Cineteca Comunale in Palazzo Gambalunga (Gambalunga Palace Cinematheque), Rimini
The Gambalunga Palace, seat of the Gambalunga Civic Library, is also home to the Municipal Film Library, the Cineteca.
This cinematheque is one of the most important video archives in Italy, with a huge multimedia gallery. Open since 1987, it has to date amassed a rich collection of movie-related items including more than 17,000 books and other printed publications (posters, playbills, photographs, and magazines, both Italian and foreign) as well as over 10,000 motion pictures, on 35 and 16mm films, with various audiovisual support.
A special section within the cinematheque is dedicated to Federico Fellini. After the dissolution of the Federico Fellini Foundation, in 2015, the Cineteca acquired its archive, consisting of drawings and posters, as well as manuscripts, typescripts, documents from the set, screenplays, scores and audiovisual material. Another association with Fellini is that the top floor of the building, back in the day, used to house a secondary school which the future film director attended.
