Faetano (Romagnol: Faitén) is one of the nine castelli of San Marino. It occupies an area of 7.75 km2 (2.99 sq mi). As of 2023, it had a population of 1,173 inhabitants, and was the third least populated castello of San Marino.
History
[edit | edit source]The territory of San Marino consisted only of Mount Titano until 1463. The nation became part of an alliance against Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, the Lord of Rimini, who was defeated.[3] The Pope Pius II gifted the towns of Fiorentino, Montegiardino, and Serravalle to San Marino as a reward for being part of the alliance. Later, Faetano voluntarily joined the country in 1463, and the boundaries have remained the same ever since.[4][5] However, the original castle and settlement were razed due to fears of reprisal by the locals.[6]
The name of the castelli comes from the beech tree, which is also present in its coat of arms.[5][7] The region developed as a center of pottery production, with the Ceramica Faetano known as a symbol of artisanal excellence. The center of the town square hosts the Church of St. Paul, which was consecrated in 1917. In the town house, a clock is hoisted on a stone bell tower. The clock is the oldest in San Marino and comes from the Parva Domus palace located near the Palazzo Pubblico mentioned in the 14th century.[6][7]
Geography
[edit | edit source]The country of San Marino is divided into nine municipalities (castelli) for administration.[8] [9] It has a land area of 7.75 km2 (2.99 sq mi).[2] It extends from along the Marano valley towards Lake Faetano and Monte Pulito, and ends in Lodola.[7] It borders the Sammarinese castelli of Fiorentino, Montegiardino, Borgo Maggiore, and Domagnano. It also shares borders with the Italian municipalities of Coriano, Montescudo, and Sassofeltrio.[6][7]
Faetano contains four curazie–Cà Chiavello, Calligaria, Corianino, and Monte Pulito.[7][10] The region had a population of 1,188 inhabitants in 2023, which makes it the second smallest subdivision of the country by population after Montegiardino.[1]
