The winner of the Festival was Alice with the song "Per Elisa".
This was the first edition to be enterely broadcast on RAI, after eight years in which the live broadcast was restricted only to the final night of the festival.
Massimo Troisi should have participated in the final night of the festival with three segments as a comedian, but just before to take the stage he decided not to appear because of the cuts of his monologues required by RAI executives.
