Big names are not always a guarantee for success. Last year San Marino has chosen Achille Lauro with “Stripper” . The famous Italian singer, who has also participated in the Sanremo Festival in the same year could not reach the Grand Final in Turin.

It’s very interesting to see that one of the smallest ESC countries is having one of the most extensive selection process. With 23 casting shows plus five semi-finals and the Grand Final with 22 finalists is enormous.

The show “Una voce per San Marino” will be hosted by the singer Senhit and Jonathan Kashanian. Achille Lauro will be the interval act tonight.

These are the 22 finalists in alphabetic order:

• Alfie Arcuri – “Collide”
