An outstanding piece of recent Italian heritage
Inaugurated on 1 August 1932, the structure made up of four large brick buildings served as a summer colony. It hosted up to 1,200 children during the Fascio Bolognese period, with the aim of contributing to "human reclamation".
In 1939-40 the colony changed its use and was opened for children from Albania and Libya, to protect them from war events.
During the Second World War, the Bolognese colony first served as a shelter for the veterans of the expedition to Russia and after 25 July 1943 was transformed into a women's internment camp for the sabotage and espionage corps of the RSI.
In 1947 it resumed functioning as a summer colony of the Municipality of Bologna.
The public beach of Rimini-Miramare is a quiet place compared to the most popular baths. Equipment must be provided. In 2019 it became a place for musical afternoons, I do not recommend it from late afternoon.
Bella brings me back .. When a child from Minerbio prov Bologna were leaving by coach with the nun dressed in white ... I can still hear in my memories the steps in those immense halls ... The potatoes with parsley they gave us ... Unique indelible memories
It is a magical place, theater of beautiful initiatives. Unfortunately at the mercy of vandals and administrations dedicated to the only gain that impallables with unlikely stages for the Jova Beach Party with flying and exposed electric wires, entry to the free beach blocked on weekends or rubbish left after the evening.
