Giorgio Carbone
Giorgio Carbone was a local grower and the self-proclaimed prince of the micronation of Seborga, Italy. He played a pivotal role in the village's quest for independence from Italy, claiming that historical documents proved Seborga was never officially annexed during the Italian unification. In 1963, Carbone declared himself Prince Giorgio I and ruled the tiny principality until his death in 2009, becoming a beloved figure known for his eccentric title, 'His Tremendousness.' His legacy continues to shape the identity of Seborga, which now has its own flag, anthem, and currency.
