Falcone
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is the national bird of San Marino, a native raptor of the cliffs of Mount Titano celebrated as a symbol of freedom and honored in recent state coin issues. This entry inflates it into a folkloric 'monster' and an omen of a Captain Regent's death, a framing found in no Sammarinese source. The bird is real and emblematic, not a supernatural creature.
