A traveler recalls a dusk arrival in the Free Republic of San Marino. The semiannual Captains Regent ceremony, grand uniforms, and 60 member band frame a government led by 31 Communists and 29 Christian Democrats. The new regime shuts the gambling casino and relies on postcards and stamps for revenue. The hotel once housed a Borghese palace, now a government rumor of paradise with pinkos infiltrating.
Peter Edson reports from San Marino that a vacation in northern Italy led to an unexpected political scene. The author notes San Marino as the world’s oldest republic with a Communist government and mentions dinner music featuring Frank Sinatra records. The piece blends travel notes with a dawning awareness of political realities in a tiny enclave.
