About San Marino is…
San Marino is…Us
A tourist-friendly guide written by someone from San Marino, made to help you navigate the country like a local.
Why this guide exists
In 2025 I launched Oldest Republic: a publication created to introduce San Marino, the world's oldest surviving republic, to an international audience.

I started by sharing stories: bits of history, local curiosities and everything that makes this little country unique and worth discovering. The response was great.
But soon I realised something was missing. Visitors didn't just want stories: they needed practical tips on how to actually enjoy San Marino to the fullest.
That's how “San Marino is…” was born: a guide made to help you navigate the country like a local, from the best places to eat to hidden views and unforgettable experiences.
Meet the founder
Born and raised in San Marino, I moved to the United Kingdom when I was 19 to study at university. In the years that followed, I was lucky enough to travel the world quite often.
Every time I met someone new and told them I was from San Marino, the reaction was always the same: surprise, curiosity and a thousand questions. That's when I realised just how unique my home country is, in its history and in the way it quietly preserves its character, culture and independence.
With “San Marino is…” my goal is to create the guide I wish had existed earlier: useful, authentic, and written by someone who actually knows the place. I hope it helps you enjoy your time here as much as I enjoy calling it home.
