Riccione's name is of uncertain origin.[13] It first appears as Arcioni in the Bavarian Code [it], a register of investitures of the church in Ravenna in 810-816 AD.[6][9] Several hypotheses have been advanced for its etymology:[13]
A botanical explanation is offered by the plant Arctium, which would have grown along the banks of the Fontanelle, a minor stream in Riccione's south.
From architecture, the name could refer to a fortress from the Latin arcis (stronghold, especially on a hill), or the arches of a Roman aqueduct.
It may refer to a saddlebow (Italian: arcione), describing the depression of the land between the Rio Melo and the Fontanelle, a resting point for pilgrims on horseback, or referring to the legend of St Martin of Tours, Riccione's patron, dismounting his horse to share his cloak with a pilgrim.
It may refer to a Roman 'Arcioni' family.
Since its modern development, Riccione has been nicknamed la Perla Verde (the Green Pearl), a reflection of its greenery and affluent villas.[14]
Riccione's oldest archaeological remains were found in the Villaggio Papini area, and date to 5,000 BC and the Bronze Age.[4]
Following the Roman victory at the Battle of Sentinum in 295 BC, the region became important for the Roman's expansion against the Celts, leading to the foundation of the colonia of Ariminum (modern Rimini) in 268 BC and the construction of the Via Flaminia, running from Rome to Ariminum.[9][15] A Roman settlement in Riccione, officially a vicus, was centred in the area of the present-day San Lorenzo in Strada, where the Via Flaminia turned to a more northerly bearing.[16][12] Excavations near the present-day pharmacy revealed a necropolis and several buildings,[17] dating to the second century BC.[18][8] A single-arched Roman bridge over the Rio Melo survives next to the SS16 [it] state road.[12][15][17] The bridge was restored in the 17th century and used until the 1930s.[15][17] The Via Flaminia in Riccione was on a climb, requiring additional animals to help transport loaded carts;[18] from ancient times until the arrival of the railway, helping goods cross the area was a profitable local business.[19]
In later centuries, San Lorenzo in Strada was likely depopulated from swamping and incursions during the Gothic Wars.[8][9] Land grants are recorded in the "Arcioni area" in the Bavarian Code [it] in 810-816 AD, while the churches of San Lorenzo in Strada and San Martino in Arcione are first recorded in documents dated to 997 and 1177.[9][6][20] The latter church was located on Cavrèt d'Arvura, a hill in the area of the present-day Fontanelle, south of Riccione along an eponymous stream.[13][21]
In 1260, the area was settled by the Florentine Agolanti family,[8][12][18] who were linked to the Malatesta lords of Rimini.[6][12][18] The family built a castle on the hills in Riccione's outskirts.[8][12][18] A 1371 census records two residential areas,[9][6] numbering 150 residents.[6] In the 16th century, the main hamlet was known as Le Casette,[13] named after a stream running parallel to the Via Flaminia.[4]
In 1673, after decades of local campaigns,[22] the Papal States approved the building of watchtowers by the Torrente Marano and the Fontanelle to defend from Saracen and Usok pirate raids.[18][8][6][22] On 8 January 1889, Riccione became the site of the shipwrecking of the Dutch Zeepaard sailing ship, which ran aground as it sailed from Venice to Ancona.[22]
The beach was expanded between the 16th and 19th centuries, during which time it was used for rice paddies.[18][12] Riccione's population numbered 850 at the end of 1700, centred around San Martino.[9]
At the time of Italy's unification in 1861, Riccione numbered 1,800 residents.[23] It was a poor area, reliant on subsistence agriculture and, to a lesser extent, fishing.[9] Italy's unification accelerated the construction of the Bologna–Ancona railway, whose section between Rimini and Ancona was inaugurated on 17 November 1861,[5] though Riccione would only have a permanent stop from 1865.[19][24] The town grew in popularity soon afterwards: affluent Bolognese families constructed elegant residences, which functioned as second homes by the sea.[18]
During the same period, Don Carlo Tonini, the parish priest of San Martino,[8] proposed that the seaside could cure children living in the Po Valley of scrofula.[24] He organised summer holidays for afflicted children,[19] who stayed with host families in Riccione;[8][19] Tonini would collect them each morning, with farmers providing transport aboard their ox-drawn carts from the town to the seaside along Viale Viola.[19] The holidays were helped by supporting committees in cities across Emilia-Romagna;[8][19] Riccione's treatments were cheaper than regional alternatives.[8][9] In 1867, Tonini accommodated 106 children with the help of the Bolognese committee.[8]
At the start of 1872, Riccione numbered 111 families in 76 buildings; a further 213 families in 174 houses were scattered in its countryside. Its total population was 1,940.[19] At this time, Count Giacinto Martinelli, from Santa Colomba, bought 90,000 square metres (22 acres) of Riccione's seaside, north of the railway between Viale Viola and the present-day Viale Cesare Battisti,[25] which he developed with wide avenues and tree-lined roads, selling plots of land for the construction of villas.[25][26] In 1877, in partnership with Emilio Amati, Martinelli established Riccione's first marine hospice,[8][19] which was the second in Romagna for the treatment of scrofulus children after the Matteucci hospice in Rimini.[25] Three other marine hospices followed before the turn of the century, as well as a short-lived hydrotherapy establishment.[27]
The first villas were built along Viale Viola in 1884.[8] By 1885, there were up to 12 villas owned by foreign residents.[9] In 1889, a mutual aid company for sailors was founded.[8] Riccione's beaches were developed into bathing resorts with lifeguards following the first state concessions in 1895.[8][6]
Particularly important to Riccione's development in the late 19th century was the American Maria Boorman Weeler.[18][8][12][23] Her husband, Giovanni Ceccarini, was a doctor from Cantiano; he fought for the Roman Republic, whose fall led him to exile in New York, where he met and married Maria. On their return to Italy, the Ceccarinis bought several properties in Riccione and Scacciano,[28] a village in Misano Adriatico by Riccione's border.[3][29] Following Giovvani's death in Scacciano in 1888,[28][30][31] Maria began a proliferous philanthropic relationship with the area, beginning with a 200 lire donation for its civic library.[28][32] She donated further funds for an annual winter soup kitchen from 1890,[28][32] and the construction of a kindergarten (1891), the city's hospital (1892-93),[8][9][28][32][33] whose generator powered streetlights along Via Flaminia and Viale Viola,[9][32][33] and Riccione's port (1901).[8][9][28][32] Maria died on 31 August 1903,[28] leaving a further 650,000 lire in her will for the hospital and a garden.[32][33] On 11 October 1911, Rimini's municipal council renamed Viale Viola to Viale Maria Ceccarini.[34]
In 1901, Sebastiano Amati inaugurated the city's first hotel in Viale Viola.[6][8][9] In 1910, the Teatro Sghedoni was inaugurated;[35] the theatre was later renamed the Kursaal and the Teatro Dante.[36]
In 1905, Amati, Ausonio Franzoni, and Felice Pullè established a society to obtain more services from the municipality of Rimini.[9] In 1910, they presented a petition, signed by the majority of Riccione's residents, for the frazione's independence from the municipality.[9][23]
The outbreak of the First World War suspended the independence campaign.[9][23] Sixty-one names are recorded in the war memorial in Riccione's cemetery.[37] The war caused significant hardship in Riccione: its tourist industry collapsed; an agricultural crisis caused severe inflation and the rationing of flour and bread; and about seventy fishing families were hurt by a regulation that prohibited fishing beyond 500 metres (1,600 feet) from the coast. Additionally, because of the strategic importance of the railway, the town was bombed from the sea and sky by the Austrian-Hungarian army, and crossed by many Venetian refugees.[38]
The 1916 Rimini earthquakes razed about 80% of Riccione's buildings.[37] The 16 August earthquake destroyed the church of San Lorenzo in Strada,[8][17][37][39] and the Martinelli-Amati hospice.[8][37] No fatalities were recorded in Riccione, attributed to the 17 May earthquake.[37] The earthquakes worsened the living conditions of local people,[40][41] already depressed by the First World War.[42] Unemployment increased considerably.[41] In the exodus to leave Riccione, tourists were leaving their bags at the railway station in the hope that they could shorten their wait to board a train leaving the town.[43]
On 6 April 1921, Rimini's socialist municipal administration endorsed Riccione's request for independence.[23] The border between the comuni was established at the Rio dell'Asse; Rimini had unsuccessfully proposed that the border be further south at the Torrente Marano, to the disapproval of residents residing between the Rio dell'Asse and the Torrente Marano, including in the historic San Lorenzo in Strada. In return for being granted its desired border at the Rio dell'Asse, Minister Aldo Oviglio required Riccione to build a bridge over the Torrente Marano, to allow the completion of the coastal road between Rimini and Riccione.[44] With the border agreed, the Royal Decree 1439 was passed on 19 October 1922 to make Riccione a separate comune.[23]
Silvio Lombardini became the first mayor of Riccione following the inaugural municipal elections on 14 October 1923.[8][9][23] By then, Riccione had six hotels and three guesthouses.[9]
The bridge over the Torrente Marano was inaugurated on 24 August 1924.[44][45] A bridge over the Rio Melo followed on 16 August 1925, completing the coastal road between Rimini and Riccione.[45] Using the new bridges, the Rimini–Riccione tramway, the predecessor to the route 11 trolleybus, was extended from Miramare to Riccione on 26 June 1927.[45][46][47][48]
On 15 July 1929, Riccione inaugurated an aqueduct to bring water from Misano Adriatico along an underground pipeline. Prior to its construction, its water was sourced from the springs in the Fontanelle area, which produced non-potable mineralised water, or brought to the area using unhygienic wooden barrels. The aqueduct was inaugurated with the opening of a new seaside fountain at the end of Villa Ceccarini, constructed at the cost of 15,295 lire.[49]
From 1926, Benito Mussolini, Italy's fascist dictator, began to spend summer holidays in Riccione.[50][51][52][53] In July 1934, Rachele Guidi, Mussolini's second wife, purchased a seaside villa for the family's summer holidays.[50][51][52] Mussolini would conduct government business from Riccione during his stays and host notable guests: the family of Austrian chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss were guests of the Mussolinis during his assassination in July 1934,[51][54] and Mussolini learned of Operation Barbarossa during his stay at the villa in June 1941.[54] The villa was guarded by 150 soldiers, reaching 300 during Mussolini's stays.[51] Mussolini would arrive in Riccione aboard a seaplane, and a 75-metre (246-foot) ship would be stationed off Riccione's coast.[9] In 1940, the villa was renovated and its grounds expanded.[52][55][56]
As a result of his association with the area, Riccione's development is cliched as dependent on Mussolini's patronage.[9] Mussolini called Riccione a "land of heroes, most fascist since birth".[57][58] In 1928, the Azienda di Soggiorno was founded to promote tourism.[6] By 1933, Riccione numbered 1,300 villas, 84 establishments including hotels and guesthouses,[8][9][6] and 12 children's summer camps.[8][6] Riccione attracted 30,000 tourists a year during the 1930s,[18] reaching a peak of 41,000 tourists in 1937.[9]
Following Italy's racial laws, seven Jewish families were evicted from Riccione in 1944,[59] most notably the family of Nissim Matatia, who lived within eyesight of Villa Mussolini.[60][61]
In early September 1944, during the Italian campaign, Riccione was largely spared the brunt of military movement along the Adriatic Front: most fighting took place in the surrounding hills.[62] Nevertheless, its beaches had been mined.[63] From the evening of 2 September, the Germans retreated to a defensive line at the Rio Melo, defended by a single tank, allowing forces of the 1st Canadian Infantry Division to enter the city; by 12 September, they were reinforced by the 3rd Greek Mountain Brigade, notorious for their poor behaviour towards locals, who were consequently ordered not to pass underneath the railway.[62] The Hotel Adria, no longer extant, was requisitioned for soldiers engaged in the Battle of Rimini to take four days' leave on the beach.[64] The area between Viale Ceccarini and the Rio Melo remained a no man's land until the surrounding hills had been cleared by 18 September.[62]
114 Greek soldiers who died during the Battle of Rimini were buried in Riccione's Hellenic Military Cemetery (pictured in January 2006).[65][66]
Outside the city, San Lorenzo in Strada was heavily fortified by General Richard Heidrich's 1st Parachute Division, who barricaded themselves in the church with instructions to fight until the end.[62][67] On 3 September, the 1st Parachute Division engaged the Canadians, who had then reached Abyssinia, during their retreat to San Lorenzo. The battle in San Lorenzo, which included sword-fighting in the church, claimed 31 soldiers and 124 wounded or missing, with the Canadians reduced to 18 men before they reorganised on 6 September. A second attack on the night of 12–13 September, supported by the 3rd Greek Battalion and the 20th New Zealand Armoured Regiment, claimed the church after four and a half hours.[67] The church was destroyed.[39][62] On 13–14 September, a further notable engagement took place in the agricultural hamlets of Monaldini and Monticelli, 500 metres (1,600 feet) southwest of San Lorenzo in Strada;[68] the engagement killed almost 100 troops of the 3rd Greek Mountain Brigade.[64] Riccione was liberated on 20 September, a day before Rimini.[39]
Riccione's growth as a tourist destination was assisted by the construction of the A14 tolled highway,[8] which reached Riccione in 1968,[73][74] and Fellini Airport, which ranked among Italy's busiest airports during the 1960s, supported by international tourists visiting Rimini's beaches.[8][75] Riccione was considered more upmarket and conservative than over resorts along the riviera romagnola.[76][77] It was especially popular among German tourists,[78] and frequented by Italian workers and farmers as well as employers and aristocrats.[76]
In 1989, Cocoricò opened in front of the Agolanti Castle on Riccione's outskirts.[79][80] The nightclub, with its distinctive pyramid shape, became an iconic brand and symbol of Riccione's nightlife and youth tourism.[79][81] It gained notoriety for its provocative and transgressive clubbing,[82][83][84] and attracted world-famous disc-jockeys and performers.[85][86][87][88][89]
Riccione sits beside the Adriatic Sea at the southern tip of the Po Valley. It is bordered by the Adriatic Sea to its northeast,[3] with which it has a 6.3-kilometre (3.9-mile) coastline,[90]Rimini to its northwest, Coriano to its southwest, and Misano Adriatico to its southeast.[3] Riccione's municipal area is 17.5 square kilometres (6.8 square miles).[91]
The city is centred on the mouth of the Rio Melo,[3][4] a 16-kilometre (9.9-mile) river that flows northeast from the hills of Montescudo and Monte Colombo, with a tributary on each side: the Rio Pedrolara on its left and the Rio Raibano,[4] also called the Rio Grande,[3] on its right. The river was formerly known as the Maranello; the Maltatesta called its valley Valle dei Meli (Valley of Apples), leading to its present name.[4]
Riccione includes several other streams. The Rio dell Asse forms Riccione's northwestern border with Rimini;[44] the Torrente Marano southeast of it is Riccione's largest river.[4] Past the Rio Melo was the Rio Pedroso,[3] which no longer exists, that followed Viale da Verazzano to flow into the Adriatic at the present-day Piazzale Marinai d'Italia.[3][4] The next stream southeast is the Rio Costa, also known as the Fontanelle.[3][4][13] Finally, the Rio Alberello forms Riccione's boundary with Misano Adriatico.[4]
Riccione's principal hill, to its south, is known as Cavrèt d'Arvura.[21][4] Riccione's maximum elevation is 75 metres (246 feet) above sea level, with a mean elevation of 15.2 metres (50 feet).[91]
Riccione's urban area comprises a number of hamlets, some of which were formerly villages. The northernmost hamlets are Marano, at the mouth of the eponymous river, and Spontricciolo, by the Via Flaminia.[3][13][29] The north bank of the Rio Melo is called Alba by the coast, while inland, San Lorenzo in Strada on the Via Flaminia is Riccione's oldest settlement.[3][15][29] Viale Veneto runs parallel to the Torrente Marano and the Rio Melo between them, providing a discontinuous suburban area between San Lorenzo in Strada and Via Coriano, Riccione's westernmost point at the border with the municipalities of Rimini and Coriano.[3][29]
Southeast of the Rio Melo is Riccione's city centre. The old town is centred inland on Corso Fratelli Cervi, while the new town is centred on Viale Ceccarini, which connects the Via Flaminia to the coast. South of the Via Flaminia is Villaggio Papini, enclosed by the Rio Melo, the state road, and Viale Enrico Berlinguer. The area by Riccione's A14 tolled highway is called Raibano, and includes several industrial estates.[3][29] Further southeast of Riccione's city centre are the districts of Fontanelle (inland) and Abissinia (coastal).[3][29] The Martinelli, a minor stream that ran near the present-day Viale Cesare Battisti,[25] was the boundary between Count Martinelli's subdivision and Abissinia.[4]
Riccione's historic districts were renamed by Rimini's municipal council in 1912. Among the forgotten names are Siberia,[4] which was centred around the present-day Viale Ugo Bassi, between the centre and Abissinia.[92]
As of 2023, Riccione had an estimated population of 34,514,[11] constituting approximately 10% of the Province of Rimini's population.[93] This implies a population density of 1,972 people per square-kilometre.[91][11] In 2022, Riccione was estimated to have 689 European Union (EU) citizens (excluding Italian citizens) and 2,599 non-EU citizens. Its population included 546 nonagenarians and 17 centenarians.[94]
Riccione is a comune, administered by the municipal council. As of 2023, the municipal council numbers the Mayor and twenty-four councillors.[95]
Until 19 October 1922, with the passing of Royal Decree 1439, Riccione was a frazione of the municipality of Rimini.[23] On 16 April 1992, the municipality transferred from the Province of Forlì to the newly-created Province of Rimini.[96]
In November 1926, Riccione was officially designated as a tourist resort, with the power to run its own tourist agency.[97][98] Since then, the city has been one of the principal seaside resorts on the riviera romagnola, known for its wide, sandy beaches. Of its 6.3 kilometres (3.9 miles) of coastline, only 233 metres (255 yards) are prohibited for bathing by the mouths of the Torrente Marano and Rio Melo.[90] In 2020, Riccione numbered 432 hotels, residences, and other accommodation facilities, and 383 restaurants, bars, and chiringuitos, of which 109 are seasonal.[99]
Riccione is particularly popular among young tourists, who are drawn by its nightlife.[12]Cocoricò, one of Italy's most famous nightclubs, opened in 1989.[23] There are several camping sites in Riccione's southwest, on its border with Misano Adriatico.[3][29] Riccione also attracts families for its beaches and amusement parks,[12] including Aquafan [it], a waterpark opened in 1987.[23]
Riccione has industrial zones near Raibano.[3][29] In 2013, Riccione's municipal government approved plans for a new industrial zone next to the airport. The zone includes warehouses and artisanal workhops, such as dry cleaners, carpenters, glassworks, printing plants, and metalworking shops.[100] Among Riccione's notable companies is PhotoSì, a photographic printing company that developed from Riccione's tourism.[101]
The summer touristic season in Riccione includes the annual Notte rosa [it] (Pink Night), a weekend cultural festival held in early July that includes exhibitions, music concerts, and firework displays.[102][103] The festival is held across the riviera romagnola,[103][104] over which it is estimated to attract two million visitors and revenues exceeding €200 million.[103]
Several venues in Riccione are dedicated to art and culture:
Built in 1938 as the first structure on the Adriatic dedicated to the promotion of tourism,[9][105][97] the Palazzo del Turismo hosts conferences, exhibitions, and other events.[105][106] It is the site of the annual Convegno filatelico numismatico (Numismatic-Philatelic Conference), first held in 1950.[107][108][109]
Launched in 2021, Cocoricò's Museo Discocratico (Discocratic Museum, or MUDI) is the first digital museum hosted in an Italian nightclub, with immersive experiences in NFT and three-dimensional art.[115][116][117]
Riccione Theater Award, biennial, last week of June.[118] Riccione TTV - Theater Television Video, biennial, last week of May.[119]
Many of Riccione's residential villas were developed in Liberty style, an Italian variant of Art Nouveau.[6][7] Particularly characteristic of these villas are their turrets, which offer a local panorama.[6] Riccione's urban landscape is heavily influenced Augusto Cicchetti, who designed much of Riccione's seafront and gradens.[14]
Church of San Martino. First recorded in January 1177,[20] located in the area of the present-day Fontanelle,[13] the medieval church was destroyed by an earthquake on Christmas Day 1786.[20][21] The church was rebuilt at its present location on Corso Fratelli Cervi,[17][20][21] and consecrated on 8 November 1789.[20][21] San Martino contains the relics of Blessed Alessio Monaldi, a farmer who has been venerated locally since the late 16th century.[120][121][122] To accommodate Riccione's growing population, a second, modern church also dedicated to St Martin of Tours was consecrated on 10 March 1963,[123][124] less than 280 metres (310 yards) away from the old church as the crow flies.[3]
Church of San Lorenzo in Strada. The church was first recorded in 997 AD,[9][6][20] likely on a site of pre-Christian worship.[20] The original church was destroyed by the 1916 earthquake.[8][17][37][39] The first stone of the new church was laid on 3 August 1919; it was designed by the architect Giuseppe Gualandi, and, despite the opposition of the local socialists, it was completed for Christmas Eve 1922. The church was officially consecrated on 26 August 1923. The belltower was blessed on 6 January 1925. In early September 1944, the church was destroyed again after it was fortified by retreating German forces.[39]
Church of Stella Maris in Fontanelle. The church was built and consecrated in 1963 to the design of architect Luigi Fonti to cater to Fontanelle's growing population; it was expanded in 1987, including the addition of an 18-metre (59-foot) belltower.[125][126] A votive cell, recording the spot where Monaldi was said to have uncovered a water source for thirsty pilgrims, flanks the church.[120][126][127]
Church of Santa Maria Mater Admirabilis, August 2015Church of Santa Maria Mater Admirabilis. Following Riccione's development, Martinelli renovated a stable on his estate into a chapel. In 1908, Rosa Manusardi launched an appeal for a seaside church. Martinelli donated 1,000 lire and the necessary land to its construction. The first stone was laid on 8 August 1909; it was designed by Giuseppe Camperio and executed by Luigi Tonetti. The Piva family donated a copy of the Mater Admirabilis fresco, which became the church's altarpiece and lent it its name. The church was seriously damaged by the 1916 earthquake; the Holy See offered 5,000 lire towards its reconstruction. The presbytery was completed in 1927, following a donation by Countess Chiara Soleri Martinelli, and settled into by the Comboni Missionaries. The church's belltower has three bells.[26]
The Palazzo del Turismo and the Swimmer's Fountain, March 2007Palazzo del Turismo. The first structure on the Adriatic dedicated to the promotion of tourism,[105][97] it was built in 1938,[9] to the design of Gogliardo Ossani,[105][97] imitating Rome's Palazzo delle Esposizioni.[97] It was opened on 28 October 1938 and inaugurated on 28 May 1939.[97] In 1951, Ossani added a floor to its two lateral wings.[97] The building was renovated and expanded at the end of 1970 and in the 1980s.[105][97] The Swimmer's Fountain in front of the building, the work of architect Elio Monesi and sculptor Remo Braschi, was donated by the Milanese Manicone family in memory of their son,[105][136] who was killed in a road accident. The fountain was inaugurated on 15 June 1958.[136] Today, the three-storey structure hosts the municipal government's tourist agency, as well as conferences, exhibitions, and other events.[105][106]
Hotel des Bains. It was inaugurated in 1908,[6][7] and seriously damaged in the 1916 earthquake.[37]
Villa Mussolini. Built in 1892,[55] in 1934, the villa was purchased by Rachele Guidi, second wife of Benito Mussolini, Italy's fascist dictator; the Mussolinis used the villa as a summer holiday home.[50][51][52] In 1940, the villa was renovated and its grounds expanded.[52][55][56] The villa was renovated in 2005, and hosts cultural events and exhibitions.[54][56][112]
Villa Franceschi, which, since 2004,[110] has hosted a gallery dedicated to modern and contemporary art.[6][110][7][111] The villa is characterised by its semi-hexagonal shape,[6][58] with a staircase on its central axis and rooms on the sides.[7] A large terrace extends into the garden.[58] The villa was constructed between 1900 and 1910, and substantially modified after the 1916 earthquakes. Its external concrete decorations are the work of Guerrino Giorgetti. The villa was bought by the Bolognese Franceschi family in 1919, who added its turret, garage, and servant's cottage in the 1920s. The municipal government became the villa's owner in 1953.[110] Before its restoration in 2001, it was at various times a municipal library, secondary school annexe, and employment office.[138][110]
Villa Antolini. The villa was designed by Mario Mirko Vucetich [it] in 1923,[6][7][137] and constructed for Dante and Egle Antolini. It is known as the "villa of the Americans" by local people. In 1968, after Dante's death, the villa was rented and later sold.[7]
Villa Lodi Fè. The villa was built by Decio Monti of Bologna, and is thought to date to the 1900s.[7] It is located within the Pope John Paul II Park,[7][137] and is distinguished by its chalet-style shape,[14][137] accentuated by its archivolted windows.[58]
Villa Martinelli Soleri. The Art Nouveau villa was built between 1878 and 1879;[25] its turret dates to 1877.[6][137] The original villa was almost entirely demolished after the Second World War,[7][58] but its upper-floor terracotta balustrade and Moorish pointed openings are still extant.[7][58]
Pensione Florenza. It dates to the early 1900s.[137]
Piramide, the main room of Cocoricò, July 2019Cocoricò. Opened in 1989 in front of the Agolanti Castle on Riccione's outskirts,[79][80] the nightclub specialises in techno, house, and tech house music. During the 1990s, its name and pyramid shape became an iconic brand and symbol of Riccione's nightlife and youth tourism.[79][81] It gained notoriety for its provocative and transgressive clubbing,[82][83][84] and attracted world-famous disc-jockeys and performers.[85][86][87][88][89] In 2015, DJ Magazine's readers voted Cocoricò sixteenth worldwide in its annual Top 100 Clubs poll,[139][140][141] describing it as "a monumental Mecca of dance music".[140]
Aquafan [it], a waterpark opened in 1987.[23] The park is among the most visited in Italy, with 600,000 visitors annually.[142]
Port of Riccione. The Port of Riccione was built between 1896 and 1901, with a contribution of an interest-free loan of 24,00 lire from Maria Boorman Ceccarini,[28][32][33][143] who also covered the cost of the access road.[28][32][143] It was constructed by the company of Luigi Bartoldi.[143] The port features two parallel piers, with berths for 500 small boats on either side of the Rio Melo.[144] In 1913, the corroded wooden piers were replaced with concrete, and the bed was cleaned in 1933,[145] thanks to Mussolini's intervention.[144] The Saviolina, a fishing launch built in 1926 that was later converted into a tourist pleasure boat, is moored in the port; it has been protected by Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage since 1998.[145]

The Ceccarini kindergarten, September 2010
The Ceccarini kindergarten was inaugurated on 1 November 1891,[28][148] on Corso Fratelli Cervi and next to the Ceccarini Hospital. It was rebuilt after being destroyed by the 1916 earthquakes.[37][38] Until the 1930s, it was the only kindergarten in the city. Its management was ceded to the municipal government in 1982. The kindergarten was renovated in the late 1980s and between 2003 and 2004.[148]
Riccione's civic library began as a circulating library for a mutual aid workers' society.[138] In 1889, it received a 200 lire donation from Ceccarini;[28][32] by 1892, it numbered 764 books. A fixed civic library opened on Viale Corridoni in February 1953, moving to the Villa Franceschi in the 1960s and then to Via Sirtori. In May 1987, the purpose-built library was inaugurated on Viale Lazio. In 2013, it was dedicated to Professor Osvaldo Berni.[138]
Риччионе находится на древнем Ви через Фламинию , бегущий от Рима до Римини. Большая часть римского маршрута является частью север-юг SS16 [ IT ] государственной дороги, за исключением обхода в центре города. [ 3 ] [ 29 ] Кроме того, на протяжении всей страны шоссе A14 проходит вдоль Адриатического моря между Болонья и Таранто . Соединение Риччионе расположено перед пригородом Райбано и подключено к основной периферийной дороге Виале Энрико Берлингюра. [ 3 ] После достижения перекрестка Rimini Sud с севера 13 августа 1966 года, [ 149 ] Шоссе было продлено на юг, чтобы добраться до перекрестка Риччионе 15 мая 1968 года. [ 73 ] Монтефельо В разделе между Римини Суд и Риччионе включается область обслуживания , расположенная в пределах границ Риччионе.

Железнодорожная станция Риччионе ( итальянская станция : FS Riccione ) - это станция на железной дороге Болонья - Анкона . [ 150 ] В 2019 году на станции среднее вступление пассажиров в будние дни составило 3377 в июле и 1831 в ноябре только для региональных и быстрых региональных ( региональных велос ) поездов. [ 151 ]
После открытия железной дороги через Риччионе 17 ноября 1861 года, [ 5 ] Тонини предложил станцию в Риччионе поддержать свои летние лагеря для детей с Scrofula. [ 24 ] После его кампании, с 1 января 1862 года, поезда в Римини экспериментально остановились в Риччионе. [ 24 ] [ 19 ] Тонини гарантировал, что остановка была использована в достаточной степени так, что с 1865 года остановка была сделана постоянной и формализованной на уровне железной дороги с Viale Viola (теперь Viale Maria Ceccarini). [ 9 ] [ 19 ] [ 24 ] [ 34 ] В 1891 году на нынешнем участке была построена постоянная станция в конце Виала Диаса. [ 19 ]
Станция была модернизирована в период с 2016 по 2018 год по цене 8 миллионов евро. Модернизация была частью программы по увеличению скорости поездов, проходящих из Болоньи вдоль Адриатики. [ 153 ] [ 154 ] В рамках работ вход станции, обращенной на море, был восстановлен, а островная платформа между трассами была исключена. Также отремонтировали историческое здание пассажиров и подземный переход, который был оснащен лифтами . [ 153 ] [ 154 ] [ 155 ] Трек на север был перемещен ближе к приморью, и ее смежная платформа была реконструирована и поднята, чтобы обеспечить более легкий доступ к поездам. [ 155 ] Чтобы отпраздновать инаугурацию новой станции 15 июня 2018 года, акционированные туристы, оставшиеся в отелях Риччионе от туристического налога, если они прибыли на поезде. [ 154 ]

[ 29 ] Маршрут, затем электрический трамвай , сначала прибыл в Риччионе 26 июня 1927 года, [ 46 ] [ 47 ] [ 48 ] [ 45 ] Только теперь стало возможным благодаря недавно построенным вагоновым мостам над Торренте Марано и Рио Мело. [ 45 ] [ 171 ] Чтобы финансировать расширение от Miramare, муниципал Риччионе одолжил 300 000 лир от Cassa di Risparmio di Rimini в октябре 1926 года. [ 45 ] Маршрут был преобразован в линию троллейбуса в 1939 году. [ 47 ] [ 171 ] [ 172 ] [ 173 ] Его маршрут в Риччионе был перенастроен несколько раз. Первоначально он прекращался на Viale Ceccarini; [ 46 ] [ 47 ] [ 48 ] [ 45 ] В 1939 году он был сокращен до Piazzale Dei Giardini и вскоре перенастроен, чтобы закончить на стороне, обращенной на горы Piazzale , избегая тем самым троллейбусами, проходящих возле приморской виллы Муссолини и тревожных гостей. [ 173 ] [ 174 ] В 1985 году эта линия была перенаправлена вдоль основной набережной проспекта, а не Viale Dante. [ 174 ] Маршрут был расширен до Piazza Eugenio Curiel в 1994 году, [ 174 ] [ 175 ] и Riccione Terme в 2000 году. [ 176 ]

[ 181 ] [ 182 ] Было утверждено 4,2-километровое (2,6-мильное) северное расширение на Римини Фера, а строительство началось летом 2024 года. [ 183 ] [ 184 ] Ожидается, что третья стадия Metromare станет южным расширением Misano и Cattolica. [ 185 ] [ 186 ] [ 187 ] [ 188 ]
Строительство Метромаре вызвало заметную оппозицию в Риччионе, напрягая взаимосвязь между муниципальным правительством Риччионе и другими государственными учреждениями, участвующими в проекте. [ 189 ] [ 190 ] Возражения особенно касались стопорной бетонной стены вдоль трассы, [ 191 ] [ 192 ] вырубка деревьев, [ 193 ] [ 194 ] [ 195 ] [ 196 ] [ 197 ] [ 198 ] и решение о том, чтобы запустить маршрут временно с использованием мотобусов. [ 189 ] [ 199 ] [ 186 ] Отклоненный альтернативный маршрут в Риччионе вдоль существующих дорог, близких к набережной, был поддержан муниципальным советом, [ 200 ] Городская ассоциация отельщиков, Ассоциация промышленной торговли Римини и президент провинции Confcommercio [ IT ] , ассоциация коммерческих предприятий. [ 192 ] [ 201 ] [ 202 ] В январе 2021 года предварительный руководитель судьи суда Римини обвинил Ренату Тоси, [ 203 ] [ 204 ] Мэр Риччионе с 2014 по 2022 год, [ 205 ] [ 206 ] Для злоупотребления офисом, связанными с постановлениями, которые она выпустила, чтобы препятствовать строительству Метромаре. Подрядчик проекта подал в суд на Tosi за претензии на гражданский ущерб в размере 2,35 млн. Евро. [ 203 ] [ 204 ] Този был оправдан на суде в июле 2022 года. [ 207 ]
