Festival of Italian song is a song that event takes place every year in San Remo. In 1948 he was held in La Capannina, local historian Versilian, the first National Festival Canoro.

The initiative was also replicated the following year but was canceled in 1950 for economic issues. If interested Bussetti Pier, the Casino of Sanremo, which together with Giulio Razzi, set up the rules of the competition that was held for the first time in San Remo in 1951. Thus the Italian Song Festival, also known as the Festival of San Remo.

Some sources have tracked down in 1931 a similar initiative of the coastal town linked to Neapolitan songs, an event that can be considered as prodromica at the Festival, whose development was delayed due to the difficult political situation that lived in Italy and Europe.
