The Festival of the East arrives in Rimini with dances, shows, traditional ceremonies, exhibitions, courses and much more, inside the Rimini exhibition center thanks to two special weekends dedicated to the charm and beauty of the Eastern world.
The shows are repeated every day for the entire duration of the Festival from 10 am to 8.30 pm with wonderful colours, music, scents of distant lands, where tradition and modernity come together in a splendid union.
The East and its immense artistic heritage is represented by numerous typical dances, traditional songs and folklore performances.
The Festival dell'Oriente represents a unique and unmissable opportunity for all enthusiasts to get in touch with the soul of the oriental world and let yourself be overwhelmed by its energy, its beauty and its indisputable charm.

With this new creation by Monica Casadei, the Artemis Danza Company dedicates its artistic project to four fascinating heroines of composer Giacomo Puccini, on the centenary of his death: Tosca, Madama Butterfly, Mimì and Turandot.
In Puccini's Opera. Voci di donne (Voices of Women), we find Monica Casadei's personal interpretation of the theme of femininity at the centre of a process of choreographic, visual and musical reinterpretation. The protagonists are women who are as diverse as they are linked by a common thread of contemporary and timeless stories. Tragic love, thwarted and opposed love, cruel love that destroys, the desire for possession that leads to destruction: all this lives in the faces, bodies and gestures of the dancers and never ceases to make us reflect on the relevance of stories that have moved audiences around the world.
The result of Artemis Danza's research is a choral dance rich in impulses and passions, instinctive and at times wild, which makes whirlwind use of space and appears visually full: the solos are surrounded and protected by frames of ensembles, in a dynamic accelerated by propulsive forces that bring the drama and passions of the protagonists to life in the body and in the gut. 
Puccini's orchestral score is accompanied by electronic tracks by Fabio Fiandrini for Bohème and Turandot and Luca Vianini for Butterfly and Tosca, creating an enveloping and at times apocalyptic soundscape.  

Macbeth, The Consul, Madama Butterfly, Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali, and La traviata are the featured titles of the 2026 Opera Season at Rimini’s Teatro Galli. The programme journeys through the great operatic repertoire of the 19th and 20th centuries, alternating Italian traditional masterpieces with a significant foray into the musical theatre of the last century.
The season opens on Friday 6 February 2026 (8:00 pm) – with a second performance on Sunday 8 February (3:30 pm) – with Giuseppe Verdi’s Macbeth, one of the composer’s darkest and most powerful works, inspired by the Shakespearean tragedy.
The programme continues on Tuesday 24 March (8:00 pm) with a new production by the Maderna-Lettimi Conservatory of Cesena-Rimini: Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Consul, a 20th-century musical theatre masterpiece and a work of profound social significance.
On Thursday 30 April (8:00 pm), Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, one of the most beloved operas in the global repertoire, will take the stage.
The collaboration between Teatro Galli and the Maderna-Lettimi Conservatory continues with a new production of Gaetano Donizetti’s Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali on Friday 16 October (8:00 pm). This brilliant comic opera uses irony and sarcasm to reveal the "behind-the-scenes" world of opera.
The 2026 Opera Season concludes with Giuseppe Verdi’s La traviata, performed on Friday 23 October (8:00 pm) and Sunday 25 October (3:30 pm).

Saturday Night Fever, the musical, produced by Compagnia della Rancia under licence from Broadway Licensing, is directed by Mauro Simone and inspired by the 1977 Paramount/RSO film and Nik Cohn's story exploring new trends in nightlife and the disco scene, adapted for the stage by Robert Stigwood in collaboration with Bill Oakes (North American version written by Sean Cercone and David Abbinanti), with the engaging soundtrack by the Bee Gees and arrangements and orchestrations by David Abbinanti.
Directed by Mauro Simone, who takes his cue from the film's immersive shots and the unforgettable sequence with a very young John Travolta, the theatre production brings freshness and relevance to the story of Italian-American Tony Manero, who marked a generation.
On stage, 21 performers bring to life the legendary hits of the Bee Gees, from Stayin' Alive and Night Fever to You Should Be Dancing and How Deep Is Your Love, global disco music successes but, at the same time, symbols of 1970s culture, hymns of freedom, courage and the fight against marginalisation.
