Igea Marina. Igea, daughter of Asclepio, god of medicine, is the name that Vittorio Belli, at the beginning of the 1900s, gave to a village planned by him on the sandy dunes between the Uso and the Torre Pedriera. Vittorio Belli (1870-1953) from Rimini, a doctor, descendant of a family of agricultural and trade entrepreneurs, had the idea of a holiday-village set in an ideal position, immersed in the middle of a pinewood which he himself had created by planting thousands of pine-trees. 

A town surrounded by greenery. See and nature. The tree-lined avenues, the parks and the spacious green areas just a short distance from the sea make Bellaria Igea Marina the ideal place for a pleasant and beautiful break. The wide shady avenues with their numerous shops are perfect for both daytime and night time strolls around the town, or alternatively is the 25 hectare Gelso Park in the heart of the town centre, where tall trees such as pines and durmasts grow in amongst thickets in colourful and scented harmony.
 
 
Bellaria Igea Marina is situated on the north part of the Province of Rimini and is one of the most famous seaside resorts of the Adriatic Coast. Synonym of health and well-being, ancient fishing village, situated in a wonderful position between the sea and the hills of the Romagna region, Bellaria Igea Marina has an enviable touristic tradition dating back to the last century. The past revives with the Torre Saracena (Saracen Tower, housing today interesting museums), symbol of the town and ancient bulwark against the raids of the Saracen pirates and with the harbour, a living symbol od the devotion and the hard work of the fishermen. The past and the present meet today on the safe and good equipped beaches, on the smart pedestrian area of the town centre (ideal island for every tourist), in the parks and sport centres, in the events and celebrations organized every year during the summer season.
