The 34th edition of the Festival della Canzone Italiana di Sanremo took place in 1984 from February 2nd to 4th at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo and was moderated by Pippo Baudo together with Tiziana Pini , Edi Angelillo , Iris Peynado and Elisabetta Gardini .
procedure
After all 36 participants, whether main category or newcomer, competed in the competition together with a uniform final ranking in 1983 and the newcomer Tiziana Rivale was surprisingly able to prevail against big names, organizer Gianni Ravera and the Rai decided to take the two categories and this year to keep their final scores separate. The winner of the festival could only come from the main category, while the winner of the newcomer received his own prize. In addition, different voting systems were used for the two categories: For the newcomers, the “demoscopic” juries (spread across the country) were retained, whereas in the main category, only the audience vote using totip bets, as carried out as an experiment in the previous year, was decisive for the competition.
Pippo Baudo returned as a presenter 16 years after his first presentation in Sanremo . At his side, the four actresses Tiziana Pini (also the second time at the festival), Edi Angelillo , Elisabetta Gardini and Iris Peynado and the two girls Isabella Rocchietta (6 years) and Viola Simioncioni (7 years) took turns . The theme song Rose su rose was sung by Mina . As tried for the first time last year, full playback was mandatory for all participants and musical guests in 1984 . On the first evening of the festival, all 20 entries in the main category were presented, all of which made it to the finals; on the other hand, the 16 newcomers appeared on the second evening, of which only eight reached the final.
Among the participants in the main category were many names with festival experience: Toto Cutugno , Bobby Solo and Iva Zanicchi, for example as former winners, or Christian , Pupo (who moved up to replace Loretta Goggi ), Anna Oxa , Drupi , Enrico Ruggeri , Fiorella Mannoia , Donatella Milani , Fiordaliso and Mario Castelnuovo . The return of Patty Pravo ( arranged by Caterina Caselli ) , who last participated in 1970, was particularly eagerly awaited . On the other hand, Gruppo Italiano , Alberto Camerini , Stadio and Garbo were new . In the newcomer category, all eyes were on the young Eros Ramazzotti , whom Gianni Ravera discovered at the 1981 Castrocaro Festival . The band Collage , who had already taken part in the Sanremo Festival three times, was already known among the newcomers .
The singer Silvia Conti was originally supposed to compete in the newcomer category with the song Favola triste ; However, it turned out that the song was not new in the sense of the festival rules, whereupon the contribution was excluded for a short time. Conti was replaced by the I Trilli duo with the song Pomeriggio a Marrakesh . A non-musical incident occurred on the first evening of the festival when thousands of workers from the Genoese steel factory Italsider demonstrated in front of the theater against the threat of mass layoffs . Pippo Baudo then had six representatives of the workers read out their manifesto on the festival stage, to great applause from the audience.
Top-class international guests enriched the festival again this year: Among them were Culture Club , Queen , Bonnie Tyler , Randy Crawford , Paul Young , Gilbert Montagné , Bonnie Bianco & Pierre Cosso , Jair Rodrigues & Jairzinho and the Italian Claudio Villa . As in previous years, Pippo Franco presented a new song, and comedian Beppe Grillo also made several appearances.
The big favorites of the competition were Al Bano & Romina Power and Toto Cutugno, both with relatively traditional entries. These then took the first two places, with over 2 million votes for Al Bano & Romina Powers Ci sarà . The Critics' Prize, on the other hand, went to Patty Pravos Per una bambola , who only finished tenth in the audience rating . Among the newcomers, Ramazzotti also had a clear win with Terra promessa , ahead of Marco Armano with Solo con l'anima mia . On the other hand, the contribution La fenice by Santandrea , written together with Riccardo Cocciante , won the critics award in the newcomer category , although it did not even make it to the final in the jury evaluation.

successes
The successes in the festival were also reflected in the record sales; 13 entries then made it into the top 25 of the single charts at the festival. However, none of the competition entries reached the top of the chart, in contrast to the songs Love of the Common People (Paul Young) and Radio Ga Ga (Queen), which were also presented in Sanremo .
