Liberation Day is a public holiday in the Republic of San Marino, observed on February 5 each year. The holiday commemorates the anniversary of San Marino's independence from Cardinal Giulio Alberoni in 1740.
San Marino is a European microstate and a landlocked country surrounded by Italy, and it is the smallest republic in the world, with a population of about 33,000. San Marino was established in 301 AD, and the country's border has remained unchanged since 1463.
In 1739, Cardinal Giulio Alberoni, the legate of Ravenna, occupied the country. The people of San Marino protested the occupation, and on February 5, 1740, Pope Clement XII restored independence to San Marino.
