‘Rimini is like the blues, it has everything,’ says Luciano Ligabue.
Rimini, the seaside resort par excellence throughout the 20th century, is still one of the most popular destinations for Italian and international tourism today. It has a rich history and the city and surrounding area have played a strategic role since pre-Roman and Roman times.
