procedure
General
In 1967 the record of 58 participants was set, which was never again reached. They interpreted 30 songs, with only the international guests Gene Pitney , The Bachelors and Cher (once as part of Sonny and Cher ) participating in two songs each. As in the previous year, a jury vote made 14 songs the final. For the fifth time in a row, Mike Bongiorno moderated the event, this time together with the young Renata Mauro, who was discovered at the Festival di Napoli in 1966. 25 conductors were responsible for the orchestra, the overall direction of the festival was still the responsibility of Gianni Ravera . For reasons of space, the performances were distributed: solo performers performed as usual in the Salone delle Fest , participating groups found their stage in the Teatro dell'Opera, which is also located in the casino .
There were a lot of “festival veterans” among the participants, such as Claudio Villa , Iva Zanicchi , Domenico Modugno , Bobby Solo , Ornella Vanoni , Johnny Dorelli , Milva , Betty Curtis , Pino Donaggio , Little Tony and Giorgio Gaber . On the wave of success of Nessuno mi può giudicare , last year's “moral winner”, Caterina Caselli also returned to the festival. Mino Reitano (with a song written by Lucio Battisti and Mogol ), Peppino di Capri , Memo Remigi and the group I Giganti made their debut .
In the final, Claudio Villa and Iva Zanicchi 's Non pensare a me, inspired by Frank Sinatra's Strangers in the Night , prevailed among the juries . Villa was able to catch up with Domenico Modugno with this fourth win, and to date no artist has achieved more than four victories.
The “trauma” of Luigi Tenco
The 1967 Sanremo Festival was overshadowed by a tragic event that, as a cultural trauma, was to influence all of Italian pop music: the suicide of Luigi Tenco . The 29-year-old Cantautore from the Genoese school took part in the competition for the first time after an eight-year career. His song Ciao amore ciao , which addressed the Italian emigration and was sung in the second version by Dalida , was presented on the first evening and did not qualify for the final. The additional jury that was able to bring a song that had already been eliminated back into the competition decided on La rivoluzione . That night, Tenco was found dead in his hotel room, apparently killed by a shot in the head. Last but not least, the suicide note made it clear that it was suicide :
“I loved the Italian audience and senselessly sacrificed five years of my life to them. I don't do this because I'm tired of life (on the contrary), but as an act of protest against an audience that chooses Io tu e le rose for the finals and because of a jury that chooses La rivoluzione . I hope this clears up someone. "
Despite the incident, the two remaining evenings of the festival went on schedule. The press reported widely about Tenco's death and much speculation about the exact circumstances of his death made the rounds, but his funeral was barely noticed by the public or by his music colleagues. Ugo Zatterin, chairman of the return jury, pushed the matter out of the festival context and declared Tenco to be a mentally disturbed, weak personality. This view was also evident in the parliamentary questions raised by the Democrazia Cristiana, which addressed the event . But in less conservative circles, suicide was soon seen as a social indictment and Tenco as a warning harbinger. The Cantautore was now considered to be the embodiment of a generation that threatened to lose touch with reality. Above all, however, he was seen as a victim of the market and the entertainment industry. Many young people elevated Luigi Tenco to a cultural icon and at the same time vehemently rejected the Sanremo Festival. In 1972, the Club Tenco was established in Sanremo (lender of Tenco Prize and Targa Tenco ), which in future campaigned for the promotion of music outside the mainstream.

successes
Eleven of the 14 final entries subsequently reached the top 15 of the Italian single charts, three of them in both versions. Of the songs that were eliminated, only Luigi Tenco's Ciao amore Ciao could - understandably - reach the charts.
The most successful that year was Little Tony with Cuore matto , although he had only reached tenth place in the competition. Even L'immensità Don Backy and Johnny Dorelli and La proposta of the Giants' became hits. The winning song, however, was not very successful. Claudio Villa was then sent again to the Eurovision Song Contest , but there he entered the race with the song Non andare più lontano .
