	KFOR: KFOR Chronicle:
		Distinguishing features of the land are the valleys of the Marecchia and Conca rivers; the hills now gentle, now steep and rocky; and the ancient castles, churches and villages hidden deep in the fertile green countryside.
		The Marecchia valley, flanked by harsh rocky hills, still guards traces of one of the earliest Italic civilisations, the Villanovians of Verucchio; the Conca valley is more gentle, although in the south towards Le Marche the countryside is more varied, cleft by bare gullies.
		Both the Marecchia and Conca valleys were part of the Malatesta Seignory, and the Malatestas built fortresses and residences here, where their lands bordered those of the Montefeltro dynasty.

	Rimini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is located on the Adriatic Sea near the coast between the rivers Marecchia (the ancient Ariminus) and Ausa (Aprusa).
		Coast navigation and fishing are traditional industries and, together with Riccione, it is probably the most famous seaside resort on the Adriatic Riviera, among Italians.
		In 268 BC at the mouth of the Ariminus river, in an area that had previously been inhabited by the Etruscans, the Umbrians, the Greeks and the Gauls, the Romans founded the colony of Ariminum, probably from the name of a nearby river, Ariminus (today, Marecchia).

	Valle del Marecchia - Appennino Romagnolo
		Il Fiume Marecchia nasce da Monte Zucca (m 1003) - rilievo che fa parte della catena Alpe della Luna - e confluisce, dopo un percorso di circa 90 Km, in Adriatico, in due rami di cui uno è il porto-canale di Rimini.
		Al di là del fiume, in sponda destra del Marecchia, si eleva l'inconfondibile rupe di Majolo, antico e possente castello distrutto si dice dalla giustizia Divina.
		Fra poco il Marecchia riceverà l'importante affluente di sinistra Senatello, risaliamo il suo corso per l'ultima deviazione e in circa 10 Km raggiungiamo Casteldelci, ultimo lembo della provincia di Pesaro-Urbino, in confine fra le Regioni Marche, Toscana ed Emilia-Romagna.

		However, due to the proximity of the Apennines to the sea, the conformation of the river valleys and the irregular rainfall, their flow is rather short and of a torrential nature, catchment basins are underdeveloped and the rivers are not navigable.
		The Marecchia and Conca debouch in Romagna; the high valley of the Tronto lies in Latium while its lower course forms the Abruzzo administrative boundary.
		Temperature, winds, intensity and distribution of precipitations very considerably throughout the region, depending on the lie of the mountains, exposure to air currents and the marked differences in altitude of the coastal belt and inland mountains and between valley floors and the peaks.

	V: The Capture of Rimini \| NZETC
		The revised plan was for 1 Canadian Division to cross the Marecchia west of Rimini and expand its bridgehead to the line of the Rimini-Bologna railway.
		One venerable bridge, however, was spared, the Ponte d'Augusto, a stone arch that since the time of Tiberius has spanned one of the channels by which the sprawling Marecchia flows to the sea past the western edge of the old city.
		While the Marecchia, the last obstacle before the plain, thus stalled the New Zealand advanced guard, farther upstream infantry of 2 Canadian Brigade made good their crossing.

	The Marecchia River Valley and the Malatesta Fortresses
		Continuing along the Marecchia Valley, we come to the Oasis of Torriana - Montebello, where both the vegetation and animal habitat create what is a protected environment and which boasts Fortresses surrounded by interesting legends.
		In the Fortress of Torriana, Gianciotto Malastesta, the husband who killed Paolo and Francesca, is said to have been murdered; at Montebello, the legend relives of Azzurrina, the young daughter of Ugolinuccio Malatesta, who disappeared mysteriously while she was playing inside the castle.
		Characteristic features of the Marecchia Valley are the large limestone crags on which fortresses and towers were erected to defend against enemy troops.

		Montefeltro is a beautiful, rugged highland area between the upper valleys of the Foglia and Marecchia rivers in the northwest corner of the Marche region, on the border with Tuscany, Umbria and Emilia Romagna.

		It was also crossed by Christian pilgrims making their way from eastern Europe to the Eternal City: from Rimini they would head up the Marecchia valley, then cross Montefeltro country to the Viamaggio Pass through the Apennines before descending the Tiber valley to Rome.
