On 18 March, Riccione renews one of its most eagerly awaited rituals: the traditional Fugaracia, which returns again this year in Piazzale San Martino, at sunset, to say goodbye to winter and welcome spring with a large collective bonfire.

The whole community gathers around the fire, including families, friends and onlookers, to experience a moment of conviviality with an authentic flavour, made up of stories, fragrances and gestures handed down from generation to generation. The Fugaracia thus becomes an opportunity to rediscover the area's rural roots, but also to enjoy a warm and informal atmosphere in the heart of Riccione, just a few steps from the sea.

A simple and evocative event, combining popular tradition, sociability and a desire to be together: one more reason to mark the date of 18 March in your diary and let yourself be captivated by the call of the fire in Piazzale San Martino
