The tenth edition of the Festival della Canzone Italiana di Sanremo was held from January 28th to 30th in the municipal casino in Sanremo in 1960 and was moderated by Paolo Ferrari and Enza Sampò .
procedure
The organizing company ATA entrusted the organization of the 10th Sanremo Festival to the theater producer Ezio Radaelli , while the Totò committee , which selected the contributions, took over the chairmanship . The moderator duo was also renewed again. Conductor Cinico Angelini returned, but his colleague Marcello De Martino was there for the first time. In the field of participants, the gap between traditional singers such as Nilla Pizzi and innovators such as Domenico Modugno and Tony Dallara became increasingly apparent. New to it were u. a. Greats like Mina and Renato Rascel .
In terms of the rules, everything remained unchanged: ten songs were presented in two versions each evening, five of which reached the final on Saturday. In 1960 the competition was characterized by the head-to-head race between the two favorites, Domenico Modugno with Teddy Reno and Tony Dallara with Renato Rascel, which the press also anticipated. In the end Modugno did not manage to get the third victory in a row and had to admit defeat with Libero to the energetic performance of Dallara, whose contribution Romantica was, however, the musically more traditional.
Nilla Pizzi said goodbye to the festival after this edition and did not return until a good 20 years later.
