Not just the sea at Villa Perazzini!
Here’s a little taste of the beautiful walk through old Rimini – you’ll be pleasantly surprised 😁
Borgo San Giuliano
What makes this charming little district so special is, first of all, the maze of narrow streets lined with low, colorful buildings, with contrasting wooden shutters and balconies overflowing with plants.
Walking along these lanes, visitors are immersed in a surreal medieval atmosphere, where the scent of the sea blends with the aroma of freshly cooked fish from the taverns along the way.
In the past, living in the Borgo meant poverty; its inhabitants belonged to the working class of fishermen, laborers, and artisans, all sharing a single passion: fishing.
Along the streets, you could often smell freshly caught fish being prepared for sale.
It’s not uncommon to see locals sitting outside their homes chatting with neighbors, helping to create the magical atmosphere typical of the Borgo.
Borgo San Giuliano and Federico Fellini
This neighborhood was especially loved by the director Federico Fellini, who often strolled through its streets admiring the colorful façades, probably captivated by the unique atmosphere.
As a tribute to the famous native, some murals inspired by characters from his films still adorn the façades of a few houses.
Visitors feel as if they are living scenes from Amarcord, the film that most represents Fellini’s love for his hometown.
As a gesture of gratitude for his art, the locals dedicated the 1994 “Festa de Borg” celebrations to him, which he attended with his wife Giulietta Masina. Since 1979, every two years in September, the traditional “Festa de Borg” takes place.
Tiberio Bridge and the Water Square
With the opening of the new ‘water square’ in the Tiberio Bridge basin… to be continued…
And don’t forget: Borgo San Giuliano is also famous for its fantastic traditional taverns!
