Courtesy of IGS, Getty In a bid to streamline transport and logistics — and spare attendees from spending half the festival shuttling up and down the Italian Riviera — this year’s Italian Global Series Festival has drawn a clearer line between its two host cities. Rimini takes the opening days (July 3–6), Riccione the central stretch (July 7–10), before the event returns to Rimini for its closing ceremony on July 11.
The split should also give visitors more time to absorb the festival’s distinctive settings: from the historic Cinema Fulgor — where a young Federico Fellini first fell under cinema’s spell — to the imposing Castel Sismondo, the 15th-century fortress that now houses the Fellini Museum. Indeed, rather than treating Rimini’s most famous son as a backdrop, IGS has made him a patron saint.
