Although I had been to San Marino nearly twenty years before I didn’t bag the country’s high point. On our return visit in February 2020 Timea and I made a point of finding it. We were on a driving tour of the Po Valley right in the week that Covid-19 quickly spread through Northern Italy. We continued our tour while cities emptied out and museums and other attractions shut their doors. It was still possible to enter the city walls of San Marino but with not many places to go inside there was plenty of time to walk around the old city walls. The summit of Monte Titano is on the city wall walk on the south-eastern side of the old town. Definitely worth the trip for the views across the whole of the small country and a lot of Italy too.
