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.
