Comments

A crowd of citizens celebrates Labor Day by chanting hymns and unfurling flags in the wind, among which the white and blue flag of the Republic of San Marino stands out. There could not have been a more appropriate conclusion to the coinage which celebrates work as the highest expression of man, under every sky and in every era of its troubled history.
