Records of Craft Freemasonry in San Marino go back at least to 1849 when <strong>the</strong> head of State Enrico M.<br />
Belzoppi, a Free Mason, gave hospitality to Giuseppe Garibaldi fleeing from <strong>the</strong> Austrian army.<br />
All Free Masons of in <strong>the</strong> Republic of San Marino were members of Italian <strong>Masonic</strong> Lodges as <strong>the</strong>re<br />
were not enough raised Master Mason Bro<strong>the</strong>rs to form a Lodge in <strong>the</strong> Republic of San Marino.<br />
We members of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Masonic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>Council</strong> of San Marino and <strong>the</strong> first Regular Grand Lodge of San<br />
Marino trace our membership from different Italian Lodges where we were originally initiated, and<br />
today we offer <strong>the</strong> opportunity to see <strong>the</strong> light of <strong>the</strong> Craft to all good citizens in our country.<br />
The founders of <strong>the</strong> Regular Grand Lodge of San Marino are true and dedicated Masons, some of us<br />
have contributed in erecting three Temples with <strong>the</strong> aim of giving men of good will <strong>the</strong> opportunity<br />
and <strong>the</strong> possibility of becoming even better good citizens of our country.<br />
Two members of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Masonic</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>Council</strong> of San Marino have been ministers and three head of State<br />
in <strong>the</strong> past decades.<br />
Our Republic although small, has always been famous for its love for liberty and giving refuge to those<br />
who fought for liberty or were trying to escape <strong>the</strong> horrors of war.<br />

Humanity.<br />
