Borgo San Giuliano "Fellini Nostalgia"

After crossing the old town center on Corso d'Augusto as far as the Ponte di Tiberio, take a look at the Marecchia river park to the north and at the port canal to the south, then enter the medieval district of San Giuliano. A series of narrow alleys form a labyrinth in which even the locals often get lost. But it doesn't matter if you do because on every street corner you can by Albino Di Lieto admire murals dedicated to the life and films of the great film director Federico Fellini. The murals were painted by local artists on the elegant small houses carefully looked after and decorated with flowers. Every two years the unmissable street festival "Festa de Borg" is held. If you wish to continue the Fellini theme, you can walk on to the town cemetery not too far away in Via Cipressi where Fellini and his wife Giulietta Masini are buried under the monument "La Grande Prua" in the form of a sail by the sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro.

Corso d'Augusto, Rimini Piazza Tre Martiri "The Old Roman Forum"

If you walk down the "Decumano Massimo" (nowadays Corso d'Augusto), you will come to what used to be the main Roman forum. It is the crossroads between the "Decumano" and the "Cardo Massimi". The old Piazza Giulio Cesare and Piazza delle Erbe have been renamed Piazza Tre Martiri. The new name commerates three young partisans who were by Cicciotto executed here (Mario Cappelli, Luigi Nicolò, Adelio Pagliarani). A copy of the statue of Julius Caesar was put in the piazza when it was given to the town in 1933. The piazza also contains a Renaissance memorial stone which is called the Ara Romana. This commemorates Caesar's address to his soldiers prior to the conquest of Rome. The Sant'Antono church dates back to 1578. It has an unmistakeable octagonal shape and is surrounded by columns and faced with marble. The church was built in honor of the "miracle of the mule" which the saint is said to have perfomed here. The piazza has recently been resurfaced. This confirmed suspicions that there was a city buried underground. The piazza also has a new and attractive appearance and is lit by early 20th Century style lighting.

Arch of Augustus "Ancient Roman Landmark"

The Arch of Augustus is a city-gate built in 27 BCE and is one of the oldest surviving Roman arches. The structure is unusually large compared to other Roman arches, which has lead some historians to believe the gate was not meant to be easily closed so it wasn't used for defense. This arch is featured on Rimini's coat of arms, making it an important city icon. by Following Hadrian +39 541 53399 Arco di Augusto, Rimini
