CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From Sant'Agata Feltria it runs 318 km to Sant'Agata Feltria; allow about 6 h 11 of riding. On the way it passes San Marino Historic Centre and Mount Titan, Historic Centre of Urbino, Teatro Gentile da Fabriano and back through Historic Centre of Urbino. It crosses from Italy into San Marino - carry ID and check the toll rules. It was put together for the scenery rather than the shortest line.
Sant'Agata Feltria is a small hill town in the upper Marecchia valley, with a castle on a rock, steep streets and one of the oldest wooden theatres in Italy. The Teatro Angelo Mariani dates from the early seventeenth century and has been rebuilt and restored over the centuries, with tiers of wooden boxes painted in soft colours around a small stage. It is named after Angelo Mariani, a nineteenth-century conductor who was a close collaborator of Verdi. The theatre is intimate, seating a few hundred at most, and it still hosts concerts and plays.

Teatro Angelo Mariani is where the day begins. Next is San Marino Historic Centre and Mount Titan.
San Marino is a whole country balanced on the ridge of a single mountain, and you feel it the moment the road starts to climb out of the coastal plain. Monte Titano rises steeply from the hills behind Rimini, a long limestone crest with sheer cliffs on its eastern side, and the old town of San Marino clings to the top with three towers strung along the ridge like stitches. The first, Guaita, is the oldest and the most photographed; the second, Cesta, sits on the highest point; the third, Montale, is a slender lookout you can only see from outside.

San Marino Historic Centre and Mount Titan comes up 44 km in. Next is Historic Centre of Urbino.
Urbino is a whole hill turned into an idea. In the fifteenth century Federico da Montefeltro, a professional soldier who earned a fortune leading other people's armies, used it to build one of the most refined courts in Renaissance Italy, and the town that grew around his palace is still almost entirely brick and stone of that age. It was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1998, and it remains a lively university town rather than a museum.

87 km in you reach Historic Centre of Urbino. Next is Teatro Gentile da Fabriano.
Paper made Fabriano. Since at least the thirteenth century, craftsmen in this inland town of the Marche have made paper, and they are credited with key innovations: the use of animal gelatine to size the sheets and, most famously, the watermark. Fabriano paper is still made here today, and the Museo della Carta e della Filigrana, in a former monastery, shows the old techniques with working demonstrations. Your banknotes may well have been printed on paper from this town.
