A visit to Rimini

We were a group of six: two Canadians (us) and four people from South Africa, visiting the ancient town of Rimini.  Ancient as in it was occupied by Romans in 268 BC, and there's evidence of Etruscans living there before that.  There's a good Encyclopedia Britannica article HERE if you're interested in more detail.

Our guide, Giovani, was born in the area and knows a lot of the history.  We went into several churches, and in one I saw something different: no little candles!

Put your coin in the slot, then flick the switch to turn on the electric light!

Giovani points to a Fellini mural

Italian film director Federico Fellini was born in Rimini, and scenes from his films are painted on the sides of buildings in one area of the city.  The Rimini tourism website has a list of places in the city with a connection to Fellini or his films, and has included the murals.

Then it was time for gelato... - delizioso!
