= Referenda =

On 17 and 18 December 2006, municipalities of the province of Pesaro and Urbino, in the Marche region of Italy, held referenda on whether they wished to transfer to the province of Rimini, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.

It was the first referendum in Italy to be held across different municipalities.

Background
The Marecchia valley divided between four provinces in different regions (Forlì-Cesena and Rimini in Emilia-Romagna, Pesaro and Urbino in the Marche, and Arezzo in Tuscany).

Culturally, the municipalities of the Alta-Marecchia were closely linked to Rimini: during the 1960s, many villages in the hinterlands experienced emigration towards the riviera romagnola as part of Rimini's touristic boom, while the municipalities were better connected by public transport to Rimini rather than Pesaro or Urbino.

On 27 January 2006, the mayors of the seven municipalities published a joint press release, highlighting the administrative fragmentation of the region.

On 27 June 2006, the Central Referendum Office (Ufficio centrale per il referendum) declared the legitimacy of the municipalities' request.

Results
Do you want the territories of the municipalities of Casteldelci, Maiolo, Novafeltria, Pennabili, Sant'Agata Feltria, San Leo, and Talamello to be separated from the Marche region to join and be an integral part of the Emilia-Romagna region?

Aftermath
On 15 August 2009, seven comuni were transferred from the province of Pesaro and Urbino, in the Marche region, to the province of Rimini. The comuni were Casteldelci, Maiolo, Novafeltria, Pennabilli, San Leo, Sant'Agata Feltria and Talamello.

On 17 June 2021, the comuni of Montecopiolo and Sassofeltrio were transferred from the province of Pesaro and Urbino to the province of Rimini.
