Have you heard about San Marino and Monaco for the 1st time in your life because of Formula 1?

I knew for the first time in my life that the small european nation states of San Marino and Monaco exist because I used to watch Formula 1, when I was a child, and Ayrton Senna was driving.
In Monaco, there is the famous circuit on the streets of Monte Carlo. The Grand Prix of San Marino used to take place in the circuit of Imola, a Italian city which is located 75km away from San Marino, but since there is the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, the race in Imola received the name of the small state located near Imola. Formula 1 was my first reference of this two small states.

Lol I live in Northwestern Italy. They are both at 300 km from my home. I was on holiday in San Marino at 5 years old before I even knew what Formula 1 was. Not to mention that I have always been a geography geek. I liked atlases even in kindergarten.

Are you from Genova? Rapallo? Parma? The cities I found in the map which could fit these distances
