| Additional information |
Emilio Greco (1913–1995) was among the most prominent Italian sculptors of the postwar period, best known for the bronze doors he created for the Orvieto Cathedral — a commission that consumed nearly a decade of his career and generated considerable controversy among Italian critics who found his figurative style too sensual for a sacred setting. San Marino has long used its commemorative silver program to honor Italian cultural figures the peninsula itself rarely celebrates on circulating coinage. Greco's centenary year provided the occasion here.
