San Marino, paolo Rondelli is the first gay head of state in the world
BOLOGNA. The Republic of San Marino is, from today, the first state in the world with a head of state belonging to the LGBT community.
Paolo Rondelli, former vice president of Arcigay Rimini and first ambassador of the Republic to the United States, is in fact one of the two new captains regent, heads of state who have no executive powers and who remain in office for six months.

Among the various positions held by Rondelli, a graduate in Historical Communication at the University of Bologna, that of General Manager at the Cultural Institutes of the Republic of San Marino and president of Rotary of San Marino.

For the benefit of those who seek scandal at all costs in the life of public figures I am attaching images of the card. Maybe the news could be of more interest than probably the first head of state in the world belonging to the LGBT + community (only ministries and Prime Ministers until now).
