  1. Giorgio Carbone, otherwise known as Prince Giorgio I, poses in the tiny main square of Seborga, a village on the Italian Riviera in this August 11, 2005 file photo. Carbone died November 25, 2009 at the age of 73 after a long illness. Seborgans believe their independent history dates back to 954 when the counts of nearby Ventimiglia gave the land to Benedectine monks who established a sovereign Cistercian state. When the monks sold Seborga to the King of Savoy and Sardinia in 1729 the deal was not registered, local historians say. Since then, Seborga has been missing from historical records, including the acts of the unification of Italy in 1861 and the formation of the Italian Republic in 1946.
