In a study by Stiven Muccioli - Director of Libertas -. packaged for the thesis, shows some surprising similarities in the observation of the characteristics of the population of San Marino and the United States.
This has led to snoop on Stiven contacts that have occurred in the past between the two countries.
Thus emerges the great interest for the small Republic Italic had the founding fathers of the United States of America and of which no trace many considered their work overseas, as it were sacred.
To explain this peculiarity, it is necessary to observe how these two seemingly very different cultures, have come in contact over the centuries.
It is known that one of the greatest boast of San Marino has always been able to boast the title of "world's oldest republic." This peculiarity in the past clearly more taken into account, led many American writers and journalists to tell the historical moments of San Marino.Uno most unique and significant in the history of San Marino was certainly what that occurred at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. It was around this time that the U.S. came into contact with what was the reality of San Marino.
To sanction the sincere involvement of the United States to San Marino was John Adams, second president in American history. He, after a trip to the Republic, promoted the story of its history through some papers published at home.
Another major contribution to this relationship, was undoubtedly given by George Washington Erving, an American diplomat who came to say that come into contact with reality typical San Marino should be the main reason for a trip to Europe by a true American citizen. The Erving, had lengthy discussions with the leaders of San Marino, on how to make political and constitutional concepts such as freedom of the individual and the concept of independence.
