Sara Dall’Olio is a 17 years old talented singer from Italy. She was a member of the Peppermints, who represented San Marino at the 2014 Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Malta, with the song Breaking My Heart. Sara has recently enjoyed big success at two international music festivals.

Sara won a music award in Malta in April where she was representing Italy. In May she followed this success with another first prize in a festival in Bulgaria. Sara will participate in an international festival in Romania later this year and next year she has big plans and will perform in an important contest in St. Petersburg in Russia and will also return to compete again in the festivals in Malta and Bulgaria.

Sara is no longer a member of the Peppermints and in 2015 recorded a couple of songs by Luca Medri and Alberto Pepoli. One song was a duet with Manuel Zamagni, Insieme a me, and also a solo artist the song Dimenticarmi di te, produced by Angelo Valsiglio. In February of 2016 Sara won an award in Monte Carlo, Monaco for Dimenticarmi di te.

Next up for Sara is a new song that she is working on with Luca Medri and Alberto Pepoli. So Sara is a busy girl and I am sure we will see a lot more of her in the future maybe on the Eurovision stage.

The Peppermints represented San Marino at the 2014 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with their song Breaking My Heart. The group has now relaunched with original member Arianna Ulivi. She is joined by two new girls. They are Alixia Mistral and Sofia Casieri.

ESC Covers caught up with Arianna in Stockholm, where she was working in the Press Area at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest. She is excited that the Peppermints will continue and is looking forward to working with Alixia and Sofia on new material. Arianna said she would also love the opportunity to sing at the Eurovision Song Contest in the future with the Peppermints for San Marino if and when the opportunity would arise.

Arianna said she still keeps in touch with the original members of the Peppermints – Rafaella Perniola, Sara Dall’Olio, Greta Doveri and Anita Simoncini. She said it is difficult to see them a lot because they all live in various parts of Italy. The girls are all working on solo activities just now. Of course, Anita represented San Marino at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest with Michele Perniola with the song Chain Of Lights.

Arianna also told ESC Covers that she enjoyed interviewing Francesca Michielin (2016 ESC Italy) at this year’s Eurovision. She said she a charming personality and had a great song in No Degree of Separation.

In the meantime we await the Peppermints brand new music very soon.
