Cattolica is by definition the queen of the Romagna coast and represents the southernmost seaside resort on the Adriatic coast of Emilia Romagna, about twenty kilometers from Rimini and ten from Riccione, on the border with the Marche.
Behind Cattolica, still in the Marche region, rises Gradara at about 7 km, with the imposing and well-preserved fortress, indicated as the theater of the tragedy of Paolo and Francesca.
Marche is centrally located on the eastern Italian coast, nestling between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea. The region is characterised by a rugged, mountainous inland and a beach-lined coast, dotted with quaint seaside towns. These variations in the region’s geography are also reflected in its food; seafood is popular, along with rural delicacies such as wild funghi, game, nuts and herbs and the region’s treasured truffles. Coniglio in porchetta, rabbit stuffed with wild fennel is a revered regional speciality, and traditional porchetta made with suckling pig and stuffed into rolls is a popular street food.
