History

Between 1921 and 1960, Talamello was served by the Rimini–Novafeltria railway.^[3][4] Following its closure, much of the railway was incorporated into the SP258 [it] provincial road.^[5][6] The railway station is still extant in Talamello.^[6]

After the referendum of 17 and 18 December 2006, Talamello was detached from the province of Pesaro and Urbino (Marche) to join Emilia-Romagna and the province of Rimini on 15 August 2009.^[7][8]

Notable people

• Amintore Galli (1845–1919), music publisher, academic, and composer,^[9][10] has his birthplace disputed between Perticara [it] and Talamello:^[11][12] Galli's birth deed records that he was baptised in Talamello – Perticara's church did not have a baptismal font – but his parents are recorded as living in Perticara.^[11]
