Fatti Di Rovereta
The ''fatti di Rovereta'' (the Rovereta affair) was a constitutional crisis in San Marino in 1957 in which the Grand and General Council was deliberately rendered inquorate to prevent the scheduled election of Captains-Regent. A provisional government was established in the village of Rovereta, in opposition to the outgoing Captains-Regent whose term had expired. Background Following the end of the fascist government and World War II, the 1945 general elections produced a Communist-Socialist coalition government, making it the only communist republic west of the Iron Curtain. Both the middle and working class supported the socialists and communists out of fear that San Marino would return to being ruled by an oligarchy of local patrician families. However, due to it being majority communist, America boycotted the economy of San Marino and did not give it funds from the Marshall Plan for reconstruction. The American government also put pressure on the Italian government to no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Marche
Marche ( , ) is one of the twenty regions of Italy. In English, the region is sometimes referred to as The Marches ( ). The region is located in the central area of the country, bordered by Emilia-Romagna and the republic of San Marino to the north, Tuscany to the west, Umbria to the southwest, Abruzzo and Lazio to the south and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Except for river valleys and the often very narrow coastal strip, the land is hilly. A railway from Bologna to Brindisi, built in the 19th century, runs along the coast of the entire territory. Inland, the mountainous nature of the region, even today, allows relatively little travel north and south, except by twisting roads over the passes. Urbino, one of the major cities of the region, was the birthplace of Raphael, as well as a major centre of Renaissance history. Toponymy The name of the region derives from the plural of the medieval word '' marca'', meaning "march" or "mark" in the sense of border zone, originall ...
