Unusual and interesting sites to fish or to sunbathe, like
piers and breakwater rocks, which for decades have been necessary
to safeguard the coastline from marine erosion. For lovers
of trips in the open sea or along the coast, then, Motor-boats
sail daily from Misano centre and Portoverde piers. Off-shore
fishing and sailing have their naturally equipped cradle in
the town’s harbour: Portoverde is definitely the best
equipped touristic harbour in the Adriatic; it offers every
kind of service and structure which makes it a first-class
residential complex. The archeological finds that have been
discovered throughout the years prove without a doubt that
Misano is of Roman origin. The name, Misano, according to
the most reliable historical research, derives from one of
the many families that moved from Lazio to the area of Rimini
(ager ariminensis) in the third century B.C. |
| Their
name would have been “Gens Mesia”, and, for their
military merits, they were awarded many acres of land in our
area. For over two centuries, from 1295 to 1528, Misano was
ruled by the Malatesta family, who built a castle there, the
remains of which are now unfortunately limited only to the
entry arch and part of the tower. Once the Malatesta dynasty
came to an end, Romagna, and therefore Misano, were made part
of the Papal State, whose jurisdiction lasted almost uninterruptedly
until the unification of Italy. |
