Canzonissima (Italian: [kantsoˈnissima]; transl. [The] Utmost Song) was an Italian musical variety show broadcast by Rai 1 from 1958 to 1975, aired on Saturday evenings except for the last two editions, which were aired on Sunday afternoon. The program has been referred to as "the synthesis and paradigm of Italian television variety". [1]
The song won the eighth edition of Canzonissima, beating Gianni Morandi's "Capriccio" and establishing Ranieri as the new favorite of the Italian younger audience. [ 1 ] The song also got an immediate commercial success, with the single ranking #1 on the Italian hit parade.
The album features songs previously published on 45rpm records (except for "E sono ancora qui"), all of which were performed during the TV show Canzonissima of the 1968 season, where Mina was also the host. [6] The tracks "Zum zum zum" and "Vorrei che fosse amore" were the show's theme songs. [7]
