Premiatissima was an Italian Saturday night variety show, broadcast on Canale 5 between 1982 and 1987. It is considered the Fininvest response to RAI Saturday night show Fantastico.
The structure of the show reprised Canzonissima, with a competition between singers who were voted through voting cards which were contained in the weekly magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni and in Dixan detergent drums and also served as lottery tickets.
