Overview

Cesenatico, a town located on the Romagna Riviera, has always been synonymous with seaside tourism. Every 100 meters, an endless series of massive buildings alternate—structures that, over the years, have welcomed generations of teenagers during the summer: the colonies, many of which have since been abandoned and left to decay. In 2014, Simone Tribuiani—known as Tribu—with the help and support of other local creatives, decided to revitalize one of them: the former Santarcangiolese colony, later renamed Bronx Ponente. Inside, he created a space dedicated to local artists, surfers, and skaters—a place for meeting and self-expression. In 2020, members of H.C.B.P. (Hard Core Bronx Ponente)—a collective of skaters that emerged from the events of La Santa—breathed new life into another structure, located just a few meters from the Bronx.
