ing. Giorgio Rosa

Engineer Giorgio Rosa founded his own independent state - Rose Island - on 1 May 1968

It was a 400-square-meter platform built from concrete, wood and steel just over seven miles (11.6 km) off the Rimini coast, amid the waves of the Adriatic Sea.

The island had its own language, coat of arms, currency, and most importantly - at 550 metres outside territorial waters - it was a free jurisdiction, separate from Italy.

Giorgio Rosa changed the world. A major international law on extra- territorial confines was altered after Giorgio's case, which resulted in expanding the physical boundaries of a government's legal ability to exercise authority.
