Casteldelci () is a comune (municipality) in the province of Rimini, in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, located about southeast of Bologna and about southwest of Rimini.

== History == On 7 April 1944, the hamlet of Fragheto was the site of the Fragheto massacre. After partisans belonging to the Eighth Garibaldi Brigade ambushed troops approaching the hamlet, fourteen soldiers of the German 356th Infantry Division conducted house-to-house searches and summarily killed civilians. 30 Italian civilians and 15 partisans were killed. Representing 40% of the hamlet's population, many of the victims were elderly people, women, or children. A further seven partisans and one civilian were shot the next day at Ponte Carrattoni, at the confluence of the Senatello and Marecchia.
