The article explores the relationship between the wellknown tourist destination, the Romagna Riviera, and its hinterland. After World War II, while Rimini became a ‘rivierametropolis’ of mass holidays and widespread urbanisation, the Marecchia Valley experienced depopulation and abandonment. A top-down approach (bibliographic and cartographic research and statistical analysis) and in-depth territorial explorations (on-sitesurveys and interviews) reveal ambivalent dynamics between the coast and the hills, marked by simultaneous growth and shrinkage. As an inventory of abandoned heritage shows, material legacies persist in both areas. Buildings, open spaces, and infrastructures emerge as latent resources, fostering alternative transformation scenarios and new interactions.

Keywords: abandoned heritage; loss; regeneration
