Excursions and Guided tours
A tour to discover the love story between Isotta degli Atti and Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, leader and Lord of Rimini from 1417 to 1468.
The guide accompanies the participants outside Castel Sismondo, the fortress-residence of Sigismondo, who dedicated an entire wing to his Isotta, and physical testimony of the power of the Lord of Romagna par excellence, together with the Palazzo dell'Arengo in Piazza Cavour.
The visit continues to the Malatesta Temple, born from the ingenuity of the best artists and intellectuals of the time: Leon Battista Alberti, Piero della Francesca, Agostino di Duccio, Matteo dè Pasti and Roberto Valturio, and place of their eternal rest and undying love.
The story of their love will be told through the deeds of this leader and patron of the arts, cultured intellectual and man of arms and passions, who despite his reputation as an unscrupulous man, knew how to love his Isotta in an extraordinary way, making her immortal in the works he erected and in literature. In fact, the figure of Isotta also inspired the poet Ezra Pound in his Malatesta songs.
