==== City Museum ====
The City Museum ({{Lang|it|Museo della Città}}), is Rimini's main and oldest museum. It was inaugurated in 1872 as the Archaeology Gallery, at the ground floor of Palazzo Gambalunga, thanks to Riminese historian Luigi Tonini, who researched and studied the city's archaeological heritage.<ref>Anna Graziosi Ripa, ''Per la storia del Museo Archeologico riminese'', in: ''Analisi di Rimini Antica'', Rimini, Comune di Rimini, 1980, p. 317.</ref> The Archaeology Gallery was conceived as a collection of [[Etruscan civilization]] and [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] antiquities, found in Rimini and in the surrounding countryside. In 1923, it moved to the monastery of San Francesco, and was expanded with a section of medieval art in 1938. Its collections avoided the destruction of the Second World War after they were moved to shelters in Spadarolo and [[Novafeltria]].<ref>Anna Graziosi Ripa, ''Per la storia del Museo Archeologico riminese'', in: ''Analisi di Rimini Antica'', Rimini, Comune di Rimini, 1980, p. 158.</ref> In 1964, the collections moved to Palazzo Visconti and finally, from 1990, to the {{Lang|it|Collegio dei Gesuiti}}, a large [[Jesuits|Jesuit]] convent designed by Bolognese architect [[Alfonso Torreggiani]], built in 1749.

In the Archaeological department are exhibited grave goods from [[Villanovian civilization|Villanovian]] tombs of [[Verucchio]] and Covignano, architectural pieces, sculptures, mosaics, ceramics, coins of [[Roman Republic|Republican]] and [[Roman Empire|Imperial]] eras, and the exceptional medical kit from the Domus del Chirurgo. The collection of the Roman Lapidary, exhibited in the inner courtyard of the convent, has funerary monuments, epigraphies and [[milestone]]s.[[File:Scuola riminese, giudizio universale, da san giovanni evangelista (oggi sant'agostino) a rimini, 1310 ca. 01.JPG|thumb|left| City Museum, Last Judgement Room]][[File:Museo della città di Rimini, cortile 02.jpg|thumb|The Roman Lapidary, exhibited in the inner courtyard of the City Museum]]The Medieval and Modern Art departments include collections of [[painting]]s, [[sculpture]]s and [[Work of art|art objects]] by artists from [[Romagna]] ([[Giovanni da Rimini]], [[Giuliano da Rimini]], [[Guido Cagnacci]]), [[Emilia (region of Italy)|Emilia]] ([[Guercino]], [[Vittorio Maria Bigari]]), [[Tuscany]] ([[Domenico Ghirlandaio]], [[Agostino di Duccio]]) and [[Veneto]] ([[Giovanni Bellini]]), from 14th to 19th century. The City Museum arranges temporary [[exhibition]]s and promotes researches, study and restoration activities of the city's historical and artistic heritage.

[[File:Teatro Novelli Rimini.jpg|thumb|Teatro Novelli's Hall]]

Rimini appeared on the movie screen for the first time in some early footages, such as the documentary "Rimini l'Ostenda d'Italia" (1912), and in various Istituto Luce's newsreels in the Thirties. The film director [[Federico Fellini]], was born and raised in Rimini, portrayed characters, places and atmospheres of his hometown through his movies, which however were almost entirely shot in [[Cinecittà]]'s studios in [[Rome]]: [[I Vitelloni]], [[8 e ½]] (Oscar award in 1964), [[I clowns]], [[Amarcord]] (Oscar award in 1975). Other Italian movies filmed in Rimini includes "La prima notte di quiete" by [[Valerio Zurlini]], "[[Rimini Rimini]]" by [[Sergio Corbucci]], "[[Abbronzatissimi]]" by [[Bruno Gaburro]], "Sole negli occhi" by Andrea Porporati, "Da zero a dieci" by [[Luciano Ligabue]] and "Non pensarci" by [[Gianni Zanasi]].

=== Music ===
The earliest musician from Rimini was Saint Arduino (10th century);<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ilponte.com/stampa.php?sid=452474|title=''Rimini, una vivacità musicale antica''|language=it|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150212191505/http://www.ilponte.com/stampa.php?sid=452474|archive-date=12 February 2015}}</ref> a musical tradition of some distinction was witnessed in the following century by the presence of a music school, named "Scuola cantorum", at the Cathedral of Santa Colomba. French composer [[Guillaume Dufay]] stayed in Rimini, at Malatesta's court until 1427. In 1518 [[Pietro Aaron]] became the first choirmaster of the Cathedral's chapel. In 1690 [[Carlo Tessarini]], violinist and composer, was born in Rimini.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comune.rimini.it/servizi/citta/storia_di_rimini/-riminesi_illustri/pagina27.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060513230051/http://www.comune.rimini.it/servizi/citta/storia_di_rimini/-riminesi_illustri/pagina27.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=13 May 2006|title=''Carlo Tessarini (c. 1690-c.1767)''|language=it}}</ref> The city also gave birth to the musician Benedetto Neri, professor at the Academy of Music in [[Milan]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2024}} On 16 August 1857, Rimini's [[Amintore Galli Theatre|New Municipal Theatre]] hosted the world premiere of [[Giuseppe Verdi]]'s ''[[Aroldo]].<ref name="Rimini-2024a" /><ref name="riminiturismo-2023" />''

Between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many social events and dance parties took place at the Bathing Establishment, hosting celebrities such as soprano [[Elena Bianchini-Cappelli]] and tenor [[Enrico Caruso]].

In recent years, the city inspired the homonymous music album by [[Fabrizio De André]], released in 1978, and it is cited in various popular Italian and foreign songs by [[Fabrizio De André]], [[Francesco Guccini]], [[Nino Rota]], [[Elvis Costello]], [[Fred Buscaglione]]. Also born in Rimini were the songwriter [[Samuele Bersani]] and the composer and music producer [[Carlo Alberto Rossi]], author of some of [[Mina (Italian singer)|Mina]]'s songs.

=== Cuisine ===
[[File:Tagliatelle al ragù (image modified).jpg|thumb|Tagliatelle with bolognese sauce]]
[[File:Piadina.jpg|thumb|The Piadina Romagnola]]
Rimini's cuisine is simple and characterized by intense flavours and it is indissolubly related to the traditions of rural culture, influenced by the city's location—between the sea and the hills and near the border between [[Romagna]] and [[Marche]].

The traditional first course is [[pasta]], which includes regular pasta, pasta in broth and baked pasta, prepared in many different shapes. Almost all pasta dishes require a base of "sfoglia", a dough of eggs and flour, handmade with a rolling pin. First courses include [[Cappelletti (pasta)|cappelletti]], [[passatelli]] in broth, [[lasagne]], [[cannelloni]], nidi di rondine, [[ravioli]], [[tagliatelle]], [[garganelli]], [[maltagliati]], [[gnocchi]] and [[strozzapreti]],<ref>{{cite web |url = http://en.riviera.rimini.it/situr/flavours
| title=Riviera di Rimini. Flavours }}</ref> seasoned with [[bolognese sauce]] or a [[sauce|dressing]] of [[butter]] and [[Salvia officinalis|sage]].

Second courses include meat dishes, such as [[pollo alla cacciatora]], rabbit in [[porchetta]], meat-filled [[zucchini]], [[sausages]] and mixed grilled meats, and fish dishes, like [[barbecue]]s of [[atlantic mackerel]]s, [[sardine]]s, [[rotisserie]]s of [[oily fish]]es, [[sepia (genus)|sepia]]s with peas, fried [[squid]]s and [[gianchetti]] (known here as "omini nudi").<ref>{{cite web |url = http://en.riviera.rimini.it/situr/flavours
