The Sanremo Music Festival 1958 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 1958), officially the 8th Italian Song Festival (8º Festival della canzone italiana), was the eight annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Sanremo Casino in Sanremo between 30 January and 1 February 1958. The show was presented by actor Gianni Agus, assisted by television announcer Fulvia Colombo.[1]
According to the rules of this edition every song was performed in a double performance by a couple of singers or groups, with some artists performing multiple songs.[1] The winner of the festival was "Nel blu, dipinto di blu", performed by Domenico Modugno (who was also the composer of the song) and Johnny Dorelli.[1] Modugno went on to perform the song for Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 1958.
