The final night was broadcast by Rete Uno, while the first two nights were broadcast live only by radio. The rules of this edition consisted of a competition among five teams, each one consisting of six singers. The two "team leaders" of each team were not subject to a vote and were automatically admitted to the finals.[1] The winner of the festival was Peppino di Capri with the song "Non lo faccio più".[1]
