History

Entrepreneur Giancarlo Tirotti opened the nightclub on 29 June 1975 as the Baia degli Angeli (lit. 'Bay of Angels'). [2] [3] Tirotti, who was residing in the United States, wanted to import innovative nightclubbing to his holidays in Cattolica. [2] The venue presented a distinctively new type of clubbing on the riviera romagnola, with extended opening hours, large spaces, two swimming pools, a restaurant, and a panoramic terrace. [3]

The Baia degli Angeli closed in 1978. [3] The club was renovated and reopened in 1985. [1]

In 2018, for the fourth consecutive year, Baia Imperiale was ranked the top Italian nightclub in the International Nightlife Association's Top 100 Best Clubs in the World. The nightclub was ranked 19th worldwide. [4] In 2019, the Baia Imperiale began hosting annual proms for students leaving secondary schools in the province of Rimini and San Marino. [5] In August 2021, the nightclub was forcibly closed for a month by the order of the police commissioner following repeated public order disturbances by its patrons. [6]

Features

The nightclub is notable for its distinctive columns. It consists of four musical environments: La Sala del Senato, Lo Zodiaco, La Sala delle Piscine and La Terrazza. [1]

The nightclub has been used as a filming location for several Italian films, including Abbronzatissimi   [ it ] (1991) and S.P.Q.R.: 2,000 and a Half Years Ago (1994). [1]
