Since 1950, the Malatestiana Music Festival has brought the most prestigious directors, soloists and orchestras in the international musical scenario, representing a prestigious cultural event, among the longest-running in Italy.
In its 75th edition, it offers an expanded programme both in terms of the number of participants and the calendar, confirming that the Sagra is not just a top event in the city's cultural proposals, but a festival that can accompany the public through the seasons. 
There are special projects for the Biennale del Disegno, a tribute to Giacomo Manzoni, organ concerts, early music, avant-garde performances of music and words, and of course 'Percuotere la mente'. It reaches its climax in September with the Symphonic Concerts and ends with chamber music. 
PROGRAMME

The World Skate Games Italy 2024 will be held from the 6th to to the 22nd September, with an estimated participation of over 12,000 people including athletes, coaches, and delegations from 100 countries worldwide and an expected presence in Italy of tens of thousands of fans from the four corners of the globe. 
The figure skating world championships are held in Rimini at the exhibition centre.
The universal language of skating wheels will gather athletes from 12 different sports within a single event. The spotlights will be on the urban disciplines born in the streets of the world, such as skateboarding, roller freestyle, and scootering; the adrenaline-pumping and high-speed sports like speed skating, skate-cross, downhill, and slalom; the exciting team sports like rink hockey, inline hockey, and roller derby; and the harmony, elegance and exquisite technique of artistic skating.

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 traditional summer evening market returns again this year. In the historic center of Rimini with its curious stalls of art objects, antiques, second-hand items, modern antiques, vintage, artistic crafts, curiosities of the past, collecting.
There will also be a space 'Art Fridays'. The initiative is carried out by the Consortium of Trade Operators in Public Areas.

An exhibition on the foreshore to pay homage to the character of Mafalda, on the occasion of the 40th edition of Cartoon Club. 
A selection of over 200 strips and illustrations placed on 100 boards will fill the Rimini summer with humour and lightness, also a rare opportunity to combine entertainment, culture and reflection.  The exhibition particularly highlights Mafalda's battles for gender equality, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of the fight for women's rights. 
The exhibition is joined by other events such as a large installation at Castel Sismondo and evening screenings of Mafalda's short films. The event is officially included in the International Celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the character's birth and has obtained the patronage of the Argentine Embassy in Italy.

An original trip by boat under the old Bridge's archades. For 2000 years, residents and travellers have been crossing Tiberius Bridge in the city of Rimini. It’s not only a link between the two sides of the Marecchia river but a connection between different people, a symbol of confrontation (not always peaceful) between civilizations.
Tiberius Bridge is one of the few bridges which can claim this venerable age. This fact, in addition to its solidity and resistance, has always been an attractive surprise and has created the legend of the "devil’s bridge".
It was built with advanced techniques and is also full of decorative symbols. It’s mentioned in many history books and Andrea Palladio drew inspiration  from its perfect proportions for the costruction of the Rialto Bridge in Venice.
In 1885 it was declared national monument.
With this initiatve visitors don’t see the Bridge "from above", as they normally do, but are able to pass under its archades by boat discovering it from a different perspective, gliding on water level.
In this way many details and peculiarities of the bridge, that normally remain hidden, can be admired. One of its arches was demolished at the beginning of the first Middle Ages and was mined by the Germans during the retreat at the end of World War II. Who knows in how many other occasions it has run the risk to perish. But it is still there as a witness of the past glory, and perhaps, in the future, when streets are no longer necessary, it will reminds us what we were.
The tours last 15 minutes.

This is the music festival, a thematic section of the Sagra Musicale Malatestiana, for new sounds, that this year will not only accompany the summer as per tradition, but will offer concerts and special events from July until late November, at Corte degli Agostiniani and Teatro Galli. 
Ludovico Einaudi's music opens the festival.
The first stage runs through five appointments that illuminate a musical universe with a neo-classical minimalist imprint: Ludovico Einaudi (7 July), a tribute to Ryuichi Sakamoto (8 July), Hania Rani (9 July) and the OHT company, led by director Filippo Andreatta with two works from musical theatre (30 and 31 October). The second follows paths contaminated by multiple influences, resonating with the echoes of the first path, with both cultured and popular crossings, acoustic, electronic and vocal experimentation, lyricism and extreme sounds: Eklectric Duo (23 July), John De Leo and the Grande Abarasse Orchestra (3 September), Fabrizio Bosso with Andrea Lucchi, Julian Oliver Mazzariello and Rimini Classica (27 September), ending with the duo Teho Teardo and Blixa Bargeld (22 November). 

Set up in the Residence next to the Grand Hotel, with a pathway through photographs, texts, playbills, family heirlooms, newspaper articles, audiovisual and unpublished contributions, the exhibition is a tribute to the thought of a great artist who was unique and against the Italian customs of the time: Ugo tognazzi.
The exhibition is divided into thematic areas, from his theatrical beginnings to his experience as a director, passing through his 150 films as an actor, without forgetting his greatest passions: football and cooking.
The leitmotif of the exhibition is the ‘Tognazzi thought’: the poetics of an author who found nourishment in human relationships, satire, the pleasures of life, and the denunciation of fierce social, economic and sexual models that made him a courageous and counter-current artist.

The Palazzo del Fulgor - Fellini Museum - is hosting an extraordinary exhibition dedicated to the Santarcangelo painter Pino Boschetti (1944 - 2022), who, through his images, told the stories and people of his native Romagna with imaginative irony. The monographic exhibition consists of 92 oil paintings and 30 preparatory drawings, in which he immortalised moments of life and landscapes that are an integral part of the emotional and identity heritage of Romagna. Boschetti, a self-taught artist and keen observer of his country's daily life, takes us on a visual journey that recounts the reality of Romagna with irony and gentleness, bringing out a poetic style made up of everyday details and dreamlike visions.
The exhibition is part of a larger cultural project, ‘Lingue di confine’, dedicated to art in dialect, which explores the profound connections between the mother tongue and artistic expressions through poetry, theatre and painting.
Opening on Saturday 3 August at 6 p.m.
