Eurovision Song Contest: 20 Artists from Several Countries Participated in the Preliminary Round in San Marino

Gabry Ponte was chosen as the winner of the competition by a jury chaired by music critic Luca De Gennaro, with artists from San Marino, Italy, Albania, Belgium, Slovenia, Sweden, and Ukraine participating. Italian bard Albano Carrisi received a lifetime achievement award. The international competition was made possible thanks to the unique regulations of San Marino, which allow songs from all over the world and in any language. Gabry Ponte is not the only Italian participating in the Eurovision Song Contest. The songwriter Lucio Corsi (31), runner-up at the Sanremo Song Festival, will perform as Italy's candidate at the ESC with his song "Volevo essere un duro" ("I Wanted to Be a Tough Guy").
