From 31 July to 10 August 2026, the garden of the historic Grand Hotel Rimini will once again host *La Terrazza della Dolce Vita*, the cultural festival conceived and presented by Simona Ventura and Giovanni Terzi, which has become one of the most eagerly awaited events of the summer in Rimini.

Over the course of eleven evenings, starting at 6.30 pm with free admission, the public will be able to attend talks and discussions with over 40 leading figures from the worlds of culture, entertainment, journalism, music, sport and public institutions.

The central theme of the 2026 edition will be ‘Bonds of the Heart – Love Across Generations’, a theme that will guide the dialogue between guests through reflections, stories and personal accounts focusing on intergenerational relationships, bridging the past and the present.

The stage will feature a succession of leading figures such as Dante Ferretti, a three-time Oscar winner, Iva Zanicchi, Stefano Zecchi, Vincenzo Schettini, Luca Barbareschi, Serena Bortone, Alan Friedman, Rula Jebreal, Gianluigi Nuzzi and numerous other guests who will bring the cultural salon to life each evening.

The programme will also be enriched by an exhibition dedicated to Dante Ferretti, which opened on 1 August and runs until 30 August in the elegant surroundings of the Grand Hotel, as well as free dance lessons with instructors Graziano Di Prima and Giada Lini, a familiar face from *Ballando con le Stelle*.

The event will draw to a close on 10 August with a concert by the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation Orchestra, which will pay tribute to the unforgettable tenor from Modena.

Year after year, this festival transforms the Grand Hotel in Rimini into a prestigious open-air salon, where culture, entertainment and current affairs come together in one of the most iconic venues on the Romagna Riviera.
