Sanremo Music Festival 1990
Italian song contest (40th edition)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sanremo Music Festival 1990 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 1990), officially the 40th Italian Song Festival (40º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 40th annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Teatro Palafiori in Sanremo between 28 February and 3 March 1990 and broadcast by Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI). The show was presented by Johnny Dorelli and Gabriella Carlucci (the former having won the festival in 1958 and 1959). Adriano Aragozzini served as artistic director.[1] The venue was a provisional structure built in the area of the Sanremo flower market, since the Teatro Ariston, serving as the venue for the event since 1977, was undergoing renovation works.[2]
