A San Marino Family Coming Back From a Picnic


San Marino



San Marino is a very interesting place. With only 61 square kilometres it is the smallest republic in the world. It lives from wheat, grapes, cheese, livestock, postage stamps, tourism, textiles, pottery, chemicals, paints and wine.

San Marino is landlocked and can be found in the centre of Italy. Its border is 34 kilometres long. Its highest mountain is the Monte Titano which is 793 meters high. The River Ausa flows through the country.

The official language of San Marino is Italian, and the head of state is known as the Captains Regent. San Marino was founded in the 4th century by a Christian Saint.
