After weeks of closed-door auditions and taping, the first Semifinal for Una Voce per San Marino has aired. Twenty-six acts performed at the Teatro Nuovo in Dogana, San Marino to compete for four guaranteed spots in the Grand Final on Saturday. Four more artists would get a second change in the Repêchage round, while the remaining participants would be eliminated from the competition. To correct a post from an absolutely wrong and ridiculous writer, two Sammarinese acts have automatically qualified to the Grand Final. The running order was generally in alphabetical order, with some slight alterations.

After a final ad break, the qualifiers were announced! The qualifiers were based on the jury’s votes. The four acts that qualified directly to the final were Australia’s Alfie Arcuri, and three participants from Italy, Deborah Iurato, Deshedus, and E.E.F.!
After the qualifiers announcement, it’s time to announce who will get a second chance in the Repêchage round. Those four participants were Italy’s Camilla, Camille Cabaltera, Daudia, and Edoardo Brogi. So long to the other 18 semifinals, better luck next year!
Throughout this week, there will be more Semifinals as we narrow down the huge field of contestants. From 106 participants down to 88, tune in tomorrow to see who makes the cut and who gets turned into bologna. Ciao!
