Rimini in The Gladiator[]

Rimini was not only a popular destination for German and Scandinavian tourists who recklessly risked sunburn on the beach, but was also the location of By the Arch Repairs, a front company for Crosstime Traffic. Rimini acted as a "back-up" location to The Three Sixes, the gaming shop Crosstime Traffic established in nearby San Marino. However, when the Security Police of the Italian People's Republic discovered other gaming shops were subtly spreading capitalist ideas, The Three Sixes was quietly seized, leaving Rocco and Giulio, the operators of By the Arch, behind.

The following August, the Mazzilli and the Crosetti families traveled to Rimini for a vacation. With them was Eduardo Caruso, another stranded Crosstime employee. When Caruso discovered that The Three Sixes had been compromised, he was able to locate By the Arch Repairs. The three Crosstimers then made plans to return to their home timeline.
