I'm 10% into San Marino la storia in miniatura - La storia piccolissima by Pierluigi Taddei, my February prompt for the MobileReads TBR Reduction Challenge at the Storygraph. So far, it's been an interesting read for several reasons. First was discovering courtesy of of the fascinating foreword that the "miniatura" and "piccolissima" in the title refer not just to the book's size but also its scale. It is intended as a small, personal level history. Related to that was discovering from the same foreword that the author is himself Sammarinese, references to "we" "us" "our" throughout. I'm looking forward to learning more about my favourite micro State.
