Comedians born in Rimini

Rimini is the Adriatic Riviera's flagship resort, stretching for miles of beach behind a nightlife famous across Italy, yet its Roman roots still stand in the Arch of Augustus and the Bridge of Tiberius. The filmmaker Federico Fellini was born here, and the dreamlike world of his films drew directly on the town he grew up in.

Summer floods Rimini with visitors, keeping its clubs and entertainment venues busy and giving Italy's touring stand-up circuit an easy stop on its way around the country. Among the comics linked to the city is Alessandro Ciacci, a Rimini native.
