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 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 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]
