Sanremo Music Festival 1977
The Sanremo Music Festival 1977, officially the 27th Italian Song Festival, was the 27th annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo between 3 and 5 March 1977, and broadcast by RAI. It was the first edition not to take place at the Sanremo Casino, with Ariston going on to become the stable venue of the event.
Rules of this edition consisted a "head to head" mechanism between two singers at a time. A jury, composed of 25 members, was located immediately under the stage and had to express the vote for a singer or another. The winner of the festival was the group Homo Sapiens with the song "Bella da morire".
