Sanremo Music Festival 1957

The winner of the festival was "Corde della mia chitarra", performed by Claudio Villa and Nunzio Gallo.

[1] The winner of the competition also went on to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 1957, with Gallo chosen from the two interpreters.

The song "La cosa più bella" performed by Carla Boni and Tonina Torrielli was excluded from the second evening for its earlier publication in a juke box in Milan as a version engraved by Cristina Jorio.

[2] The fourth night, called "Free Authors Competition" (Italian: "Concorso liberi autori"), included ten different songs with their own ranking and scoring, focused on their writing qualities.

From the two Sanremo Music Festival interpreters for "Corde della mia chitarra", Nunzio Gallo was chosen to perform the song at Eurovision.
