They might be one of the smallest nations in Eurovision, but they’ve had one of the biggest selection contests of the season. And now, San Marino Song Contest 2025 has come to a conclusion.
The grand final saw 20 acts competing for the opportunity to wave the Sammarinese flag in May. Ultimately, it was Italian DJ Gabry Ponte who took the trophy, with the banger “Tutta L’Italia.”
Ponte originally created the anthem to be the official theme song of Italy’s Festival di Sanremo 2025.

What are your thoughts about San Marino Song Contest 2025? Does Gabry Ponte have a good chance at Eurovision? Let us know in the comments.
Tutta l’italia would probably be the bottom of the top or top of the bottom. I think it sounds great. I understand everyone opinions about the staging but maybe Euro could fix that and pay a bit less attention to Gabry. Then it would go a bit higher
To all those criticizing, we alread had a DJ on stage with another one singing. LUM!X feat. Pia Maria in Turin 2022.
That’s not exactly a good thing. Their staging was also horrible
And it still didn’t qualify to the final.
I know the close connection between San Marino and Italy, but still… I don’t know how I would feel if my country sent a song glorifying another country in an international contest…
A country sending a song to mock another country is good? Like Espresso Macchiato.
On what world I said that? I did not even remotely mention that song or my feelings towards it being right or wrong.
You wrote it was strange for a country to send a song glorifying another one. But here we have a song mocking another country. I think it is worse, isn’t it?
Actually if France for example sent a song saying Viva Italia you can be sure there will be a terrible terrible response. Just San Marino is to small to care maybe. You can mock a country and that’s bad. I am not going there. You send an representative of your country glorifying another one, it can be interpreted as many many things, where even leaves space to interpret the message of the sovranity of that country. Let’s have Serbia sending sth like Viva Albanai and see world war 3. I hope I made my point clear
Probably you don’t understand the closeness of San Marino and Italy. It’s an enclave in the italian territory. We have thousands of years of vicinity and economical, political relations. What the hell do you mean with that. You are comparing apple with oranges. Before writing study a little bit the history.
I understand a French would be estranged if France would send the song “Tutta l’Italia” but here we are speaking of two very close countries. And one doesn’t have a long and important musical scene or background. But in San Marino they are used to listen everyday to Italian music, italian radios overlap the border. So there is no problem. That’s why I don’t understand your comment.
This guy really scares me.
I agree
The focus should be more on the singers and staging than Gabry jumping around miming. If they do that then they have a decent shot at qualifying.
the song is awesome, very cool and fun!
But the staging needs to be scrapped. All the camera shots to Gabry jumping around means NQ. it happened before; Darude, Poland 2018 and Austria 2022.
Please someone fix their staging. Add more dancers playing with Italy’s stereotypes. Make it fun! Gabry doesn’t have to be on stage.
For the italian stereotypes there is Espresso Macchiato already.
What a mess
I’m sorry but what the hell was that?
Lazy and insipid.
EBU would also like to have a word with everyone involved. Thazts once they’re done sorting all the c*** business.
Valentina please come back. Puhleeze!
Quite a catchy song. But that staging and performance..
Everything is focused on the DJ – who does nothing. Very little attention is paid to the men who are actually singing the song or the musicians playing it (or miming playing). Makes the whole thing feel so completely insincere.
It is how DJs perform unless it is a featuring with a famous singer
He looks like he’s doing the “clean the kitchen bop”.
What a lovely «tutta l’italia» song is!
Winner. ESC 2026 at San Marino
Can’t wait to have ESC in Valentina’s backyard next year 😉
Great pick by San Marino! But the staging needs a rethink, this aint it.
Only he is not really a singer on stage , but a dj… I thought you have to sing not hear a background track with his voice and sing with it
2025 is producing new and fantastical realities…imaging a world where San Marino is in my top 10 but Italy is not…well it’s here and now. Great choice for San Marino but let’s be real DJs at ESC do not have a great track record and are presentationally challenged. This needs a massive glow-up for Basel and fire the ‘vocalist’ who cannot sing the song…was he masked out of shame? This song has absolutely massive potential…if done right this could win the televote… so please don’t waste the opportunity to go big with the fun factor (and don’t forget the vocals).
Great song, it’s just what this year’s contest needed as there aren’t many good ones this year
Good Choice, finally a country without a televoting and a fair and thoughful decision by the judges.
Another joke entry. We are definitively in a new joke era of Eurovision
How is this a joke entry!
A great entry and guaranteed the 12 from Italia!
My lovely tutta l’italia is an ultimate hit of Esc 2025!!!
This song is already a legend and an icon!
This has to be the worst eurovision edition since 2011
It’s better than 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, majority of 2000s years and 2022.
Better than 2016 are you mad??
Without a doubt. There have been a couple of good entries in the last batch to come out. But, to be honest, I don’t feel the need to go out of my way to listen to any song this year. Even the ones I like don’t have me like that.
was my second favourite, so i am happy it won
Luisa deserved more than that last place
San Marino 6/12
Finally, San Marino is sending a competitive song!
Oh no
Did I hear the word Kanti??? BANNED
Finally, San Marino has done something they should have done for ages. Sending songs from Sanremo. Watch this getting over 100 points from televote in May.
Oh damn! This can be the dark horse of all competition, Just need to improve staging. Very happy for San Marino!
Never thought I’d live long enough to say that I like San Marino’s entry more than Italy’s
Same.
you have a very bad taste to not understand the difference between the two songs. Typical of the average eurovision fan
Very few understand musical quality, the composition, the fact one can play 4 instruments and can write his own songs, the lyrics contents. The only thing they want is a bop to dumbly shake their heads and move their booties. Then you understand why elections go in the way they go sometimes. The worse politicians are elected. Nobody has critical sense anymore and don’t even understand a written text. Putin has already won
Wasn’t this song also theme music of Sanremo 2025? 🙂
The theme music of Sanremo 2025 is way better than the winner song of Sanremo 2025 and 2nd placed song 🙂
Even San Marino TV understood the logic of which songs are liked at Eurovision but RAI couldn’t understand it and sending Lucio Corsi
If you have zero taste in music it is your damn problem. You have an 8 y.o. child taste.
Hi Vincenzo 🙂 Even if Italy’s entry a nice song, it has zero charisma and zero energy unfortunately 🙁 That’s why many listeners find the song dated.
Salvador Sobral had charisma? Here you are confusing personal taste with quality. The difference is if you are used to listen a song to move your booty or to move your soul. I prefer the second.
Uh oh, elitist/angry Italian detected. Go eat some spaghetti, it’ll make you feel better.
I go eat whatever the F I want. And surely I will eat better that anything you eat in your country. Keep cool. Keep envious.
Lucio’s song is a little gem. Tutta l’Italia is a great banger. They’re not on the same planet.
Of course. Bur here someone continues to shade Lucio’s song saying it is boring. If someone is a donkey he cannot become a racing horse in one day. You just stay with the other donkeys.
Why RAI didn’t choose this song which was also theme of Sanremo 2025? What a mistake.
It is funny and sad that this song was way better than Italy’s entry this year and also better than almost all Sanremo 2025 songs.
I would vote anytime for a song like Lucio’s Corsi but never for a song like Tutta l’Italia. Tutta l’italia doesn’t move me, Lucio Corsi song (and many of his previous ones), does. But the 90% of the Eurovision audience (better, mostly here on the poisoned comment section of wiwibloggs) are brainless clones who only appreciate absong when it is stupid, talentless and repetitive. Probably they have never listened to any classical music when they were young (or even later) so they can understand a little bit quality and what quality is made of.
The first year that San Marino has better song than Italy’s entry 🙂
Because their national selection has more diversity; this song can do better than Italy’s boring song if it can reach to grand final
the song stands out for this year’s low standards but its stage presentation is horrible!
Could be San Marino’s best rsult, ever! And, deserved!
Forget about Florida, here comes tutta l’italia!
It’s Claudio Cecchetto-ish. We like that.
First time since 2021 that San Marino have selected a song i like. Senhit was robbed of a better placing that year but this semi final 2025 is going to be interesting. With Estonia and Italy voting and San Marino joining Iceland with a similar sea shanty style bouncy song this is looking very interesting. All good from me
Same, this is a fusion I can get behind, even if some of the lyrics are dogy, a bit to cliché like the Netherlands’.
Who would have thought… well done San Marino!
Finally, something good, welcome back to the final San Marino.
Luvs it
Greatttt song! Change the entire performance San Marino and you have my vote:)
Does the titled main performer actually do ANYTHING live here? Will this be a first?
This is breach of EBU rules to use name of another country in the lyrics. How come that SM organisers missed that? They won’t have time to change it.
DQ, please
Tutta l’Europa?
I don’t know if that’s actually a thing. Montenegro 2012 mentioned Azerbaijian, as I recall
Joost said “Europe, let’s come together!”
Italia can be also the peninsula, right?
Liam Riley’s Somewhere in Europe
Scooch – Flying the Flag (For You)
Plus many songs for Amsterdam, Monaco, Corsica, not to mention songs naming people…where will this madness end???
Could ask the Kants I guess.
No it’s not
If u can sing in english for Sweden, spanish for Romania or italian for Estonia why they can’t use the name of other country?
What are you talking about? Don’t make up your own rules.
Last year “Europapa” mentioned several countries: Poland, Germany, Italy, France…
Celine Carzo sang about Singapore in 1990, Cocktail Chic mentioned England in 1986 – that’s 2 countries I can think of off the top of my head : I’m sure there’s more. Maybe this is a new rule?
need to ask the Kants to clarify
You should look up the lyrics of Irelande douze pointe, they mention quite a number of other countries. Luxembourg 1981 even mentions one in the title. Next time get your facts together before wasting everyone’s time.
And don’t forget the swiss… cheese
I’m guessing there is a lot of total Kants out there commenting.
I actually like San Marino’s entry more than Italy’s entry. First time.
I’m sorry but this whole performance ist not working for me, the lip-syncing looks horrible and the dancers are irritating
They should work one it, for sure.
I’m crying. This is fantastic! San Marino are now my WINNER!! Huge televoting potential! I know San Marino can do this!
Congratulations Gabry Ponte. The dance music and DJ legend is back again (after having produced the ESC Austria 2022 entry) . “Tutta L’Italia” is totally infectious and it’s one of my favourite tracks of 2025 so far. So much fun. Ba ba da ba ba ba, hey!
Prolly my top 5/6!
It’s so good to wake up this rainy morning to have a good news from Sweden and San Marino selections. Congratulations, greetings from the Philippines.
Then there’s Portugal.
San Marino and Estonia have got better “Italian songs” than Italy itself, what a plot twist.
Blame Olly
Estonia is a non-song actually. It’s a joke.
Welcome back to the final San Marino. I’ve loved Tutta D’Italia since first listen, my new no.2 behind Sweden
Wtf…Taoma 19th????
La giuria di San Marino ha finalmente imparato dagli errori passati.
San Marino jury finally learned from the previous mistakes.
TUTTA L’EUROPA TUTTA L’EUROPA TUTTA L’EUROPA HEY!
well if tommy cash thinks he can get the 12 pts from italy, i have bad news for him
Was Gabry involved with Eiffel 65s San Marino attempt, I can’t even remember.
He wasn’t! He had long split from them by that point. Perhaps he was the great mind behind their success given how utterly abysmal Movie Star was.
Thanks, they must be envious tonight!
I think he IS because he wrote a lot of their music potentially?
If I remember correctly after watching an Eiffel65 documentary a while ago, they didn’t split on good terms. I think it was about who could take credit for the Blue melody.
Thank you! Based on their works apart, it seems Gabry.
Here’s the documentary: https://youtu.be/epnsRRPtoeU?si=Gz5Xdj76B6FCCH1t
I rewatched it a bit and it seems Maury created the famous melody, Jeffrey (the singer) wrote the lyrics and Gabry enhanced it production-wise (although Maury doesn’t seem to agree and won’t credit him for it, hence the bad break up).
