On the opening night, shortly after the beginning of the show, a man, Pino Pagano, sat on the edge of the gallery of the theater and showed the intention to commit suicide jumping below, shouting "Pippo, io mi butto" (Italian for "Pippo, I'm jumping"): he was eventually stopped by Baudo himself amid the applause of the audience.[1][2]
After every night Rai 1 broadcast DopoFestival, a talk show about the festival with the participation of singers and journalists. It was hosted by Serena Dandini with Luciano De Crescenzo, Fabio Fazio, Gianni Ippoliti and Pippo Baudo.[1]
