Why a multimedia museum of San Marino?
Every year San Marino Republic welcomes millions of tourists unaware of its millenary history. Visiting the Titanus Museum means embarking on an emotional journey through the centuries, places and characters who have contributed to conquering and defending the independence and freedom of San Marino.
From prehistoric times to the legend of the Santo Marino
Titanus Museum starts millions of years ago a prehistoric sea covered Mount Titano and all the surrounding territory. With the gradual withdrawal of the waters, men began to populate the slopes of the mountain until, in Roman times, from Dalmatia, an ascetic named Marino arrived there: around him was born the the first tiny village that in the following centuries will become the Republic of San Marino.
The conquest and defense of freedom
After Marino's death, the village expands, fortified with castles and walls , becomes a municipality with its own institutions and laws, and fights hard to obtain and preserve its own autonomy. Over the centuries, the Pope State has tried several times to put an end to this independence, but to no avail: alliances, wars, diplomatic skills have allowed the San Marino citizens to increasingly assume the appearance of free people .
Napoleon, Garibaldi and the two world wars: the Republic defends its independence.
Napoleon I and later Napoleon III were fascinated by the small Republic of San Marino, protecting it and helping to make it known in the world.
Likewise, in the Risorgimento era, Garibaldi and Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of Italy, firmly supported its right to be a sovereign state. Not even the wars and the many problems of the twentieth century have affected its will to remain independent: in 1992, for this reason, it became full member of the United Nations .
