Cinema, music, theatre performances, but also readings, conferences, appointments dedicated to culture and art in many venues in the city of Rimini, from historic centre to the beach and the surrounding districts.
A rich proposal of events under the name 'E la chiamano Rimini' (And they call it Rimini) for an unusual season during which people can enjoy live shows thanks to an outdoor arena circuit that will host round 100 events.
Two are the main arenas that will host the summer events program: the Corte degli Agostiniani, historically a symbol of summer entertainment in the city, andthe Arena Lido, a new arena under the stars close to the seashore at the Marina di Rimini, one of the most suggestive spots in Rimini. Next to these two outdoor places, other symbolic places of the city will host several events such as the Lapidarium in the City Museum, the courtyard of the Gambalunga Library, the square on the water at the bridge of Tiberius, the Colonia Bolognese (one of the seaside hostels erected in this area in the early 1900s), the Podere dell'Angelo in the countryside and the ex Enel warehouses in via Destra del Porto.
Here a varied choise of events that will be offered to the public:
