Rimini is located at the southernmost end of the Po Plain, in Emilia-Romagna region. The geomorphology of the site mainly depends on the actions of the Marecchia River, coupled with marine processes in Holocene times. By creating a geomorphological map of the area, we highlight the factors that influenced the historical evolution of the town, relating them to anthropic features, with acmes in natural changes probably matching periods of climate deterioration. Many clues suggest that the Marecchia river pattern changed frequently and drastically during the climate deterioration of the Early Middle Ages, when the river’s name changed from Ariminus to Maricula (‘little sea’). The river frequently aggraded and overflowed during the climate deterioration of the Little Ice Age and until the early twentieth century. The urban geomorphological map, implemented according to the official ISPRA cartography criteria, has enabled us to highlight valuable elements for reconstructing the evolution of the town, that are now almost completely hidden by urbanisation.

里米尼（Rimini）位于艾米利亚—罗马涅（Emilia-Romagna）地区大平原（Po Plain）的最南端。该地点的地貌主要取决于马里基亚河的活动，以及全新世时期的海洋过程。通过创建该地区的地貌图，我们突出显示了影响该镇历史演变的因素，并将其与人类特征相关联，自然变化的顶峰可能与气候恶化的时期相匹配。许多线索表明，在中世纪早期的气候恶化期间，马雷基亚河的河型频繁而剧烈地变化，当时该河的名称从阿里米努斯改为马里库拉（“小海”）。'）。在小冰河时期的气候恶化期间，直到20世纪初，这条河经常发生积水和溢流。根据ISPRA的官方制图标准实施的城市地貌图，使我们能够突出显示用于重建城镇演变的宝贵元素，而这些元素现在几乎已完全被城市化隐藏。
