Descrizione:
Overview
This region is well known for its famous
beaches : the Adriatic Coast is a long
stripe of golden sand with, on its
shoulders, thousand of hotels, bars,
discos, shops, and more. The main resort is
Rimini. Not far from Rimini is Ravenna,
declared World Heritage Site by Unesco. For
centuries it was part of the Eastern Roman
Empire, so that the influence of
Constantinople is felt far more than that
of Rome. The results can be seen in the
church of San Vitale, the Baptistry of the
Orthodox, and the tomb of Galla Placidia,
the Basilica of St. Apollinaire (its
mosaics are the last great Byzantine work
).
Very closed to the Adriatic riviera, on the
peak of Mount Titano, is situated the
smallest republic of the world : the
Republic of San Marino, large only 61 kmq.
founded in 301 A.C. Thousands of years of
tradition in an ancient medieval town. In
San Marino the evocative traditions are
based on authentic, documented history
which saw the ancient standard raised, the
sound of the clarions blaring and the
cross-bows taking aim, never attacking, but
ever defending ancient freedoms. In the
countryside is located the castle-topped
rock of San Leo , an ecclesiastical
stronghold as early the 8th century.
