Liberation from Fascism

**Liberation from Fascism in San Marino** The Liberation from Fascism in San Marino is a significant national holiday that commemorates the end of fascist rule and the restoration of freedom and democracy in the Republic of San Marino. This holiday is celebrated on **July 28th**, marking the day in 1943 when the Sammarinese people overthrew the fascist regime that had been in power since the early 1920s. During World War II, San Marino, despite its neutrality, was influenced by the rise of fascism in neighboring Italy. The fascist government in San Marino suppressed political opposition and curtailed civil liberties. However, as the tide of the war turned against the Axis powers, resistance grew within San Marino. On July 28, 1943, the Sammarinese people successfully ousted the fascist government, paving the way for the restoration of democratic institutions. The Liberation from Fascism is a day of pride and reflection for the people of San Marino. It symbolizes their resilience and commitment to freedom, independence, and self-governance. Celebrations typically include public ceremonies, cultural events, and educational activities that honor the sacrifices made during the struggle against fascism. It is a time to remember the importance of democracy and to reaffirm the values of liberty and justice that define the Sammarinese Republic.
