Overview
To celebrate its 60th anniversary, the Bagnini Cooperative of Cattolica is launching a cultural and collective project: an open-air photographic exhibition.
From 13 December to 6 April, the exhibition "BAGNINI BAGNANTI – Lifeguards and Bathers. 60 years of life, faces and images of the Cooperativa Bagnini (Lifeguard Cooperative), hosted on the Cattolica seafront, will offer an authentic and heartfelt glimpse into beach life in Cattolica: an all-embracing, intimate account of the beach that spans generations and seasons, through the eyes of those who have animated – and continue to animate – the beach establishments: the lifeguards and bathers.
There are people who live by the sea.
And then there are those who attribute to it rhythm, order, and meaning.
They are familiar with its silences, how it lies in wait, its bursts of fury.
In Cattolica, this story began in 1965 with the establishment of the first lifeguard cooperative on the Romagna Riviera: a shared decision, a gesture that transformed a profession into responsibility, identity, and continuous presence.
Sixty years by the sea.
Sixty years of stories.
Sixty years together.
