Events

[edit]

RAI

[edit]
  • January 6: Wess and Dori Ghezzi win the last edition of Canzonissima with Un corpo un'anima (A body a soul). The show ends its cycle on the sly; the final evening is not aired because a strike and the results of the contest are announced briefly by the news program.[1]
  • March 1: Gilda wins the Sanremo Festival, presented by Mike Bongiorno ad Sabina Ciuffini, with Ragazza del sud (Southern girl). It is considered the weakest edition of the contest, boycotted by the record companies and almost ignored by RAI, which broadcasts only the final evening.
  • April 14: RAI reform is promulgated; the estate's control passes from government to parliament.[2]
  • May 14 the Parliamentary Committee for Supervision of Radio and TV Services settles downs; its first president is the DC Giacomo Sedati.[2]
  • May 23: the socialist Beniamino Finocchiaro becomes RAI president; the DC Michele Principe general director.[2]
  • August: RAI begins the technical trials of colour broadcastings, with the PAL system.[2]
  • September 24: RAI broadcasts Federico Fellini’s La dolce vita, 15 years after its release in the theatres. The movie, till then judged too outrageous for the Italian public, had been already aired by the major European televisions.[3]

Private Channels

[edit]

In 1975, besides the already numerous cable TV, the private channels by air spread in Italy. They operate with little means and out of legality; yet, many Italian praetors acknowledge them the right to broadcast.

  • March: Telebiella, the pioneer of Italian cable televisions, stop to broadcast.
