Pennabilli, Medieval commune in Province of Rimini, Italy
Pennabilli is a commune in the Province of Rimini situated on elevated terrain within a regional park defined by distinctive mountain formations. The settlement spreads across a hilly landscape where the terrain shapes how the town is distributed across the area.
Two communities called Penna and Billi merged in the mid-1300s, cementing their union with a symbolic stone of peace. This joining established the foundation for the present-day municipality and its collective identity.
The town maintains a distinctive connection to Tibet through Orazio Olivieri's legacy, who created the first Italian-Tibetan dictionary during his religious mission there. This relationship shapes the local identity today and draws visitors interested in this unusual link between Europe and Asia.
The town is served by several regional airports with regular bus service to the town center. Those arriving by car should be prepared for steep, winding roads typical of mountain terrain.
Mateureka is a museum dedicated entirely to mathematics and calculation, offering visitors hands-on ways to engage with the subject. Equally surprising is L'Angelo coi Baffi, which captures attention because of its exceptionally tiny size.
