Rimini

Rimini is a roman town that still retains some of the small jewels of the architecture of the time: the Bridge of Tiberius and the Arch of Augustus, connected by the main avenue of the historical centre, the Corso d'augusto. Starting from the Arch of Augustus, and continuing along the viale (full of shops and bars) you will reach before the Tre Martiri square, the symbol of the Resistance in the city, and later to the Piazza Cavour, the center of night entertainment. It is in piazza Cavour, between the Pigna Fountain and the Old fish market with its white marble of the eighteenth century, that all the shares meet the evening, and then move to a pub.
