  • Il processo alla tappa (The stage on trial) – host by Sergio Zavoli. The show follows the Giro d’Italia, stage by stage, with special attention to the human side of the race. Started in radio in 1958, it lasts till now (but with a long break from 1970 to 1998) and must be remembered also for its technical innovations, like the moviola and the interviews to the racing cyclists.
  • Rotocalco televisivo (TV magazine) – current affairs program, directed by Enzo Biagi, lasted till 1968 and, in 2007, briefly revived by Biagi himself, few months before his death. It denounced, for the first time on Italian television, the power of the Mafia and the omertà culture, with the Gianni Bisiach reportage Report from Corleone.[5]

Variety

  • Canzonissima 62. This edition of the traditional contest of songs, won by Tony Renis with Quando quando quando, is now remembered moreover for its political meaning. The two hosts, Dario Fo and Franca Rame, try a kind of show more daring and less evasive than usual. Their satirical sketches about taboo topics, as the mafia and the work accidents, get appreciations but also protests, questions to the House and censures by RAI. After the leaving of the couple (see over), the show goes on without an host, before being entrust to Tino Buazzelli and, for the final episode, to Corrado Maltoni.
  • Rinaldo in campo (Rinaldo takes the field) – musical comedy in three episodes about the Expedition of the Thousand, by Garinei and Giovannini, directed by Carla Ragionieri, with Domenico Modugno (author also of the music), Delia Scala and Franco e Ciccio. Already a success in teathre, it’s the second most viewed show of the year (after L’amico del giaguaro), with 14.600.000 spectators.[11]
  • Alta pressione (High pressure) – first Italian TV musical show aimed explicitly to the young people and first success of the Secondo Canale, hosted by Walter Chiari and Renata Mauro.[12]
