Rimini Blu is named after the Romagna Riviera, a destination that has attracted travellers from all over the world. The collection is marked by graphic motifs stamped into the surface texture. Quick touches of colour are fixed beneath the blue glaze, and the crystalline layer makes them luminous. Each animal is reduced to a few strong volumes.

The elephant is also one of the subjects of Rimini Blu Le Miniature, the edition for the seventieth anniversary of stamp engraving. The series includes a second, rounder elephant. Bitossi Ceramiche has worked in Montelupo Fiorentino since 1921. Placed together, the two elephants tell the playful variety of the collection.
