this summer I had the chance to visit the Aviation Museum in Rimini, which opened some 20 years ago. I remember my excitation when I saw all those exotic airframes on a hill when coming back from San Marino more than 20 years ago, and I decided to visit it again during my summer holidays in the Marche region, where my mother was born.
The museum is placed halfway between Rimini and San Marino and can be easily reached by car.
The collection is run by a private foundation, as far as I remember. They are experiencing financial trouble. In fact, the airframes are very badly preserved and the price charged for the ticket (€10) is too high for what is offered IMHO. Anyway, it is a good chance to see some exotic airframes that cannot be seen anywhere else in Italy, as well as a Scud missile and a T-55 tank.
I reckon the founders of the museum got most of the collection in Poland.
Also, the museum used to host the original wrecks of the three Frecce Tricolori aircrafts which collided at Ramstein killing three pilots and several spectators

As of today there is only a memorial with the tail of an MB.339 (it is the glass pyramid visible in the background of the second F-4 photo).
