A land where food plays such an important role in the life of its inhabitants simply had to have great events dedicated to good food. 1- AI Mèni – Circus-street market of flavours and things made by hand and with heart, Rimini Al Mèni means “hands” in local dialect and here special dishes are prepared by hand, with love and passion. And that is exactly what Massimo Bottura puts in his dream for this initiative, which features established and up-and-coming chefs, designers, farmers and wine producers.
