The sculpture by Stefano Galletti was donated by Countess Otilia Heyroth Wagener from Berlin to the Republic in 1876 as a symbol of freedom.
Carved in white Carrara marble, it represents a warrior with one hand stretched forward, marching proudly towards the observer. The head is a crowned with three towers, standing for the fortified city of San Marino.
The Statue of Liberty is on the San Marino two-cent euro coins.
