A Winter Sea

The sand dune comes alive with 30 benches connected by lights and installations

22 November 2025 - January 2026

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.
