Tourists are returning to Rimini, the iconic Summer destination in Italy despite some restrictions are still in place.


With the closure of the reception services one step away from the Summer in Italy, there were fears the holiday season 2020 was over before it even begun.

After almost two months of lockdown due to the new coronavirus outbreak in the country and the reopening of tourist attractions, people started going back to the Adriatic coast.
SBS Italian spoke with a hotelier from Rimini, owner of the Hotel St Moritz. Barbara Fabbri who was optimistic about the start of the post-COVID summer season.
