The mammoth San Marinese selection has reached its “semi-finals” stage, with the second of eight shows being broadcast yesterday night. One song has qualified directly to the final, with three others going to the second-chance “repêchage” semi-final.
Four entries to the next round
Thirty-six (36) entries from ten different countries performed in this second show, with a jury of three members selecting the top four songs to get to the next stage.
The song that came first will go directly to the final (which is due to be host on March 8th), while the next three will go to a repêchage, second-chance semifinal.
The top four acts were (along with their nationalities):
- 🇸🇪 CuRLi – “Juliet” (Finalist)
- 🇵🇱 Aniel – “777” (second chance)
- 🇫🇮 Astrid Nicole – “Dancing without my shadow” (second chance)
- 🇮🇹 Tadeni – “Quicksand” (second chance)
Only one Italian act made it through the next round, with the top 3 being from three different countries. Last year, the Spanish band Megara won the selection to represent San Marino at Eurovision, and was the first San Marinese act since 2019 not to come from Italy.
A mammoth selection process
Una Voce per San Marino 2025 will have six “selection” semi-finals, a special semi-final only open to San Marinese citizens, and a repêchage semi-final, before finally getting to its final on March 8th.
