The &#39;maximum height above sea level&#39; that of 145 meters Monte Gallero. The coastal strip, between the River Conca and Rio Sapling, &#39;wide 3 km Archaeological finds from various eras, preserved at the Museum &quot;of the territory&quot; of Riccione, Misano show that the area was inhabited since the Paleolithic period, especially near the river Conca and Rio Agina, where ease water supply favored the primitive settlements. More recently, findings dating back to the fourth century BC attest to the presence of a settlement of the Gauls in the locality Belvedere. With the construction of the Via Flaminia in 220 BC began the Roman colonization and Misano name seems to derive from one of the many families who moved from Lazio in the Rimini countryside (ager Ariminensis). This would be the &quot;Gens Mesia&quot; perhaps for military merits, he obtained vast lands in our area, the fundus Messius Missian hence the name. It was in fact in the military tradition of Rome reward in this way the war veterans or anyone else had rendered outstanding services to the home and signs of Roman settlement are still evident along the Via del Carro joining the Via Flaminia (Adriatic State today) with the &#39; hinterland. The historical events of Misano, which today is identified with Misano Monte, in the hills, are interwoven with those of Rimini that since 90 BC He had become Latin Cologne law. Our territory assumed some importance when there was built in 997 the church of St. Erasmus, one of the most important of the area. For over two centuries, namely from 1295 to the end of the fifteenth century Misano was under the rule of the Malatesta, lords of Rimini, who erected a castle, of which today remains the tower with access arch that &#39;the symbol of municipal banner. Extinct dynasty Malatesta in Romagna and then also Misano became part of the Papal States, whose jurisdiction lasted until the unification of Italy. In fact such a memorable period was the appointment of the captain of the Castle, which took place in 1511; It is apparent from a decision of the Rimini City Council that five hundred years ago, &quot;the Misano homini, Scazano and de la Corte de Lagina&quot; asked and obtained by the Consuls of that Council to be separated by St. Clement, to which they were subjected , and to have a captain their own. Following Misano lost, for short periods and for financial reasons administrative independence that finally regained in 1827, breaking away from San Giovanni in Marignano and becoming an independent town. Immediately after the unification of Italy changed its name to &quot;Misano in Villa Vittoria&quot; moniker that he lost in 1938 by order of the President of the Council Mussolini, for that of &quot;Misano Adriatico.&quot; &quot;Misano &#39;and will remain an independent municipality, provided that the common agricultural remnants&quot;: with this declaration Mussolini, he decreed the autonomy and the rural vocation. Prophecy was ever more fallacious because from this moment the Misano history is intertwined with that of its tourism development that after lukewarm beginning in the thirties, will fully realizing after the transfer of the town hall (1949) to the area by today Misano Monte Riparian.
