HOLIDAYS AND TRADITIONS

The Culture of San Marino

The people of San Marino takes pride on their heritage and roots which can be traced back to Ancient Rome. In fact, their form of government that has 2 heads of state ruling at the same time is a remnant of an old Roman Empire practice.

FOOD AND BEVERAGES

Sammarinese cuisine

As San Marino is a microstate completely landlocked by Italy, Sammarinese cuisine is strongly similar to the Italian cuisine, especially that of the adjoining Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions. However, although partly based on a typical Mediterranean diet, it also draws on a richer eclectic cuisine and has a number of its own unique dishes and products.

SHORT INFORMATION

The Education System in San Marino

San Marino, with a population of only 30,000 and a per capita income of $46,900, providing a basic service like education for free to its citizens would be a natural precedent.
