The show was hosted by Claudio Cecchetto, assisted by the actress Eleonora Vallone and by the singer Nilla Pizzi (two times winner of the Festival).[1]
The winner of the Festival was Alice with the song "Per Elisa".[1]
This was the first edition to be entirely broadcast on RAI, after eight years in which the live broadcast was restricted only to the final night of the festival.[1]
Massimo Troisi should have participated in the final night of the festival with three segments as a comedian, but just before he took the stage, he decided not to appear because of the cuts to his monologues that were required by RAI executives.[1]
