Riccione Perla Verde
Description Description is very brief and it says that the circuit went on promenade from Porto Canale to Piazzale San Martino and back: I don't know if it was as I show on my map or if it was different; moreover I don't know if in previous years a different track layout was used. On April 4th 1971 (after one week delay because of rain) it hosted 28th Circuito Internazionale Perla Verde dell'Adriatico - 2° Trofeo Gulf (28th International Circuit Green Pearl of Adriatic Sea - 2nd Gulf Trophy), a race of Italian Seniores motorbikes championship. During this rain, a tragic accident occurred to Angelo Bergamonti; this meant the end of this street circuit and similar ones in Rimini and Cesenatico

Riccione Perla Verde
Description On March 27th, 1966, it hosted the 1st Riccione Grand Prix, a race valid for the Italian K250 Championship. The article states very generically that the circuit was on the 2 km long seafront promenade of the Perla Verde. I have no more info.
