Personalities Rimini Federico Fellini (Rimini 1920 - Rome 1993) He is one <strong>of</strong> the most appreciated film directors in the world. He was born in Rimini, and even if he lived far from his native town he never forgot it, as evidenced by one <strong>of</strong> his most famous films, Amarcord, that was written together with Tonino Guerra. The film celebrated the city <strong>of</strong> Rimini with its streets, the warm disposition <strong>of</strong> local inhabitants and the intensity <strong>of</strong> the local dialect. It pays tribute to many enchanting places <strong>of</strong> both the city centre and the coastline: The Arch <strong>of</strong> Augustus, the impressive Malatesta Fortress, Fulgor Cinema, Piazza Cavour, with the sculpture <strong>of</strong> the Pope Paul V and the famous Pigna Fountain, the Library and its gymnasium, the enchanting Grand Hotel, the harbour and the beach from which he admired the passage <strong>of</strong> the luxury ocean liner Rex. Fellini was buried in Rimini next to his wife Giulietta Masina. Tonino Guerra (Santarcangelo di <strong>Romagna</strong>, 1920 - Santarcangelo di <strong>Romagna</strong> 2012) The literary career <strong>of</strong> Tonino Guerra, that started with the composition <strong>of</strong> dialect poetry under the supervision <strong>of</strong> Carlo Bo and Gianfranco Contini, was characterized by prestigious recognitions. De Sica, Taviani brothers, Rosi, Tarkowskij, Antonioni and Federico Fellini are some <strong>of</strong> the most famous film directors for whom he wrote important scripts, and he also received a nomination for the Academy Awards. Guerra also dealt with painting, ceramics and architecture, what led him to realize precious masterpieces that can still be seen across the surrounding territory. Not to be missed are his parks, fountains, gardens, restaurants and hotels, the socalled “Places <strong>of</strong> the Soul”. 2. Federico Fellini on the set <strong>of</strong> Amarcord 3.

Piero della Francesca, Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta praying in front <strong>of</strong> St. Sigismund (detail), Malatesta Temple, Rimini Sigismondo Malatesta (Rimini 1417 - Rimini 1468) Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta became the Lord <strong>of</strong> Rimini and Fano in 1432 when he was only 15. He took part in important military campaigns for many years, and subsequently used his fame to turn his city into a great Seignory. He commissioned the building <strong>of</strong> the first Renaissance building in Rimini, the famous Malatesta Temple, that was designed by Leon Battista Alberti and frescoed by Piero della Francesca. It was a lay monument to Sigismondo himself, his wife Isotta degli Atti and the philosopher Giorgio Gemisto Pletone. His aggressive disposition, that had previously contributed to increase his glory, also played a fundamental role in his death. The Italian intricate political situation led to his decline when he was only forty. Because <strong>of</strong> the conflict with the Pope and the military occupation <strong>of</strong> territories under the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the Montefeltro, his situation got worse, and he was only able to retain the city that had always been the symbol <strong>of</strong> his power. He died at the age <strong>of</strong> 51 (after he had led an army when he was only 13), and spent his last years working to complete his Temple. Alfredo Panzini (Senigallia 1863 - Rome 1939) Alfredo Panzini was a very famous author, and wrote for important literary magazines and journals. His father came from Rimini, and Alfredo usually spent his summer holidays with his family in the so-called “Casa rossa” (Red House) in Bellaria Igea-Marina. It was a major gathering place for friends and literate people, and he used to spend long periods <strong>of</strong> time there while admiring the rural countryside and drawing inspiration for his work. Casa Rossa, that has recently been fully restored, is now open to the general public. Tourists will have the possibility to visit the rooms where the writer lived, admire his famous bicycle “la severissima Opel - de La Lanterna di Diogene e delle gite in campagna” and explore his cabinet, with its writing desk and drawers containing precious manuscripts. The house itself is now an interesting Museum, whose four walls are decorated with the remains <strong>of</strong> the splendid ceramic artworks that bear the titles <strong>of</strong> Panzini’s major works. 1.
