The Teatro Titano in San Marino will host the second edition of “Great & Good Friends” Gospel on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 December, a charity concert organized by the Associazione Fratellanza San Marino-America (San Marino-America Brotherhood Association). Taking centre stage for both evenings will be the international group The Women of God, performing a repertoire spanning traditional and contemporary gospel as well as Christmas carols.
The initiative, presented this morning at the Secretariat of State for Tourism, returns following the success of its 2025 debut and forms part of the programme of side events accompanying Natale delle Meraviglie 2026 (Christmas of Wonders 2026).
The title echoes the words used by Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States, in a letter sent to the Captains Regent on 7 May 1861, in response to being granted honorary San Marino citizenship.
The event takes on particular significance this year, which marks the 250th anniversary of American independence. The evenings will be hosted by Marco Corona.
Proceeds from the concerts will go to the Fondazione Centro Anch’io Onlus, supporting the “Chiavi di Casa” (Keys to Home) project, and to ASLEM, for the “INSIEME” (Together) project.
Speaking at the presentation were the Secretary of State for Tourism Federico Pedini Amati, private secretary Alan Gasperoni, head of the Tourism Office Nicoletta Corbelli, and the president of the Associazione Fratellanza San Marino-America, Roberto Moretti.
Pedini Amati highlighted the cultural and charitable value of the initiative, which enriches the Christmas calendar and recalls the long-standing friendship between San Marino and the United States. Corbelli likewise reaffirmed the Tourism Office’s support for an event that brings together music, charity and the promotion of the territory.
The event is held under the High Patronage of the Captains Regent and the patronage of several Secretariats of State, with the cooperation of the Tourism Office and the Cultural Institutes.
Tickets cost 18 euros, including presale fees and commissions, and are available through the Vivaticket network, at authorized sales points, and at the Freeshop in San Marino.
