In 1916, two earthquakes of magnitude 5.82 Mw occurred near the border between the regions of Romagna and the Marche in the Kingdom of Italy: at 13:50 CEST on 17 May, and at 09:06 CEST on 16 August.While the earthquakes caused few fatalities, the 17 May earthquake damaged and the 16 August earthquake destroyed many buildings in the coastal settlements of Rimini, Riccione, and Pesaro, and their hinterlands. 615 buildings in Rimini were demolished after the earthquakes, while 80% of Riccione was razed. Among the lost historic buildings were Riccione's medieval Church of San Lorenzo in Strada and its first marine hospice. Some houses also collapsed in the Republic of San Marino. With the 16 August earthquake occurring at the height of the summer touristic season, the 1916 earthquakes considerably hurt the local coastal economies, already depressed by the First World War.The area around Rimini had suffered earthquakes in 1672, 1786, and 1875. Their frequency had mistakenly led people to expect strong earthquakes only once a century. The 1916 earthquakes are the most recent significant earthquakes to have struck Rimini and its environs. Antiseismic building regulations enforced in 1927 were suspended under Fascist Italy to encourage touristic development; they were reinstated in 1984, after much of the coastline had been developed.

Cocoricò (nightclub)
Cocoricò (nightclub)

Cocoricò is a nightclub in Riccione, Province of Rimini, Italy. Open since 1989, it has become one of Italy's largest dance venues. In 2015, the venue was voted 16th on the list of "Top 100 Clubs" by the readers of DJ Mag. The nightclub has a capacity of 2,500 people.In the late 2010s, various disputes with the tax authorities and judicial vicissitudes have led to a crisis in the management company. On June 4, 2019, the court declared inadmissible the request for a settlement with creditors filed by the management of Piramide (owned by Fabrizio De Meis). With the second sentence of 11 June, the bankruptcy court rejects the composition with creditors, sanctioning the bankruptcy of the company and the closure of the disco.Following the new purchase of the place by Enrico Galli and Antonella Bonicalzi it was announced that the disco would reopen its doors on April 26, 2020, with the name of Cocco. The change of name was necessary because the Cocoricò, Titilla and Memorabilia trademarks had been seized by the Rimini court and put up for judicial auction. In the end, due to the new regulations for the prevention of COVID-19, the reopening was postponed until a later date. On July 10 the news appears that the brands were purchased by an entrepreneur who wanted to remain anonymous, but then a video appeared on the official social networks of the club which made one suppose that the new owners of the Piramide company had bought them back. The videos suggest that the disco will keep its original name: Cocoricò. In fact, the video reads: Now I can tell You My name: Cocoricò.The club re-opened as Cocoricò in November 2022 with three rooms: Piramide (techno/tech-house), T Room (hard techno) and Titilla (house)
