Beaches, culture, fun. All of this comes together to create a stunning postcard of Romagna, that wonderful region where summer is a way of life. Where lifeguards reign supreme on the beaches and where echoes of the ’80s transport us back to a unique aesthetic made up of landscapes and dreams. With its 90 km of coastline, featuring sophisticated beach clubs and deep-rooted maritime traditions, the legend of the Italian vacation continues to reinvent itself in a unique atmosphere that blends nostalgia and modernity.
Starting with Rimini, the birthplace of Federico Fellini, who—setting out from right here—transformed his childhood into the cinematic legend of *La Dolce Vita*, a spirit that can still be felt as you stroll between the Grand Hotel and the tree-lined avenues. But there’s also Riccione, with its vibrant energy that has attracted young people and celebrities for generations, or Cesenatico, which preserves the elegance of its Porto Canale—a harbor that even Leonardo da Vinci once passed through—where, amid historic boats and seafood restaurants, you’ll find the Riviera’s most authentic spirit, while Milano Marittima continues to be the retreat of choice for those who love to blend nature and high society, amid pine forests and nightspots.
But Romagna isn’t just about the sea: it’s a land of innate hospitality, so lose yourself in its lavishly set tables and treat yourself to its delicacies. A piadina—be sure to get the classic version, with prosciutto, squacquerone cheese, and arugula—or cappelletti, a gesture of love passed down through generations. This is precisely Romagna’s winning combination, capable of attracting everyone: young and old, those seeking glamorous experiences and those seeking the most authentic relaxation. And perhaps this is precisely why, every summer, those who choose Romagna also have the privilege of becoming part of a story that has endured for years and continues to enchant generation after generation.
