The reason is obvious: many singers try to reach the stage of theEurovision Song Contest passing right from here. In particular, by participating in the singing competition A voice for San Marino, the festival organized by San Marino RTV, which will be staged on the evening of February 19 to the Nuova Dogana Theater.
The winner of the singing festival – just as it will happen to our winners at the Sanremo 2022 Festival, Mahmood and Blanco -– will be able to go up on the stage of the‘Eurovisionrepresenting the Republic of San Marino (and therefore also challenging our country).

Why in case instead of San Marino it might as well have been the Vatican. In case ready to do the version clean… ». And the funniest answer to their post comes from a user who signs himself, given the topics covered, “God“.
“So, in the text you talk to me about the apocalypse, which is fine, but as you know St. John wrote it, and for consistency it must have a role, a presence on the stage, let me explain? Here you are, if you do a duet with me @ sangiovann1 I’ll even let you play at the Pope’s house ».
