The Marecchia is a river in eastern Italy. It flows northeast through Montefeltro and Romagna and into the Adriatic Sea near Rimini. At Torello, part of the commune of San Leo, it flows 1 km west of San Marino (Acquaviva), but it does not touch its territory. In ancient times it was known as Ariminus from the Greek Ariminos, Αριμινος (also the ancient name of Rimini city).
