EUROVISION 2020 CANCELLED

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".
