On this day, according to legend, Saint Marinus arrived at Monte Titano in the north-east of Italy and started to build a small church in what was destined to become the city and state of modern day San Marino. Having left the island of Rab in Croatia, Marinus went to the city of Rimini to work as a stonemason. Not long after, persecuted by the Romans for his Christian sermons, he escaped inland to the nearby Monte Titano. The legend is supported to some extent by historical evidence regarding an early monastic community in San Marino provided by a monk named Eugippus in the 5th or 6th century AD. San Marino claims to be the oldest sovereign state still in existence and the oldest constitutional republic. It is a member of the Council of Europe and uses the euro as its official currency, but it is not part of the European Union. The official language is Italian. Its economy is based on finance, industry, services, retail, and tourism, and it ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world.
