It is at some 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) from the sea, the frazione of San Mauro Mare facing it.

The comune was called San Mauro di Romagna until 1932, when its name was changed in honor of the poet Giovanni Pascoli, who was born here. Famous Italian shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti was also born there.
