The Sanremo Music Festival 1995 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 1995), officially the 45th Italian Song Festival (45º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 45th annual Sanremo Music Festival, held at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo in late February 1995 and broadcast by Rai 1. The show was presented by Pippo Baudo, who also served as the artistic director, with actresses Anna Falchi and Claudia Koll.[1]

On the opening night, shortly after the beginning of the show, a man, Pino Pagano, sat on the edge of the gallery of the theater and showed the intention to commit suicide jumping below, shouting "Pippo, io mi butto" (Italian for "Pippo, I'm jumping"): he was eventually stopped by Baudo himself amid the applause of the audience.[1]
After every night Rai 1 broadcast DopoFestival, a talk show about the festival with the participation of singers and journalists. It was hosted by Serena Dandini with Luciano De Crescenzo, Fabio Fazio, Gianni Ippoliti and Pippo Baudo.[1]
