This is a list of Italian television related events from 1956.
Events
Debuts
- L'amico degli animali (The animals' friend), hosted by Angelo Lombardi, educational show about zoology.The Lombardi's phrases "Hello, friends of my friends" and "Andalù, take it away", said to his African helper, become proverbial.
- Primo applauso (First applause), talent show, hosted by Enzo Tortora, who begins his long career as TV showman.
- La piazzetta (The little square), variety show. After three episodes, an exhibition of the dancer Alba Arnova with apparently bare legs (really, she wore a tight leoland) arouses L'Osservatore romano's protests and the show is deleted.
Television shows
- L’alfiere (The ensign), by Anton Giulio Majano, from Carlo Alianello, historical novel about the Italian unification, seen on the side of the army of the Two Sicilies; to notice the presence, in small roles, of some future stars, as Domenico Modugno, Monica Vitti and Nino Manfredi.
- Cime tempestose (Wuthering Heights), by Mario Landi, from Emily Brontë, with Massimo Girotti as Heathcliff and Anna Maria Ferrero as Catherine Earnshaw.
- Il marziano Filippo (Filippo the Martian), by Cesare Emilio Gaslini, with Oreste Lionello, science-fiction miniserie for children; the plot is strangely similar to the E. T.’s one.
