Rimini and surroundings ...

VALMARECCHIA AND VALCONCA

Rimini, as we know, is not just the sea. The unexpected stretches immediately behind the coast  valleys of the Conca and Marecchia rivers , with green hills and with numerous historical and artistic testimonies in the typical villages and towns. Here in between The Middle Ages and the Renaissance fought bitter disputes between Sigismondo Malatesta, lord of Rimini, and Federico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino : the fortresses and fortresses that meet along the valleys tell of this turbulent past.

VALCONCA

South of Rimini meets the Conca Valley. This valley is characterized  from gentle hills planted with vineyards and olive groves, fortresses and fortified villages.  The valley preserves intact environments of great naturalistic value, such as the caves of Onferno, a Gemmano , or as the wood of Albereto  with the splendid fortified village of Montescudo .

Everywhere there are castles built by the Malatesta to defend their Rimini possessions. Among all the fortress of Montefiore Conca , an impressive military and residential complex that has hosted princes, emperors and popes. The fortress offers a unique view of the sea. Mondaino  with its particular semicircular square, it becomes a real theater for the challenges of the traditional Palio del Daino (not to be missed for the accurate historical reconstruction) which takes place every year in mid-August. Nearby he is Saludecio , particularly characteristic thanks to the many beautiful murals on the facades of the houses and for its surprising Garibaldi Museum. Montegridolfo  it has kept its medieval structure intact, while going down it meets San Giovanni in Marignano , called the granary of the Malatesta family.

L’ Alta Valmarecchia is  the ancient heart of Montefeltro, the destination of illustrious men, from Dante to San Francesco, from Cagliostro to Ezra Pound. Its uncontaminated environment, the indescribable landscapes, the famous and sought-after typical products make it a timeless travel destination. San Leo , the gateway to Montefeltro anchored to a mighty boulder, has a beautiful ancient Romanesque church next to the Duomo and Palazzo Mediceo and a fortress that saw Cagliostro as a prisoner. Talamello  is famous for  Amber , the famous pit cheese.

In Natural Park of Sasso Simone and Simoncello  it rises instead Pennabilli : residence of Tonino Guerra , poet and writer, he realized you Places of the soul , a poetic museum spread across the territory. Also not to be missed are the two ancient castles, that of the Billi above the Rupe and that of Penna above the Roccione. Finally we get to Sant’Agata Feltria , with its Rocca Fregoso that looks like something out of a fairy tale. The village is famous for the white truffle , an excellence that is celebrated every year in October.

VALMARECCHIA

Just behind Rimini, Valmarecchia was born, characterized by the contrast between harmonious landscapes and unexpected limestone spurs. The first municipality for proximity to Rimini is Santarcangelo of Romagna , the heart of the sparkling and creative life of Romagna: a small village made up of ancient buildings, stairways and squares, full of places where you can taste authentic Romagna cuisine in a mix of tradition and innovation. Entering the Valmarecchia it is found Verucchio , clearly visible on the spur of rock overlooking the plain and also known as the “cradle of the Malatesta” because the progenitor, the Mastin Vecchio, was born here.

The village preserves the typical medieval imprint well. The testimonies of an important past are collected in the Rocca and in the Villanovian Archaeological Park. The ancient name of TorrianaFlayed,  gives a good idea of this country built on the rock. The Malatesta family built a fortress here to guard the Via Maior, the ancient road that went up the Valmarecchia towards Tuscany. An authentic jewel is the village of Beautiful mountain  with its fortress and its legends.
