The Communist Party (Marxist–Leninist) of San Marino (Italian: Partito Comunista (Marxista-Leninista) di San Marino) was an anti-revisionist, Maoist, communist party in San Marino.

The party was founded in March 1968 as the Marxist–Leninist Movement of San Marino (Italian: Movimento Marxista–Leninista di San Marino), by the dissidents of the San Marinese Communist Party.[1][2] Group was led by Giuseppe Fabbri, who was a parliamentarian of the San Marinese Communist Party before splitting from it.[3]

International relations

Party was fraternal group with the Communist Party of Italy (Marxist–Leninist), and some of their messages-telegrams (congratulatory messages to the 9th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party[4] and China's 1969 National Day,[5] condolences for the deaths of Zhou Enlai[6][7] and Mao Zedong[8][9]) were published in the Peking Review. With the Sino-Albanian split, following its Italian counterpart, party took the side of the Party of Labour of Albania, and participated in the actions to support it, such as the "Internationalist Rally" in Rome on April 17, 1977.[10]
