Nicholas Perpiglia (born September 1993) is a Sammarinese and British business consultant and political activist. He is the founder and former secretary of the political movement Indipendenza Sammarinese.
Biography
Perpiglia was born in San Marino in September 1993. After completing high school, he moved to the United Kingdom, where he attended the University of Sussex.[1]
He began his professional career at the European headquarters of Sony in Weybridge, working as a sales and marketing manager.[2]
Later, he founded several companies, including the consultancy firm Perpi Ltd, registered with the Companies House in the United Kingdom.[3]
Perpiglia later acquired British citizenship.[4]
Political activity
In 2020, he co-founded the movement Indipendenza Sammarinese, created with the aim of promoting the political and economic autonomy of the Republic and safeguarding the independence of its institutions.[5]
At its launch, the movement received a message of support from Nigel Farage, a leading figure in the Brexit campaign, who encouraged the preservation of the small state’s autonomy.[6]
During a subsequent reorganisation, Perpiglia was elected secretary of the movement, replacing the previous leadership.[7] He held this role until 2024, when he announced his withdrawal from political life, later describing the experience as "a youthful mistake" and stating his intention to focus on professional activity abroad.[8]
Controversies
In 2024, Perpiglia was involved, along with another member of the movement, in a legal case concerning political statements critical of the Central Bank of San Marino and one of its former executives. The Tribunal convicted him in the first instance for insulting a public official.[9][10]
The case sparked debate in the local media, as the disputed statements were considered to be matters already reported in the press (‘fatti di stampa’) and therefore legitimate criticism in the context of public interest. Commentators noted that the case was emblematic of the balance between freedom of expression and institutional protection, highlighting broader social tensions in San Marino.[11][12]
