History
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.[1] 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, and the boundaries have remained the same ever since.[2] The people of San Marino besieged the castle walls of Montegiardino to wrest it from Malatesta's army. The siege continued for a long time, until it was eventually dismantled under the orders of Federico da Montefeltro. It was only recovered almost two centuries later in 1647 by the nearby church.[3] The coat of arms of Montegiardino consists of a traditional blue colored shield with curved lower border, and a yellow trimontium with three red flowers with stems and two green leaves.[3]
