Rimini's multimedia archaeological museum under the Teatro Galli is born

Under the stalls of Rimini ’s Teatro Galli, a multimedia archaeological museum to tell the more than 2,000-year history of the city of Rimini was opened to coincide with the return of grand opera with Giuseppe Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra.

A story told through ancient artifacts and state-of-the-art technology in an exhibition itinerary to discover findings made during the complex excavation campaign conducted for the reconstruction of the theater, such as mosaics, part of an early Christian church and remains of tee domus from the Roman era. The remains testify to a settlement pattern and the evolution of the urban district from the founding of Ariminum to late antiquity.

Multimedia tools allow visitors to learn about the history of Rimini at a glance, starting with the settlement of the colony in about 220 B.C., continuing through the Republican and Imperial periods of ancient Rome, the period after the fall of the Roman Empire, the medieval and Malatesta periods, and ending with nineteenth-century Rimini. This is followed by sections on the history of Italian-style theater, the architecture of Rimini’s theater, the biography and music of Giuseppe Verdi (in an immersive room you can listen to his most famous compositions), and finally in the archaeological area, in the strict sense of the word, you can see the surface of the archaeological excavation.

The mayor of Rimini said, “A museum of the present where technology meets archaeology and history, to live a complete experience. Construction techniques also come together, with the exposed materials of the new constructions dialoguing with the archaeological finds. A museum therefore that joins cultural containers such as ARimini Caput Viarum, Surgeon’s Domus, Fellini Museum, Malatesta Square and the Castle: a vastness of places enhanced and at the center of the city’s transformation path that testify to the vastness and importance of our cultural heritage.”
