The Eurovision Song Contest 1958 was the third Eurovision Song Contest. The convention that the winning country from a year hosted the following year's contest was introduced in this year. France's win was their first. It was the last time to date that the United Kingdom did not enter.
The Italian entry was not picked up properly in some of the other countries, which meant that after all the other songs had been presented, Domenico Modugno had to sing it again partly because the juries were not in the studio like in the previous years. This year they stayed in their own countries, listening to the event. Once the songs had all been sung, juries sent their results via telephone.
The Italian entry became very successful in the United States, where it has become commonly known as Volare, and got two Grammy Awards.
