San Marino gives 12 points to Diodato from Italy
The Sammarinese public has voted and given the micro state's 12 points to Diodato from Italy
The Eurovision 2020 cancellation wasn't something that please the Sammarinese broadcaster – SMRTV – who quickly released a statement disapproving of EBU's decision.
Not happy with the choice but not willing to let Eurovision 2020 go that easily, and just like many other nations, the broadcaster announced an alternative show to allow its public to give the famous douze points, the Eurovision 2020: Una Serata In Musica.
After a week of online voting, through the broadcaster's official website, the Sammarines public gave its maximum points to Diodato from Italy and the song "Fai Rumore".

San Marino in Eurovision Song Contest
San Marino is one of the newest – and smallest Eurovision countries.
They have been participating ten times since their first Eurovision Song Contest in 2008. But not with great succes. In eight out of the ten participations they didn't manage to qualify for the Grand Final. San Marino qualified for the Grand Final two times: In 2014 and 2019. The worst results were in 2017 and 2008, where they came last in their Semi-final.
