Tavullia is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino in the Marche region of Italy, located about 70 kilometres (43Â mi) northwest of Ancona and about 15 kilometres (9Â mi) southwest of Pesaro. Until 13 December 1938, it was known as Tomba di Pesaro.
Tavullia is the home town of nine-time world motorcycle champion Valentino Rossi. His family built a dirt oval racetrack close to the town. The town is considered by some to be part of the historical region of Romagna.
