The Roman town was founded in 268 B.C. with the name of Ariminum, of this period we still have the Augusto arch and the Tiberio bridge that are located at the extreme parts of the town. From Ariminum the via Emilia linked all the valley to Piacenza.</font><p><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial" size="3">In the Imperial and first Middle Age time, the town was invaded and it was capital of the "Pentapoli Marittima" territory, under the Bizantine State. With the economic recovery of the XI cent, the town had a quite florid period; during the Comuni period the Palazzo del Comune and the Palazzo del Podesta' were built.</font></p> <p><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial" size="3">Between the end of the XIII cent. and the half of the XIV cent. the Scuola Riminese was born, influenced by Giotto who painted in the town the Crucifix; the school has its major exponent in Neri, Giovanni, Giulano, Pietro and Francesco and Giovanni Baronzio; these maestri spread their works in the Alta Valle del Metauro region.</font></p> <p><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial" size="3">Under the Malatesta the town had a very florid period showed by the temple that was designed by Leon Battista Alberti.</font></p> <p><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial" size="3">At the beginning of the XIV cent the town went back to the Church State until 1859; after that in 1860 the town joined the other towns and became part of Italy Reign. In the following period Rimini was open to new ideas and cultural innovations. The Fascist period meant for Rimini a falling into a close minded period represented by Federico Fellini in some of his movies.</font></p> <p><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial" size="3">After the war the town came across a touristic invasion that made of it one of the most famous seaside resorts.
