San Marino is one of the smallest states in the world but it has always had a rich
musical tradition. The nation participated in Eurovision for the first time in 2008 and
finally qualified for the final six years later.
Over the years the republic has been represented by both Italian artists and those
from San Marino, and the local artist Valentina Monetta has sung in the contest
four times.
San Marino has not yet won Eurovision but the event is undoubtedly an excellent
opportunity to promote knowledge of its unique cultural heritage and to develop
links with other European countries.
