Municipality

On October 19, 1922, by Royal Decree No. 1439, is enshrined in the birth of the Municipality of Riccione. 

Silvio Lombardini is the first mayor to lead our city, then, since 1925, Riccione is led by the mayor. During this period the city began to take its first steps as a tourist destination. The birth of the first family-run pensions and other activities related to the summer season. There are also many children from the city, which in the warmer months come to our colonies in order to benefit of the salutary effects of the beach and sea.

During the Second World War, with the passage of the front in September 1944, Riccione suffered serious destruction. After the conflict began the slow and laborious reconstruction.
