Domenico Maria Belzoppi

Domenico Maria Belzoppi (1796 - 1864 CE) was Captain Regent of San Marino in 1849 (April–October).[1] He served with Pier Matteo Berti. During his term, Giuseppe Garibaldi came to San Marino after fleeing from Rome.[2] He found safety here. Garibaldi actually met with Belzoppi. Because San Marino offered Garibaldi safety in 1849, it was able to remain independent during Italian unification.
