Fellini Museum and Cinema Fulgor, Rimini

The Valloni Palace at Augusto Street, number 162, was owned by the noble brothers Demofonte and Aurelio Valloni. The facade of the building was completely rebuilt in 1787 as designed by the Neoclassicist architect Giuseppe Valadier. After restorations in 1920 by architect Addo Cupi, the Palace became Cinema Fulgor.

The cinema has been closed for a few years but reopened as part of the new Fellini Museum in Rimini, dedicated to filmmaker Federico Fellini. The opening, on the occasion of Fellini's 100th birthday celebration, recalls the former glory of the earlier Fulgor, a regional cinema showing Fellini's films, Roma and Amarcord.

The restored Art Nouveau building opened with two rooms dedicated to film showings, Federico Room (seating 190) and Giulietta Room (seating 52). The building has three floors with Fellini's poetry, photos, portraits, posters, projects, and unfulfilled ideas.

The two screening rooms on the ground floor were designed by Oscar winner and production designer Dante Ferretti in the old Hollywood style. The main movie screen is located on the second floor.

On the uppermost floor is a loft space showing projected sequences of Fellini's films on the walls. The ceiling has a reproduction of the astral chart of Fellini's birth, January 20, 1920.
