| Abstract: | On August 1st, 1977, San Marino celebrates the centenary of the issue of its first postage stamp. Up to the 31st July 1877, the stamps of Italy and Sardinia were used, and on the 1st August, a postal convention between Italy and the Republic of San Marino come into force, whereby correspondence from and to San Marino to and from any destination was to be franked appropriately. The world's oldest republic, claiming foundation and unbroken history from the Dalmatian Saint Marinus in the fourth century, San Marino is situated on Mount Titano's three fortified peaks, offering panoramic view in every direction.
