Longiano

Longiano is a Romagna village that rises between the hills and the sea, close to the Riviera, on the first hills. The Malatesta family, the Seignory that dominated Romagna for three centuries, ruled the town from 1295 to 1463: there is still a majestic trace of their passage, the Malatesta Castle, with its typically mediaeval appearance, which has recently been restored to its former splendour.
