Un disco per l'estate

Un disco per l'estate (translation "A song for the Summer") was an Italian Summer festival held from 1964 to 2003. It was organized and sponsored by the Italian record industry association, AFI, and by RAI, except for the editions between 1995 and 2000, in which the festival was organized and broadcast by Mediaset. The festival initially consisted in a musical competition with a first elimination round held on radio and the final round aired on TV, then it primarily became during the years a prominent television event, with no contest or a side competition reserved for emerging artists.
