Events

21 March - Italy wins the 9th Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen, Denmark. The winning song is "Non ho l'età", performed by Gigliola Cinquetti.[1]

I miserabili (Les miserables) – by Sandro Bolchi, for the centenary of the Victor Hugo’s novel, with Gastone Moschin (Jean Valjean), Tino Carraro (Javert) and Giulia Lazzarini (Fantine and Cosette ); it’s the longest (10 episodes) and most expensive (100 million liras) fiction realized by RAI till then.[2]
Il giornalino di Gian Burrasca (The Johnny Storm’s little diary) – by Lina Wertmuller, with Rita Pavone (who, thanks her shortness and small body, plays convincingly the protagonist, a pre-adolescent boy), Ivo Garrani and Arnoldo Foà; in 8 episodes. The Vamba’s novel is adapted in the key of a musical comedy, with the catchy tunes of Nino Rota.[3]
La cittadella (The citadel) by Anton Giulio Majano, from the Archibald Cronin’s novel, with Alberto Lupo, Anna Maria Guarnieri and Eleonora Rossi Drago; in 7 episodes. It’s perhaps the most beloved by public among the RAI black and white serials and makes a star of Alberto Lupo, till then a mid-level actor.[4]
Vita di Michelangelo (Life of Michelangelo) – by Silverio Blasi, with Gian Maria Volonté in the title role; in 3 episodes.[5]

Specchio segreto (Secret mirror) – candid camera show, directed and interpreted by Nanni Loy, in 7 episodes.[6]

Un’ora e ½ con il regista di Otto e ½ (An hour and a half with the 8 ½ director) – reportage by Sergio Zavoli about Federico Fellini. [7]
La casa in Italia (The house in Italy) – by Liliana Cavani, in 4 episodes. The enquiry, which boldly shows the distortions of the Italian economic miracle, gets both consents and polemics; an interview with a mafia boss involved in the building speculation is censored by RAI.[8]

28 June – Sabrina Ferilli, actress[9]
6 July – Cristina D'Avena, actress, singer (well known for singing theme songs to famous television anime and cartoons) and television presenter
30 November – Fabio Fazio, television presenter
