Settevoci ("Seven Voices") was an Italian musical variety show broadcast by Rai 1 (at the time called "Programma Nazionale") from 1966 to 1970, hosted by Pippo Baudo and aired on Sunday afternoon.[1][2] The program was a large success, and contributed to launch the careers of many artists, including Albano Carrisi, Massimo Ranieri, Nicola Di Bari, Orietta Berti and Marisa Sannia.[1][2] It also marked the first personal success for the presenter Baudo.[1]

The show consisted of a contest with singers combined in couples, and included a quiz to test their knowledge in the music field. The final results were eventually determined through a clap-o-meter.[1][2]
