Cattolica: Guide
Cattolica is a town in Province of Rimini|Rimini province, Italy with 16,023 (2006) inhabitants.
The name of Cattolica has been set to this zone 10 miles East the city of Rimini during a controversy in the age of the Council of Rimini in the 359 d. C. Such controversy was between the bishops faithful of the Ariane heresy assisted by emperor Costanzo II himself, and the Catholic bishops who in this zone found shelter and reaffirmed theirs orthodoxy. Archaeological Evidence (I century b. C. - IV century a. C.), testifies the existence of one economy connected to the transit.
Cattolica place was in fact a pause in the travel for the pilgrims that covered the Bologna-Ancona-Rome way, in particular way for those who went in pilgrimage to the sanctuary of Loreto or Saint Peter in Rome.
In 1500 it counted more than twenty saloons and inns rinomate between people of sea, travellers, and geographers of the age.
So the economy of the hospitality was the first one for the city of Catolica and only from the second half of the 800 the fishing industry entered in the economy of the town.
One of the first estimative ones of the velvet beach of Cattolica was in the 1823 Luciano Bonaparte, brother of the Emperor, than preferred it to the noisy Rimini.
This 'regal' character of Cattolica is still in the motto of the town that is 'The Queen of the Adriatic Sea'
As continuation also the the tourism business with the baths of sea had a great spin from 1861 when the railway axis Bologna-Ancona entered in function and the rich families of the country constructed their summer residences in Cattolica.
At the end of the first World War the tourism had a new life, not more with noble character noble, but characterized from a middle class tourist, and in 30 years' Catholic was already one recognized tourist goal in all Europe.
Many of the villas were transformed in elegant lodge in order to accommodate the masses that in years fifty and sixty counted million presences per year.
From then the star of Cattolica, one of the marine localities more attended of Europe, is still shyning in the tourist panorama of the Adriatic coast in Italy.
