Description

Description

August 2006. The project stems from aThe famous Hamburg-based GMP firm designed the ambitious project launched in 2001 to build the Rimini exhibition centre. The extension was completed in deep survey on the different architectural designs existing in Emilia Romagna, and combines classical and Renaissance traditions with local requirements. A perfect combination where classical elements (colonnades, peristyles and pools) meet with innovations in technology and construction and the avant-garde experimentation of materials. If linearity and symmetry are the guidelines adopted by GMP, the firm has not hesitated to dare bold touches, with settings designed to connote and liven up the spaces. In particular, the four towers, located in the main access avenue and leading into Piazza degli Eventi or Tetrapilo (named after the four towers), are visible from a distance and have become the symbol of the new exhibition centre. Its exhibition area spreads over 109,000 m2 and includes 16 single-bay dimmable and cabled pavilions, with no internal columns to maximize the exhibition space. All the facilities have been placed on the ground floor to smoothen the flow of visitors and exhibitors and the handling of goods along a ring road running inside the grounds. The pavilions are interconnected by internal porticos whose sides converge into an 18 m agorà used either for display purposes or, when filled with water, to form fascinating pools. Flexibility is the underlying feature of the whole project. The pavilions are designed on a modular system, with each single module conceived to satisfy the needs of the widest range of events. For these very features, the facility is equipped to host events differing either for product variety or for size, with the possibility to host several events simultaneously. The offer has been improved by the conference halls, capable of accommodating 730 people, press rooms, business centres, free flows and refreshment spots. Conference activities are held on the first floor of the main hall, accessed through the main southern entrance, and in the flexible halls near the East and West entrances. A 10,600 car park area is located next to the three entrances linked by shuttle bus, helipad, bus terminal and the internal railway station with a dedicated terminal along the Milan-Bari line. Plans are to build the Fair terminal of the metropolitan surface line, designed to link Riccione and Rimini.

Places to go

Places to go

Modern and vibrant, home to Fellini’s Vitelloni and Amarcord,thronging with hotels, cafés and restaurants, and rows of umbrellas dotting the Riviera as far as the eye can see, Rimini conceals the secrets of a rich, artistic centre.

Malatesta Temple Designed on Renaissance guidelines, the temple features a combination of works by Leon Battista Alberti, who designed the marble and stone façade covering the old Gothic church, by Piero della Francesca (Sigismondo kneeling before San Sigismondo) and Agostino di Duccio, who designed the remarkable bas-relief decorations. The wooden crucifix painted by Giotto is simply sublime.

Augustus Arch Original gateway to the city, built in 27 AD to celebrate Augustus, and the oldest still standing.

City museum Over 400 works on show: black and white mosaics in the archaeological hall, works commissioned by Malatesta and made by Giovanni Bellini and Domenico Ghirlandaio, paintings by Guercino, Flemish tapestries, a collection of ceramics.
