Did you know that the oldest republic in Europe is surrounded by Italy? No, it is not the Vatican City State. It is San Marino, a 24 square mile republic in the northeast of the Italian peninsula.
The Holy Father will be traveling there next June. Technically, he will be traveling “abroad” even though it will be a relatively short trip.
Another interesting thing about San Marino: the diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro crosses international boundaries. Montefeltro is in Italy, San Marino is in, well, San Marino.
