Geographical notes
Novafeltria is located on the SS 258 Marecchiese in the center of the upper Valmarecchia, the basin of the Marecchia river which flows into the Adriatic Sea at Rimini. It owes its importance to its strategic position in the center of the valley between the regions Marche, Tuscany ed Emilia Romagna. The municipal territory also includes an exclave, identifiable in the hamlets of Secchiano and Uffogliano, between the municipalities of Talamello, San Leo, Torriana is Threshold to the Rubicon.
Background
The municipality of Novafeltria, named until 1941 Marecchia market, was established in 1907 from the union of hamlets detached from the municipality of Talamello.
In the year 950 A.D. the first nucleus is traced back, with the church of San Pietro in cult and the oratory of Santa Marina. Chosen as home by the Segni Counts of Bologna, which in the first half of the seventeenth century built a sumptuous villa, now a municipal building, Novafeltria became an agricultural and commercial center, the scene of major fairs, especially in August.
Today the town is the center of convergence of all the economic activities of the Valmarecchia.
In united Italy the municipality of Novafeltria belonged to the Marche (province of Pesaro is Urbino) until 15 August 2009, when it was seconded together with six other municipalities of Alta Valmarecchia in implementation of the outcome of a referendum held on 17 and 18 December 2006 to be aggregated to theEmilia Romagna and the province of Rimini.
