Rimini opens call for new director of its municipal museums
Rimini is on the lookout for a new director for its Musei Comunali following Giovanni Sassu's resignation at the end of 2024, which was due to personal and family reasons. Sassu, who had previously managed the Museo di Arte Antica and the Museo della Cattedrale di Ferrara, was brought on board in spring 2022 by Mayor Jamil Sadegholvaad because of his impressive expertise. The municipal museum circuit includes several attractions like the Museo della Città and the Fellini Museum. The announcement from Palazzo Garampi has been delayed to help attract top-tier candidates through a national search. Applications must be submitted by July 3, 2025, with a shortlist expected by July 7, 2025. Mayor Sadegholvaad and Culture Councillor Michele Lari will make the final decision after interviews.
