Publisher Description:
The Republic of San Marino traces its origins back to Saint Marinus who established a settlement in AD 301. It has managed to maintain its independence since then in spite of a Papal attempt to annexe it in 1739. San Marino gave refuge to Giuseppe Garibaldi, and after Italian Reunification, San Marino's independence was assured. Its system of government, having two captains regent each serving for six months, and unable to stand again for five years, has ensured stability, although there was a political crisis in 1957 which resulted in the overthrow of the Communist government, the first elected Communist government in Western Europe. San Marino has long been a popular tourist destination, and is well-known around the world for its postage stamps.
