The story

Liberty Day and Fall of Fascism Anniversary in Citta di San Marino

Observed every twenty-eighth of July, the Anniversary of the Fall of Fascism is a national holiday in San Marino commemorating the 1943 collapse of the Sammarinese Fascist Party's one-party rule, one of the few national holidays anywhere marking the end of a country's own home-grown fascist government.

It is easy to assume that a country as small as San Marino, with a population that today numbers only in the tens of thousands, would have been little more than a bystander to the political convulsions that swept Europe in the twentieth century.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

San Marino's experience with fascism is often overlooked because the country is so small, but the republic had its own Sammarinese Fascist Party, which held one-party power domestically from the 1920s through the early 1940s, running in close parallel with Mussolini's regime in neighboring Italy

02

The mystery stays covered

Its collapse on the twenty-eighth of July 1943 came within days of Mussolini's own fall from power in Rome, tying San Marino's internal political history tightly to the wider collapse of fascism across the peninsula, and giving the republic a rare distinction: a national holiday explicitly commemorating the end of its own fascist government rather than only foreign wartime liberation
