The province of Rimini

The provine of Rimini looks out over the Adriatic Sea, is home to about 342,000 residents. Rimini city is the center of the Romagna Riviera, a destination for tourists from around the world. Founded by the ancient Romans, that made the spot one of the major points in their Mediterranean network, Rimini features a historical and artistic heritage of great importance, including the “Tempio Malatestiano” di L.B. Alberti, a symbol of the Renaissance, Castel Sismondo the castle and residence of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, other villas and noble palaces, archeological sites and squares of great interest. Rimini is also the hometown of celebrated director Federico Fellini, who describes the city’s magic atmosphere in his films. The city is home to a Campus of the University of Bologna with 4,855 students enrolled (RER, a.y.2023-24).The area’s economy is based on tertiary tourism services, but the development of this industry has simultaneously fostered the development of several others, including: advanced tertiary services, trade, construction, and industrial production. These last sectors feature primarily small and medium enterprises working in the food, woodworking, construction, furniture, clothing and publishing industries. Agriculture and fishing, that for centuries made up the city’s major economic resources, have become secondary industries, decentralized due to constantly increasing tourist activities. Today, Rimini is a dynamic city, constantly changing, with many cultural, environmental and urban requalification projects underway.

Description of socio-economic context

Production specialisation, districts and specialities, foreign investors in the province

The tourism sector, which extends throughout the territory and in particular along the coast, is an example of promotion of local assets that has few equals in the world. The area’s economy is based on tertiary tourism services, but the development of this industry has simultaneously fostered the development of several others, including: advanced tertiary services, trade, construction, and industrial production. These last sectors feature primarily small and medium enterprises working in the food, woodworking, construction, furniture, clothing and publishing industries. Agriculture and fishing, that for centuries made up the city’s major economic resources, have become secondary industries, decentralized due to constantly increasing tourist activities. The most important industries are building and construction, mechanical engineering, and agrifood, with specialisations in fashion and boating, in particular the production of luxury yachts. The agribusiness industry excels in both production and distribution, as well as for typical products that range from piadinas to wine.

The Rimini exhibition centre is one of the most important in the region, with fairs of international importance such as Sigep, Macfrut, TTG, Ecomondo, Key Energy and RiminiWellness.

There are about 111 companies in the province with a turnover of more than 1 million euros controlled by a foreign global ultimate owner (2023, Aida BvD, processing by ART-ER), including: Ferretti, Optima-Mec3, Celli, Scrigno, Masterwood, Roc, Ruthmann
