Not invading San Marino is the oldest meme.

[@raulmere]

Actually, Italy accidentally did it many times

[@raulmere]

From Italian Wikipedia, translated with DeepL: I bet the list is incomplete. Sometimes Italian police or military forces have mistakenly trespassed into the Republic, which has always made formal protests against the Italian government: March 25th, 2010: a van with two plainclothes soldiers from the Guardia di Finanza of the Gruppo Sportivi Fiamme Gialle, which left from Trentino and headed for Rome, crossed into the Republic and was driven back after inspections by the Gendarmerie to the border of Customs. May 8, 2010: a convoy of five Iveco VM 90 vehicles of the "Serenissima" Lagoon Regiment with about thirty uniformed soldiers leaving from Venice and heading for the military range of Carpegna (PU) was stopped at Fiorina and after the inspections was escorted by two Gendarmerie patrols to the border of Galazzano. May 10, 2010: a Fiat Ducato of the Italian Army with a military and a civilian on board from Caserta crossed the border into the Republic and was stopped for inspections by the Guardia di Rocca and the Gendarmerie, the military says he had to go to the Republic for an inspection. January 26, 2011: A military van with Air Force plates from the section of Bari coming from Rimini with five plainclothes soldiers on board the vehicle visiting for tourist purposes is stopped as soon as it crosses the border at Customs, stopped after the junction for the Atlas Centre by the Guardia di Rocca that guards the border, the military said they did not know the border and did not have the necessary permits to enter the Republic had to go back. February 2, 2011: a Navy car, and a van with civil license plate with two Air Force soldiers on board, two of the Navy, a target departing from Rome and heading north for a mission is stopped in the Republic, the vehicles are stopped at Serravalle and taken back by the Guardia di Rocca at the border of Customs. December 6, 2012: four Italian Army vehicles returning from the shooting range of Carpegna (PU) is stopped in Domagnano by the Guardia di Rocca and accompanied to the border of Customs. In 2010 the then Secretary of State for Foreign and Political Affairs Antonella Mularoni called the trespassing "serious incidents" and said that "the people of the Titan are tired of external harassment".

There is a reason why San Marino is so popular among the Russians: its proximity with Rimini.

Since they land in Rimini, which is only a few kilometers from San Marino, and the small republic is well advertised in all the main hotels and other attractions in Rimini, a lot of Russian tourists end up visiting it.

Luckily this changed after the new laws for the tickets part. - Piadina is NOT San Marino's national dish, it is the most famous dish from Emilia Romagna! If you come to Rimini and tell Piadina is from San Marino they might kill you, i warned you... - San Marino "hosted" a F1 GP at Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola (where Ayrton Senna died) and a MotoGP race at Misano Circuit dedicated to Marco Simoncelli - In the San Marino's territory is held the "RallyLegend" that is an historic car rally with former Group B cars and historic pilots that attracts many people from all around the world.

“The world’s best hiding spot; San Marino.” Vatican City: am i a joke to you?

[@HarryWessex]

Vatican City was never a hiding spot. It was a gift from Italy to the Catholic Church.

[@nicolanobili2113]

@@HarryWessex Well, I wouldn't call it a gift, but rather a smart agreement between Mussolini and the pope in 1929. Both leaders gained a lot from that pact. Unfortunately, Italians did not.

[@HarryWessex]

@@nicolanobili2113 I actually forgot it was that recent. When I wrote my comment, I had it in my mind it was 18th century. Even though I k ow Italy was formed in the 19th. Cant remember what year. I have 1871. But I'm not sure if there Germanys or Germany was 1881. If you ignore the whole 45 Years of E/W

[@nicolanobili2113]

@@HarryWessex The Kingdom of Italy was established in 1861, Rome was only annexed in 1870. San Marino is simply the only microstate in the Italian Peninsula which has remained independent. The Vatican State was established in 1929, because Mussolini needed prestige and legitimation (like all dictators), whereas the Pope needed a territory, however small, so that he could not be subject to any sovereignty and, at least technically, be a head of state. The Vatican also needed money, since for fifty years they had not collected any taxes, and the treaty also specified that a certain payment would be made to the Holy See by the Italian State every year (the law changed in the 1980s, though practically most Italians still finance the Vatican).

Not really, track is literally like 1 hour away from San Marino, only reason it was called San Marino GP was because Italy had to have two races, but rules said one race per country. That's also how we ended with European GP, Valencian GP, Luxembourg GP, Pacific GP and few others.

[@aginestet1]

You know... Until 2017, Davide Gualtieri - a player from San Marino - was the fastest scorer in an international football game. He scored for San Marino against England after 8.3 seconds in November 1993. And it took the English 20 minutes to equalize! And then they thrashed San Marino 7 - 1.

[@aginestet1]

@Master Of Fatality To be honest, I never saw the game so I only know what happened from other sources. But if you control the game (or at least have the ball for most of the time) without being able to score and losing, then you don't really control the game at all! For example, most of Iceland succesful games against bigger nations these last few years were games in which they did not "control" the game. But in San Marino's case, the English did equalize and then set the record straight.

[@aginestet1]

@Master Of Fatality So we agree. Truth be told, That was only my attempt to present that fact in an entertaining way.
