Simona Ventura will host the final of the San Marino Song Contest 2027 and share artistic direction duties with Massimo Bonelli. San Marino RTV has given her a central role in the project for the 2027 and 2028 editions, including the television concept for the semifinals and the concluding evening next March.
The semifinals will take place on 3 and 4 March, while the final is scheduled for 6 March 2027. The winner will represent the Republic at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Meanwhile, selections for Dreaming San Marino Song Contest have already begun, with hundreds of entries received from various countries. Coordinating the collection of applications and the organisation of the international selections is Denny Montesi, working alongside the artistic direction team and RTV staff.
An operational meeting has been set for 17 November in Milan. It will be used to define the calendar, organisation, promotion and events accompanying the journey toward March.
The new project follows the 2026 edition which, according to figures released by San Marino RTV, surpassed 320 million total contacts across the entire Eurovision-related operation. Backing the initiative are the Secretariat of State for Tourism, led by Federico Pedini Amati, and the Congress of State.
«With Simona Ventura and Massimo Bonelli we want to achieve a further leap in quality, giving the San Marino Song Contest an increasingly significant artistic, televisual and international dimension. Simona will be a key figure in the artistic direction, in shaping the evenings’ format, and in hosting the final», said RTV general director Roberto Sergio.
After Eurovision 2027, the work programme will continue with preparations for participation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Armenia.
