Together with ours Blanco and Mahmood (with which “We are friends, “he said, glossing over the controversy via social media), then, al Pala Alpitour of Turin in May he will be there too, representing the little girl Republic of the Titan.

But it is not certain that we will find him against. Italy is part of the so-called “Big five” – Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, France and Spain – or the five countries that have economically supported theEuropean Broadcasting Union first and who still support it today, and therefore arrives by right in the final.
San Marino, on the other hand, to reach the final will have to pass the semifinals: even the Big Five have a say in deciding who will pass. In particular, Italy and France were granted the right to vote in the first semifinal, to Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain in the second. And since San Marino is found singing in the second semifinalfor the internal rules of the contest Italy will not be able to vote for it.
But if he gets to the final, Lauro will be able to count on the preferences of the Italianswho, on the other hand, will not be able to vote for Mahmood and Blanco, competing for their own nation.
