HOLIDAY IN RIMINI

ON a map of Northern Italy, Rimini appears as a large bulge on the thirty-mile stretch of luxurious, finely-sanded beaches which make up the Adriatic Riviera. If this sounds like an extract from a publicity blurb, it is because I am remembering a particularly delightful fortnight I spent there, staying very comfortably at one of the ultra-modern hotels which are set in wide, tree-lined avenues.
