San Marino at Eurovision 2025: Gabry Ponte, who won the “San Marino Song Contest 2025” and will perform “Tutta L’Italia,” reveals dramatic changes to his performance. What will change?

The Italian star and famous DJ, Gabry Ponte, who will represent San Marino in the second half of the first semifinal on May 13, revealed that the performance of the song “Tutta L’Italia” (translated as: “All of Italy”) on stage in Basel will be completely different from the performance seen during San Marino’s national selection. This is a major surprise for the audience, as Ponte decided to make a significant change to the performance plan, aiming to surprise and leave a stronger impression on the Eurovision stage.

Dramatic Changes to the Performance

In an interview with the Italian show “Sorrisi E Canconi TV”, Ponte talked about the success of the song, which was initially released only as a performance during the Sanremo Festival final, serving as the local Eurovision selection. However, following the decision of the festival’s artistic director, Carlo Conti, it was decided to use the song as the unofficial anthem of the festival, which contributed to the song’s massive impact.

This unexpected change turned the song into an instant pop hit. Regarding his chances in the Eurovision contest, Ponte mentioned that he knows Eurovision is unpredictable, but he is very competitive and ready to give his best on stage. “It may not look like it, but I am very competitive. I’m going there to give my best, but in a calm way. I know Eurovision is unpredictable,” he said.

In the same interview, Ponte also revealed that the performance in Basel, which will differ greatly from the performance at San Marino’s national contest, will include significant changes. “There are limits on the number of people allowed on stage, and the limit is six people. So, we decided to change almost everything from what you saw in the last few weeks. I’ll be accompanied by two singers who were given the option to decide whether to perform with masks or not,” Ponte noted.

San Marino – Unprecedented Success?

The decision to change the performance certainly contributes to a unique and mysterious atmosphere that could give him an advantage in his Eurovision performance. This is a different approach, where no minor detail can be left as it was. The questions being asked are whether these changes will affect Ponte’s success in the competition and whether he will manage to stand out on the Eurovision stage next year. Will the performance in Basel provide the dramatic moments that will allow him to stand out among the competitors and grab the expected attention? This is the question that fascinates not only Ponte’s fans but also all Eurovision 2025 viewers.

Although Ponte’s song has already achieved significant success, the changes in his performance could be the key to his true success on the Eurovision 2025 stage. There’s no doubt that he will compete for high placements in the race for the coveted title.
