On the official YouTube channel of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 appeared the video of “Stripper”, the song that Achille Lauro will lead in the race for San Marino.
In this case, it is the performance carried out during the final of Una voce per San Marino, the competition that saw the artist prevail over Burak Yeter and Alessandro Coli come on Aaron Sibley.
The second San Marino national final
It was the second national final in the history of San Marino at Eurovision. The first was set up in the wake of the much talked about 1in360 mechanism and was won by Jessika and Jenifer Brening with “Who we are“.
The peculiarity was that this took place in Bratislava, paradoxically in a country that hasn’t even participated in Eurovision since 2012, namely Slovakia. Anyway, the Maltese-German duo stopped in the semifinals.
This is the fourth time that an Italian artist represents San Marino. Twice the times of Senhitin 2011 with “Stand by“And in 2021 with”Adrenalin“, In this case together with the American rapper Flo Ridaone that of Michele Perniolain 2015 with “Chain of lights“Together with Anita Simoncini, she is from San Marino tout court. Only “Adrenalina” of these reached the final.
San Marino had other representatives not from their own country: the Turkish Serhat (2016 with “I didn’t know“And 2019 with”Say na na na“) And the US Jimmie Wilson (along with the fourth time of Valentina Monettawith “Spirit of the night“).
For the second consecutive time, therefore, two Italian singers will be on the same Eurovision stage. Instead, there were four years from which there was no clash between songs in Italian, integral or partial.
San Marino all’Eurovision 2022
Achille Lauro will be involved in the second semifinal, scheduled for Thursday 12 May at 21:00 with live coverage on Rai1. This is the evening in which Italy does not have the right to vote, so the Roman singer will not be able to count on the help of his country of origin to seek entry into the last act.
