Rimini participates in the celebrations for the seven hundred years celebrations since the death of Dante Alighieri with a series of initiatives as part of the "Francesca 2021" project, conceived and promoted by Francesca da Rimini International Study Center.
Aimed at recovering attention to history, arts, memory and, above all, to the positive values that Francesca represents, the project involves the ancient territories of the Malatesta, between the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Marche, with a rich program of exhibitions, shows, events, educational activities, guided tours ...
Among the initiatives of international importance, the original BACI DAL MONDO / Worldwide Kisses Ecumenic flash mob: a tribute to Dante and Francesca da Rimini on the seventh centenary of the poet's death. If March 21, 2021 will be the "Dante day", March 8, 2021 will be the "Francesca day", with an entire day dedicated to Francesca da Rimini, the most beloved character of the Comedy, which will involve students and teachers from twenty-one universities from the five continents to recite, animate and comment the fifth Canto from the Inferno/Hell in the language of their country.
