The two hundred and thirty-sixth TV show: #43 Canzonissima
After we've already looked at the Eurovision Song Contest before, here's one of the many shows that offered the national selection for the series. For a large part of this show's run, the winner went to represent Italy in the song contest, and the songs here are one of the focuses of the show. What it also brings are the bigger musical numbers, as well as a few too many bits and sketches to fill the time between songs. It's fine to see some of it to get a feel for it, but language aside, the age of the program means that the music is as dated and just not as interesting.
