The Sanmarinese broadcaster have confirmed that the country's first ever entry for the Eurovision Song Contest will be internally selected on 11th March.
Interest is very high but information is trickling in about San Marino's debut entry in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest. SMTV have received a great number of songs after their open call for songs not only from San Marino and Italy but from all over Europe. Several Swedish composers have submitted entries, as well as artists from Croatia, Russia, Ireland, Romania and Greece, just to name a few. The specially appointed jury will make their decision on 11th March.
So far a few names have been confirmed to have submitted entries. Among them, Jalisse with Tra rose e cielo, Michele Imberti with Toccare il cielo and Massimo Bertacci with Credo. Also, L'Aura, who participated in this year's San Remo festival is hotly tipped to have submitted a song, possibly her festival entry Basta but no confirmation has been received yet. You can watch L'Aura's Basta here.
