THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHER OF RICCIONE
The beach photographer was born in Riccione in 1902.
In fact, it was the beginning of the 1900s when Bianchi from Rimini set up his own hut on the beach and inaugurated the profession of "beach photographer", later called "scattino".
In those years the number of tourists economically justified this new profession, with postcards produced directly by the photographers, thus becoming, without their knowledge, the first communicators of the destination of Riccione.
After 100 years, the figure of "snapping" on the beach still exists but with different and cutting-edge technologies. Now we see the shot on the beach printed in real time, as well as the memories of the holiday on our smartphone.
