It's simple:
RIMINI IN THE ROMAN ERA
Ariminum (the city’s ancient name) was founded in 268 B.C. and soon became a strategically important hub of the Roman Empire.
The Roman remains of the city can still be seen today and, tucked away in the streets of the historic centre, crop up again and again with magnificent vestiges waiting to be discovered, starting with the Bridge of Tiberius and the Arch of Augustus.
14th CENTURY RIMINI
In the Middle Ages, specifically in the 14th century, Rimini experienced an unprecedented artistic season when Giuliano, Giovanni and Pietro da Rimini received Giotto’s innovative teachings and translated them into a major Rimini art style that can still be seen in the masterpieces preserved in the city’s churches and museums.
RIMINI IN THE RENAISSANCE
Without a doubt, the Renaissance was another high point of Riminese art: the city boasts some of the world’s greatest architectural and artistic masterpieces such as the Tempio Malatestiano, the cathedral church of Rimini, and the Castel Sismondo castle. Artists of the likes of Piero della Francesca, Matteo de’ Pasti, Agostino di Duccio, Leon Battista Alberti and Brunelleschi worked in Rimini under the patronage of Sigismondo Malatesta, endowing the city with extremely valuable works of art.
FROM STREET ART TO THE PRESENT DAY
Through the centuries, the city of Rimini has consistently produced outstanding artistic and cultural heritage. And it continues to do so today, since it has been the cradle of world-famous crews and street artists such as Eron, or by investing in and hosting outstanding and innovative museum collections such as those of the PART Museum, the Fellini Museum, or cultural and artistic treasure troves such as the renovated Galli opera house.
