Additional information

Parco Federico Fellini, the location chosen to the event, is an important urban area of Rimini that tells its story and expresses its timeless appeal.

The gardens in the public park were created in 1879, with an informal composition of flower beds and tall trees. It has been restyled in 1948 on a design by Peter Porcinai, an internationally renowned architect of landscaping and gardening, with the planting of evergreen oaks, Aleppo pines and tamarisk bushes.

Rimini is today a city which is rapidly changing, not only regarding architecture and landscape, but also from the cultural point of view. The city focuses on a sustainable development in order to offer a quality hospitality to tourists through an enhancement of the urban green areas.
