San Marino<\/strong>, small, landlocked<\/a> republic<\/a> situated on the slopes of Mount<\/a> Titano, on the Adriatic<\/a> side of central Italy<\/a> between the Emilia-Romagna<\/a> and Marche<\/a> regions and surrounded on all sides by the republic of Italy. It is the smallest independent state in Europe<\/a> after Vatican City<\/a> and Monaco<\/a> and, until the independence of Nauru<\/a> (1968), the smallest republic in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climate<\/a> is mild and temperate, with maximum temperatures in the high 70s F (about 26 \u00b0C) in summer and the high teens F (about \u22127 \u00b0C) in winter. Annual rainfall ranges between about 22 inches (560 mm) and 32 inches (800 mm). Vegetation is typical of the Mediterranean zone, with variations due to elevation, and includes olive, pine, oak, ash, poplar, fir, and elm, as well as many kinds of grasses and flowers. Besides domestic and farmyard animals, moles, hedgehogs<\/a>, foxes<\/a>, badgers<\/a>, martens<\/a>, weasels<\/a>, and hares are found. Indigenous<\/a> birds and birds of passage are plentiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although traces of human presence from both prehistoric and Roman times exist in the territory, Mount Titano and its slopes are known to have been populated, with certainty, only after the arrival of St. Marinus and his followers. San Marino citizens, or Sammarinesi, make up more than four-fifths of the country\u2019s<\/a> population, with Italians composing most of the remainder. Thousands of Sammarinesi reside abroad, principally in Italy, the United States<\/a>, France<\/a>, and Argentina<\/a>. Nearly nine-tenths of San Marino\u2019s citizens are Roman Catholics<\/a>, though there is no official religion. The official language is Italian. A widely spoken dialect<\/a> has been defined as Celto-Gallic, akin to the Piedmont<\/a> and Lombardy<\/a> dialects<\/a> as well as to that of Romagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because centuries-long quarrying has exhausted Mount Titano\u2019s stone and ended the craft that depended upon it, the territory is now without mineral resources. All electrical power is transferred via electrical grid from Italy, San Marino\u2019s main trading partner. The country\u2019s principal resources are industry, tourism<\/a>, commerce, agriculture, and crafts. Manufactures include electronics<\/a>, paint, cosmetics, ceramics, jewelry, and clothing. Ceramic and wrought-iron articles, as well as modern and reproduction furniture, are among San Marino\u2019s traditional craft products. Fine printing, particularly of postage stamps<\/a>, is a consistent source of revenues. Banking is a vital<\/a> industry. In 2002 San Marino replaced the Italian lira<\/a> with the euro<\/a> as its national currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism is the sector of greatest expansion, and it makes a major contribution to the inhabitants\u2019 income. Alongside traditional excursion tourism, there is convention-type tourism, based on modern hotel facilities, as well as residential tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture, although no longer the principal economic resource in San Marino, remains vital. Wheat, grapes, and barley are the chief crops; dairying and livestock also are important. About three-fourths of the land is given to permanent cultivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borgo Maggiore<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borgo Maggiore, San Marino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capital, San Marino<\/a> city, is set high on the western side of Mount Titano, beneath the fortress crowning one of its summits, and is encircled by triple walls. Borgo Maggiore<\/a>, farther down the slope, was for centuries San Marino\u2019s commercial centre, and Serravalle<\/a>, beneath its castle of the Malatesta family<\/a>, is agricultural and industrial. San Marino is overwhelmingly urban in character, and those three cities are home to nearly two-thirds of San Marino\u2019s population. Most of San Marino\u2019s landscape is agricultural in character, but industrial concerns have intruded on the centuries-old forms of agricultural life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The San Marino constitution, originating from the Statutes of 1600, provides for a parliamentary form of government. The Great and General Council (Parliament) has 60 members, elected every five years by all adult citizens. It has legislative and administrative powers and every six months nominates the two captains regent (capitani reggenti<\/em>), who hold office for that period and may not be elected again until three years have elapsed. The Great and General Council is headed by the captains regent, who are heads of state and of the administration. The Congress of State, a council of ministers, is composed of 10 members, elected by the Great and General Council from among its members, and constitutes<\/a> the central organ of executive power. Each member has charge of a ministerial department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social programs for the citizens of San Marino are extensive. The state attempts to keep unemployment<\/a> in check by seeking to provide employment for those who cannot find work with private concerns. All citizens (who make social security<\/a> contributions) receive free, comprehensive<\/a>, high-quality medical care and assistance in sickness, accident, and old age<\/a>, as well as family allowances. The state aids home ownership through its buildings schemes. Education is free and compulsory up to age 16. The University of San Marino<\/a> was founded in 1985. A public security force of about 50 persons provides national defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A network of roads connects San Marino with the surrounding regions of Italy. Motorcoach services connect San Marino city with Rimini<\/a>, Italy, and, in summer, directly with the Adriatic coast. The main airport serving San Marino is the Federico Fellini<\/a> International Airport in Rimini. There are no railroads, but the capital is reached from Borgo Maggiore by means of a cable railway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Republic of San Marino traces its origin to the early 4th century ce when, according to tradition, St. Marinus and a group of Christians settled there to escape persecution. The Castellum Sancta Marini is mentioned in the Liber Pontificalis<\/em> (\u201cThe Book of the Pontiffs\u201d) in 755; the oldest document in the republican archives<\/a> mentions the abbot of San Marino in 885. By the 12th century San Marino had developed into a commune ruled by its own statutes and consuls. The commune was able to remain independent despite encroachments by neighbouring bishops and lords, largely because of its isolation and its mountain fortresses. Against the attacks of the Malatesta family<\/a>, who ruled the nearby seaport of Rimini, San Marino enjoyed the protection of the rival family of Montefeltro, who ruled Urbino. By the middle of the 15th century, it was a republic ruled by a Grand Council\u201460 men taken from the Arengo, or Assembly of Families. Warding off serious attacks in the 16th century (including an occupation by Cesare Borgia<\/a> in 1503), San Marino survived the Renaissance<\/a> as a relic of the self-governing Italian city-state<\/a>s. Rule by an oligarchy<\/a> and attempts to annex it to the Papal States<\/a> in the 18th century marked the decline of the republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Napoleon<\/a> invaded Italy, he respected the independence of the republic and even offered to extend its territory (1797). The Congress of Vienna<\/a> (1815), at the end of the Napoleonic Wars<\/a>, also recognized its independent status. During the 19th-century movement for Italian unification, San Marino offered asylum to revolutionaries, among them Giuseppe Garibaldi<\/a>. After Italy became a national state, a series of treaties (the first in 1862) confirmed San Marino\u2019s independence. In World War II<\/a>, San Marino remained neutral, but it was the target of a British bombing raid in 1944 and was briefly occupied by both the Germans and the Allies later that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
