San Marino at Eurovision 2025: Gabry Ponte won the “San Marino Song Contest 2025” and will perform “Tutta L’Italia” at Eurovision 2025. Listen to the song.
“Tutta L’Italia” (translated as: “All of Italy”) is the song that Gabry Ponte will perform to represent San Marino at Eurovision 2025, which will take place in Basel, Switzerland. He will perform his song for the first time in the second part of the first semifinal on May 13. The song was written by the artist himself. The song is performed in Italian. Ponte represented Austria at Eurovision 2022 as a producer and songwriter for the song “Halo,” performed by LUM!X feat. Pia Maria.
Gabry took the stage of “San Marino Song Contest 2025” wearing black clothes with a white coat resembling a doctor’s gown, accompanied by his music production table. Two masked singers stood beside him, a drummer playing a tambourine, and two dancers in long black and white dresses with long braids. Although he did not sing, he lip-synced the song’s lyrics and danced alongside the dancers throughout the performance. The atmosphere during the song was very energetic and joyful, with the camera mostly focusing on the producer himself rather than the backup singers. The song deals with Italian lifestyle and culture, while also referencing the sense of freedom and recklessness of the younger generation, everyday experiences, humorous events, and feelings of nostalgia and life in the current reality.
The inspiration behind “Tutta l’Italia” comes from the Italian way of life, with the narrator mentioning local customs such as food, drinks, social connections, and even politics. The song includes references to a life of freedom and liberation, with quotes about situations like drinking alcohol and partying at clubs. There is also a mention of politics, referencing an iconic political figure, and the urban pace of life. Additionally, the song touches on social dynamics and presents a picture of Italian youthโhappy, yet with sad eyes that carry a sense of longing. It addresses themes of friendship, unstructured living, and the essence of life in modern reality, all while maintaining an immediate sense of enjoyment.
The artist won the “San Marino Song Contest 2025” held last night (Saturday) and competed against 19 other participants, with Gabry finishing in first place in the jury vote.
During the evening, there were guest performances byย the queer band La rappresentante di lista, who competed in 2021 and 2022 at the Sanremo Festival, which serves as Italy’s Eurovision selection. Also performed, San Marino’s Eurovision 2021 representative, Senhit. Watch the perforamce:

What Is the Relationship Between San Marino and Italy?
San Marino is a tiny landlocked country located entirely within Italy, and thus has close economic and cultural ties with the surrounding country. The national broadcaster of San Marino, San Marino RTV, broadcasts content in multiple languages, including Italian, and provides television and radio services to the citizens of San Marino. Since San Marino is a small country, its broadcaster collaborates with the Italian national broadcaster, RAI. The collaboration between the two broadcasters includes shared content, joint participation in TV events, and professional guidance in various aspects of program production. This connection enables San Marino to produce and distribute high-quality content and participate in international events like Eurovision.
Lyrics – “Tutta l’Italia”:
Mamma stasera non ritorno
Ma sicuro finisco in qualche letto, poi dormo
Siamo dei bravi ragazzi, apposto
Spaghetti, vino e padre nostro
E la Gioco-o-onda ride
Va bene, ma lei sta a Parigi
I baci vietati ne-nelle stradine nere
Occhi tristi ma felici
Quanti amici degli amici
E canti, ti sento tra le grida
Le luci ci passano le dita
Fa niente se non l’hai mai sentita
Ma con ‘sta roba ci salta
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia (Hey)
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia
Lasciateci ballare
Con un bicchiere in mano
Domani poi ci pentiamo
A dirci: “Ti amo”
Che qui ci sente
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia (Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
Pam-pa-ra-ra-ramโฆ
(Hey)
Pam-pa-ra-ra-ramโฆ
(Hey)
Il calcio lo prendono a calci
La moda che fa degli stracci
Cucina stellata di avanzi, beato santissimo Craxi
E quante mo-o-onetine
Ma i desideri son degli altri
Ma con le collanine d’oro sulle canottiere
L’auto blu con i lampeggianti
Avanti, popolo, avanti
E canti, ti sento tra le grida
Le luci ci passano le dita
Fa niente, baby, cosรฌ รจ la vita
E con ‘sta roba ci salta
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia (Hey)
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia
Lasciateci ballare
Con un bicchiere in mano
Domani poi ci pentiamo
A dirci: “Ti amo”
Che qui ci ัente
Tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia, tutta l’Italia (Hey)
One, two, three, four
(Hey)
