The big ‘R’ echoing the famous graphics of Adolfo Busi lights up the new ‘Parco del Mare’. The lamp post we’ve manufactured is ten meters high and draws the letter ‘R' of Rimini, recalling the style of the famous Bolognese artist, who – in 1929 – signed one of the most famous bathing resort posters created to promote the city.
