I reiterate the various opinions that the path on the Cattolica del Conca side should be restored and made functional like the other stretch of Portoverde.

Fiorenzuola di Focara is a medieval village located 180 meters above sea level, overlooking the sea. The place is known for Dante's quote in the XXVIII canto of the Inferno, linked to the strong winds that hit these cliffs. Through the alleys, you reach panoramic points with views of the Adriatic Sea and the Romagna coast. A distinctive feature is the steep path that descends directly to the wild beach below. The village preserves the remains of ancient walls and represents a fundamental stop on the route between Pesaro and Cattolica. There are also restaurants and souvenir shops.
