Liberation Day is observed on February 5 in the Republic of San Marino, marking the anniversary of the country's liberation from Alberonian occupation in 1740, as well as the Feast of St. Agata, the patron saint of San Marino. This public holiday celebrates the restoration of San Marino's independence, which was recognized by Pope Clemente XII following protests against Cardinal Giulio Alberoni's aggressive rule. The day is associated with various civic events and festive processions, particularly from the city of Borgo Maggiore to the capital. St. Agatha, a Christian martyr known for her steadfast faith, has been honored on this day since the medieval era, adding a religious significance to the celebrations.
