Novafeltria, historically Mercatino Marecchia (Romagnol: Marcadèn d'la Marecia), is a comune in the province of Rimini, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy.

Its position by the Marecchia river, at the meeting point of roads to San Leo, Talamello, and Sant'Agata Feltria, facilitated its function in the local economy.

[3] In the early sixteenth century, the Counts of Segni from Bologna built a villa in Mercatino Marecchia, which is the present-day municipal hall.

[4][5] Sulphur was transported to the station from Perticara along a cableway,[3][6] which measured 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) in length and was built in 1922.

The line also transported gypsum mined in Secchiano,[6] which, along with Ponte Santa Maria Maddalena, had intermediate stops on the railway.
