The city of Rimini
Ariminum was founded in 268 to.C. by the Romans according to the typical construction along two main axes: the cardo (via Garibaldi and via IV Novembre) and the decumanus (corso d'augusto). The two roads meet in what at one time was the old roman forum, today named Piazza Tre Martiri in the memory of a fierce partisan resistance that earned the city the honor of a gold medal to the civil value.
