The coastal holiday city that Italy has been keeping a secret for years
Along a path fringing the Adriatic Sea, I find families entering a play park and older couples walking hand in hand. This is Rimini, a long-time favourite coastal resort for Italians, which is becoming more accessible to UK travellers thanks to new British Airways direct flights from Heathrow, just in time for summer. My tour guide, Monia Magalotti, notes that some families have been choosing the same beach spots for decades. The city in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region features a pedestrianised "park of the sea," a quiet spot for morning strolls that transforms into a lively night-time destination. What once was a road and car park is now a 15km path curved like the waves of the sea. About 150 beach clubs line the path, along with restaurants, parks, gyms and more. But after leaving the path, crossing a road and then cycling for about 10 minutes, I'm surrounded by a mix of brightly coloured quaint buildings with shutters covering the windows that could have jumped out of a fairy tale. This is traditional fishing village Borgo San Giuliano, a popular area for restaurants, with tables overlooking the river. Monia says it's Rimini's hospitality that keeps people coming back here as opposed to better-known Italian destinations. 'It's about people being welcoming and kind and opening their arms. Even if you sit in a restaurant, you don't feel like a guest – you feel like part of the town, of the atmosphere, which is so authentic here,' she says. At Nud e Crud, I try Emilia-Romagna's traditional piadinas, soft fresh flat breads with a choice of fillings. Tomato, mozzarella and basil (€9.90/£8.30) takes my fancy but next door I see one with grilled chicken, tzatziki sauce and chips inside. I'm stuffed but there's always room for dessert so I go for tiramisu (€6/£5), and a spoonful of zuppa inglese (€6/£5). In the surrounding streets, there are several murals of director/screenwriter Federico Fellini and characters from his films. Two museums are dedicated to the filmmaker who was born in the city. In one, you can sit on swings as images play, or rest on a sofa which is actually a giant sculpture of Anita Ekberg 's character Sylvia from La Dolce Vita. Another striking Rimini building linked to Fellini is the Grand Hotel Rimini, built in 1908 and said to be where he would stay when he was in the area. The hotel's huge white façade is eye-catching both in the day and lit up surrounded by greenery in the evening. The property has hosted celebrities, politicians and royalty such as Diana, Princess of Wales. I visit for an evening meal in the restaurant, where I'm served a fish and shellfish salad, followed by seabass with artichoke and squid, then a lemon and chocolate mousse with passion fruit (mains around €26/£21.80). Beyond the city, there are a host of different day trip options a short distance away, including Ravenna – which was visited by the King and Queen in April. The town is home to eight UNESCO monuments, Italian poet Dante Alighieri's tomb and Museo Byron, a new museum housed in Palazzo Guiccioli, where Lord Byron stayed with his lover Teresa Gamba and her husband Count Alessandro Guiccioli from 1819 until 1821. This was possibly the longest time the British poet spent in one place in Italy, and in Ravenna he 'had a home and a family – a very peculiar family', Professor Diego Saglia, who helped set up the museum, explains. He came with all his animals and his daughter, and became a tenant of the Count, at the same time as being his wife's lover. The Queen – who is known for her love of books – visited the Byron museum, and Saglia tells me that after an official reception in the courtyard with speeches, they went inside the museum and Camilla 'could not be dragged out again'. One of the objects selected to be shown to the Queen was a travel case belonging to Teresa. A wedding gift for the marriage to her husband, she used it to collect items relating to Byron, including letters and locks of hair. A short walk from the museum is the octagonal Basilica of San Vitale, which dates back to the 6th century. It is home to striking and remarkably well-preserved glass mosaics and was visited by the King in April. About half an hour from Rimini by car is San Marino, a microstate within a medieval walled town. Granted independence at the time of Italy's unification, it's the fifth smallest country in the world with only 33,000 residents and still requires a passport to enter. The city sits hundreds of metres above sea level, and has a number of restaurants with views looking down across the land below, stretching to the sea. Daniel Terranova, manager of a hotel group which includes La Terrazza, a restaurant with views of rolling hills and the parliament building, says the funny thing in San Marino is he can pick up the phone and call the Prime Minister and tell them about his problems – not something you can do in many countries.

EasyJet launches new flight route to ‘underrated' Italian seaside city with stunning golden beaches & historic sites
EASYJET has launched a new flight route to an "underrated" hidden gem in Italy - are you ready to explore? Holidaymakers were thrilled to learn more about the budget airline's latest seaside destination on offer. 9 9 9 Adventurers can discover one of Italy's best kept secrets this summer - with packages starting at just £756 per person with flights and hotels included. Located in the northern Emilia-Romagna region, Rimini Riveria boasts nearly 25 miles of stunning coastline. Sunseekers will be sure to enjoy soaking up the rays at one, or many, of the breathtaking golden beaches. And, it could also make the perfect trip for any history buffs who wish to dive deeper into the area's rich past. Travellers can choose between two flights per week from London Gatwick. They have the option of checking into Hotel St Gregory Park in San Giuliano a Mare, or Milano Marittima's Grand Hotel Gallia - both of which boast four star ratings. Or, Cesenatico's five-star Grand Hotel Da Vinci is also available for those who desire an extra luxurious touch. Paul Bixby, EasyJet's chief commercial officer, said: "With sunshine and one of Italy's largest beaches, vibrant nightlife for couples and rich in history and culture, we're confident that Rimini will be popular with holidaymakers." The Emilia-Romagna region is famous for its down-to-earth, hearty food. Situated close to the sea, and countryside, local chefs have a wide variety of ingredients to choose from. A pasta dish called Strozzapreti has become one of the region's most popular meals, alongside fried seafood platers such as piadina and fritto misto. The destination is also famous for it's authentic Italian gelato which can be found at several eateries and restaurants. And, holidaymakers won't be short of activities, if lounging by the beach and pool becomes too laborious. The Fiabilandia theme park offers a fun-packed day on log flumes, rollercoasters and waterslides. 9 9 9 For those looking to learn more about the culture, nearby Ravenna is home to eight UNESCO World Heritage sites. Many of them date as far back at the fifth century AD. And, visitors can pay their respects to a man dubbed the "father" of the Italian language. The tomb of Dante Alighieri, an Italian poet and philosopher who wrote the Divine Comedy in Tuscan, can be found there. The best time to travel is during the spring and summer months, as the mercury tends to dip in the winter. Highs of 29C can be felt in August, and slightly cooler temperatures hovering around 22C in May. This comes as easyJet also revealed their latest flights launching from Leeds Bradford Airport with two new routes to Spain. The budget-friendly airline is adding new flights from the northern UK airport to the Spanish cities of Palma and Malaga this summer. Flights out of Leeds Bradford Airport to Palma, Majorca will be twice-weekly. One-way flights start from £24. And, an island in Africa yet to be popular with Brits has new flights from the UK and they take just a few hours. The Tunisian island of Djerba is often overlooked by UK tourists, who instead often choose to head to the Tunisian capital Tunis. But easyJet has launched a number of new routes to the island destination. Starting last year, the flights operate from London Luton and Manchester, with flights as little as £81 return. Currently popular with French and Tunisian holidaymakers, the new flights are expected to make it a popular destination with Brits too. Not only was Djerba said to have inspired Homer's Odyssey, but it was even used as a filming location for Tatooine, a planet in Star Wars. 9 9 9

🎥 Bologna celebrate Coppa Italia, chants for Italiano😍
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇮🇹 here. Bologna, the party is here. Yesterday afternoon in the Emilian capital, a real show in red and blue hues took place, with the team parading through the city streets on an open-top bus. Thirty thousand, this is the number of people present under the two towers to celebrate a historic milestone, which had been missing for 51 years. The architects of this year's miracle are Vincenzo Italiano and his terrible boys, who after the feat of twelve months - qualifying for the Champions League - managed to surpass themselves with the victory of the Coppa Italia. The scenes experienced yesterday afternoon were beautiful, with a unleashed Orsolini and captain De Silvestri. It all went on for a good part of the day and it doesn't matter if the end of the season took away from Bologna the possibility of qualifying again for the Champions League. A trophy is forever, it is destined to fill the trophy case and be passed down from father to son, as happened 51 years ago. A side note, regarding Italiano. The former Fiorentina coach, by choosing Bologna, may have taken the toughest road. Anyone would have had only to lose by taking over a team that seemed to have reached its peak. Italiano, however, thanks to his work and his connection with the city, has built a work of art. It's normal, then, that the entire red and blue people hope for his reconfirmation, and yesterday there were also chants in his favor. To be seen if it will be enough to ward off the interest of Milan.

Monaco Grand Prix: 5 things to watch out for
Is Red Bull's progress real after the Imola win? After Max Verstappen's surprise victory at Imola, the biggest question for the rest of this triple-header is whether Red Bull's improvements were track-specific – or if the team is now in a position to challenge McLaren on a regular basis. Linked to that: was Red Bull surprisingly quick in Italy, or was McLaren surprisingly slow on Sunday? Advertisement The papaya team insists it wasn't affected by the two technical directives issued by the FIA ahead of the Emilia-Romagna GP, and Verstappen remained cautious too. After the race, the Dutchman pointed to a pattern: Red Bull has been competitive on tracks with many high-speed corners (Suzuka, Jeddah, and Imola), but has struggled more on circuits where low-speed performance is crucial (Bahrain and Miami). Monaco is the ultimate low-speed track on the F1 calendar, so Red Bull anticipates a tough weekend in the principality. That's even more the case given that kerb-riding and handling over bumps haven't been Red Bull's strong points in recent years, to put it mildly. It likely means the Monaco Grand Prix will be a weekend of damage limitation – although rain in qualifying could change things for Verstappen. After that, Barcelona will be the real test on a more representative track, with tyre degradation and the FIA's clampdown on flexi-wings as key factors. – Ronald Vording Norris needs a strong qualifying Lando Norris is clearly struggling this year, no question about that. And, as always, he's the first to admit it. He's underdelivering on the promise he showed ahead of the season - and clearly needs to do better. Yet, heading into Monaco, he's just 11 points behind his team-mate, championship leader Oscar Piastri. Lando Norris, McLaren Lando Norris, McLaren Steven Tee / LAT Images via Getty Images Steven Tee / LAT Images via Getty Images Advertisement There have been a couple of unnecessary mistakes this year – the Q3 crash in Jeddah being the main one – but it's mostly his one-lap pace that's let him down. "Last year, this was my biggest... in my whole career, qualifying has been my biggest strength by a long way. This year, it's just not coming my way," he said in Imola. He added: "I think we understand some reasons why." The quicker Norris can turn that understanding into solutions, the easier things will become. In Imola, he got away with P4 in qualifying – thanks in part to some luck with the timing of the safety car – and finished second, arguably the best possible result for McLaren. But relying on safety car timing isn't a strategy for a championship contender. Norris must start qualifying better. Advertisement – Oleg Karpov Tsunoda under pressure Yuki Tsunoda urgently needs to start performing like a Red Bull driver. Five grands prix have passed since the Japanese driver left Racing Bulls, and he has yet to deliver a standout performance for the Milton Keynes-based squad. He didn't help his cause by crashing in Q1 during qualifying for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix – an error he called 'stupid'. While Tsunoda recovered well from a pitlane start to finish tenth on Sunday in Imola, and he continues to enjoy Helmut Marko's support – likely because there's no one else ready to take his place – that won't last forever. Yuki Tsunoda, Red Bull Racing Yuki Tsunoda, Red Bull Racing Red Bull Content Pool Red Bull Content Pool Advertisement Qualifying has been his biggest weakness since moving to the RB21, with an average deficit of 0.864s to Max Verstappen and just two top-10 starts. His races have been slightly better, but his best result remains ninth in Bahrain. The good news: Monaco is a chance for redemption. Tsunoda has improved in qualifying every year since his first outing in the principality, achieved eighth in both qualifying and the race last year, and scored his first Monaco points. If he can build on that, it will be a step forward. – Federico Faturos Can Ferrari sort qualifying? In Imola, a favourable race scenario masked Ferrari's qualifying weakness. But will that work in Monaco? Probably not. This weekend brings a new tyre regulation, adding another variable – yet one truth remains: only those who qualify well on Saturday have a real shot on Sunday. Advertisement For Ferrari, this means: if they don't solve their qualifying issues, it will show in the results – unlike in Imola – and at one of the most prestigious races of the year. And then, team principal Frédéric Vasseur may no longer be able to deny that the team is under real pressure. Should the planned updates for Barcelona also fall short, Ferrari could find itself in not just a technical, but a full-blown sporting crisis – just as Lewis Hamilton suggested when he said the rest of the season could be 'painful' for Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari Peter Fox / Getty Images Peter Fox / Getty Images The next few weeks will show whether Hamilton was right or if Ferrari can turn things around. But in its current state, the legendary team simply cannot afford a Monaco failure – and hoping for a lucky race isn't in line with its self-image. Advertisement – Stefan Ehlen Will two-stop rule work? Last year's Monaco Grand Prix wasn't exciting, to say the least – which prompted a response from F1 leadership. This year, Monaco will host the first-ever championship race with two mandatory tyre changes. Since overtaking is nearly impossible in the principality, it's seen as one of the only ways to spice up Sunday. How it plays out remains to be seen. Will teams explore different strategies? Will it reduce the importance of qualifying? Will it make the show better? Right now, there are more questions than answers. – Oleg Karpov To read more articles visit our website.
