L'incredibile storia dell'isola delle rose

Original title: L'incredibile storia dell'Isola delle Rose

Recommended3/4 · Good. I would recommend it, with the caveats in the review.
The true story of how an italian man decided to build his own island in international waters and declare it a sovereign nation. A great comedy drama about the absurdity of bureaucracy.

What it's about

In 1968, engineer Giorgio Rosa established the independent state called "The Isle of Roses" off the coast of Rimini, built on a platform outside the territorial waters, with Esperanto as the official language. The Italian authorities did not take it well because the micronation was seen as an expedient to not pay taxes on the revenues obtained thanks to the arrival of numerous tourists and curious people.
