Coriano, the hills behind Riccione and Rimini

From the hills of Coriano you can see the sea, and the coast at Riccione and Rimini is only a short drive away. The municipality covers a wide area of hillsides planted with vines and olives, and its hamlets, such as Ospedaletto and Cerasolo, count for as much as the main village. This is where Marco Simoncelli, the motorcycle racer after whom the Misano circuit is named, grew up.

Many families who work on the coast choose Coriano for more space, a garden or a detached house, while staying close to the sea and to the services of Rimini. The hamlets vary: some have grown with recent housing estates, others are hill villages with sloping plots and narrow lanes. In all of them you need a car for daily life.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 10,455 residents, up 4.3% since 2011. The average age is 45.7, slightly below the province of Rimini (46.6), and foreign residents make up 7.5%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

On the slopes of the Romagna hills, landslides are a well-known problem, especially on clay soils. For a house in the hills the report measures the gradient at the address and checks the official landslide maps; on the valley floors, along the streams, it checks the flood maps instead.

All 27 municipalities in the province of Rimini are in seismic zone 2, and in Coriano the expected ground acceleration is about 0.184 g. In restored farmhouses and older brick or stone buildings, ask what work was done on the structure, as well as the finishes, and under which permits. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps.
