Twenty-five years after his death, the city of Rimini celebrates Federico Fellini, one of the greatest Italian directors of all times, who in this seaside Emilia-Romagna town was born and always maintained a close relationship with it. Guided visits, film screenings, the restoration of the cinema Fulgor are some of the events planned for the summer.

The old Fulgor cinema was one of Fellini’s favorite places, where he saw his first movies, and where he fell in love with cinema. The Fulgor has reopened to the public after five years of renovation work. Redesigned in the style of 1930s Hollywood by architect Annio Matteini with the Hollywood designer Dante Ferretti, the Fulgor is no longer just a cinema, but also a tribute to his most famous patron, and a cultural center, which will be hosting conferences, concerts, Fellini film screenings, and Fellini-style aperitifs.
