Abstract

The Emilia Romagna littoral is located in the northeast of Italy and comprises 130 km of low and sandy coast, most of which are strongly urbanized. The Emilia Romagna beaches face the Northern Adriatic Sea, a relatively shallow epi-continental shelf with low tidal amplitude. A general erosive tendency is mainly caused by the reduced sediment transport rates of the rivers and by the increased anthropogenic subsidence. Subsidence, eustatism, and erosion of dunes pose a serious threat for coastal flooding. Cesenatico municipality is included in the province of Forlı`-Cesena. The site is famous for its marina and is a well-known tourist resort with a sandy beach rich in bathing facilities.
