Igea

Igea is a toponym used in Italy, most notably for Igea Marina, a seaside locality on the Adriatic coast in the Emilia-Romagna region. Igea Marina is part of the comune of Bellaria-Igea Marina in the province of Rimini. The area developed as a popular tourist resort in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is known for its beaches, promenade, and leisure facilities that serve visitors from Romagna and beyond.

In addition to Igea Marina, the name Igea appears in the names of smaller localities, streets, and neighborhoods within Italy, and it is also used as a personal name in Italian-speaking contexts. The term is therefore most commonly encountered in reference to the coastal locality associated with Bellaria-Igea Marina but can be found in other local geographic naming as well.

Overall, Igea’s most prominent contemporary reference is to Igea Marina, reflecting its role as a long-standing coastal resort within the Romagna region.
