1967

The show was presented by Mike Bongiorno and Renata Mauro .[1]

According to the rules of this edition every song was performed in a double performance by a couple of singers or groups.[1] The winners of the Festival were Iva Zanicchi and Claudio Villa with the song "Non pensare a me".[1] But after the festival, actually the biggest success and the most popular song was "Cuore matto" (crazy heart) of Little Tony, that sold 6 million copies and was the no.1 hit for nine consecutive weeks in the Italian hit parade.

During the festival, following the elimination of their song, the partner of Dalida singer-songwriter Luigi Tenco committed suicide.[1]

Shortly after the contest ended, the original tape copy of the contest was lost. Italian broadcaster RAI recovered a very rare copy 4 decades later and restored it.
