Coriano

Coriano is a commune in the Province of Rimini situated on rolling terrain about 102 meters above sea level near the Adriatic coast. The settlement blends farmland, residential neighborhoods, and essential services such as schools and medical facilities in a rural setting.

The area originated as a Roman settlement called Corlianum and later developed defensive fortifications during medieval times. Subsequent centuries brought major conflicts that shaped the landscape and left lasting marks on the community.

The community honors Marco Simoncelli, a local motorcycle racing champion, through buildings that carry his memory. Traditional festivals throughout the year celebrate regional food and agricultural products that reflect the rural heritage of the area.

Regular bus services connect the commune with Rimini and allow easy movement around the region. Visitors will find essential facilities on site, including doctors, pharmacies, and small shops for daily needs.

A war cemetery for Commonwealth soldiers from World War II holds nearly 2000 graves and tells of the intense fighting the region experienced during the war. This place offers a quiet space to reflect on the human cost of armed conflicts.
