Expert Tip. Among Rimini's most famous residents is Federico Fellini, one of the most influential and revered film- makers of the 20th century. Born and raised in the city, the Oscar-winning director has a museum dedicated to his memory, 1.5 kilometres from the hotel, and his tomb, which features a sail-shaped monument upon the water, is located at the entrance of the city's main cemetery.
