In the outer packaging, one of the most important architectural and at the same time symbolic elements of the Republic of San Marino: the Palazzo Pubblico. It represents the heart of San Marino’s political life, stands on the so-called "Pianello", or Piazza della Libertà, in the place of the Domus Comunis Magna, built probably in the last decades of the fourteenth century and then demolished at the end of the nineteenth. On the upper floor, the Palace has been home to the Great and General Council Hall for centuries, which is accessed by an imposing staircase: in its seats meet the sixty parliamentarians of Titan. On the wall at the back of the hall stands the image of the Holy Founder, surrounded by his people. Peasants, soldiers, learned men, women and boys pay tribute to San Marino while he admonishes them: "Relinquo vos liberos ab utroque homine" (I leave you free from the one and the other man: Emperor and Pope). There are also the Chamber of the State Congress, the Chamber of the Council of XII and the Chamber of Scrutinium. In the second half of the 19th century, the Palace had the appearance of a seventeenth-century building: in 1884, the first stone of the current building was laid, Designed by the Roman architect Francesco Azzurri for the work of local stonemasons directed by the San Marino foremen Giuseppe and Inaco Reffi. The inauguration took place on September 30, 1894 and the speaker of the ceremony was Giosuè Carducci who delivered the famous speech on perpetual freedom. In 1996 the restoration of the Palace was completed, directed by the internationally renowned architect Gae Aulenti, to adapt it to the new requirements of functionality and security.
