The show was presented by Mike Bongiorno, assisted by actors Sylva Koscina and Paolo Villaggio. Vittorio Salvetti served as artistic director.[1] From this edition it was abolished the competition rule, established in 1959, which prescribed a double performance by two different artists or groups for every song.[1]

The winner of the Festival was Nicola Di Bari with the song "I giorni dell'arcobaleno", and according to the rules of this edition he was subsequently chosen to represent Italy at the Eurovision 1972.[1]
