Events

edit

In 1953, the experimental phase of Italian television is almost over. During the year, the two repeaters in Milan and Turin are joined by five more ones covering most of Northern and Central Italy. Even before its official birth, however, RAI television comes under harsh criticism from the press, especially for the low quality of the shows and its state monopoly regime.[1]

Debuts

edit
  • La Domenica Sportiva (The sporty Sunday), the longest-lasting show of the Italian television, even today aired.[7]
  • Festival della nuova canzone siciliana (Festival of the new Sicilian Song), 5 seasons, hosted by Corrado Mantoni at his debut on video.

Television shows

edit
  • Album personale di Wanda Osiris (Wanda Osiris’ personal album) – tribute to the most popular Italian showgirl of the time, directed by Daniele D’Anza.[8]
  • Il commesso di libreria (The bookshop’s clerk) – by Franco Antonicelli, first cultural magazine.[9]
