Rimini
Rimini lies along the Adriatic coast, where a long, level belt of sand meets the shallow waters of the Riviera Romagnola. Torre Pedrera forms part of the city’s northern seaside district, a resort area shaped by beach establishments, hotels and a seafront promenade. Rimini’s identity reaches well beyond its holiday shore: the Roman Arco d’Augusto, dedicated in 27 BC, is regarded as the oldest surviving Roman triumphal arch, while the Ponte di Tiberio has crossed the Marecchia since the 1st century AD. Federico Fellini was born in Rimini, and the city’s museum devoted to the filmmaker is centred on Castel Sismondo and the Fulgor cinema. This stretch of coast combines the practical rhythm of an Italian beach resort with a city whose Roman and cinematic heritage remains central to its character.

Rimini is best known within Italy for the Arch of Augustus, a Roman triumphal arch erected in 27 BC. Set on the Adriatic coast, the city developed from the Roman colony of Ariminum, where the Via Flaminia reached the sea. The nearby Marecchia River meets the Adriatic north of the centre, while the ancient Ponte di Tiberio still crosses its former course. Rimini is also the birthplace of film director Federico Fellini; the Fellini Museum explores his imaginative cinematic world. Its broad seafront and long-established bathing culture give the city a distinctly lively seasonal rhythm.

Emilia-Romagna occupies a broad stretch of the Po Valley and northern Apennines in Italy. From the agricultural plains around Modena and Bologna, the region extends northeast towards the Adriatic, where the wetlands of the Po Delta meet the sea. Wooded Apennine ridges give its southern districts a contrasting terrain. Bologna is home to one of the world’s oldest universities, founded in 1088, while Modena is closely linked with traditional balsamic vinegar. Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma are further markers of a food culture known well beyond Italy. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Emilia-Romagna.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
