The Festivalbar was a summer event that took place every year from 1964 to 2007. Created by Vittorio Salvetti, it was initially intended to reward the most “popular” song on jukeboxes during the summer (each device was connected to a counter that recorded the data); later the ranking was established also considering radio and television airplay and sales data. The winning song was announced in September, with a public evening held in Asiago from 1964 to 1974 (with the exceptions of 1965, when it was held in Milan, and 1966 and 1967, when it was held in Salice Terme), and then from 1975 at the Verona Arena.
