The First Black Man to Stand in the San Marino Parliament Tower

Benvenuto a San Marino Ah yes, the Most Serene Republic of San Marino. This tiny country is situated completely within Italy one of only three countries in the world to be completely surrounded by another country and its also one of the worlds oldest republics. We hung out with local guide Leonardo, who taught us about the countrys patron saint (Saint Marinus) who founded San Marino all the way back in 301 A. D. After a key wardrobe change, I had the chance to go up in the parliament tower and stand on the balcony, something most tourists arent allowed to do. My guess is that I might be the first black man up there. Representation We also explored the Guaita Tower, constructed back in the 13th century. Thank you San Marino We enjoyed la dolce vita here.
