Telegatto
Italian television award From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Telegatto (a composition of television and gatto, meaning "cat", after the trophy, which is a small statue representing a cat), was an Italian television award first conceived in 1971 following the contest Gran Premio internazionale dello Spettacolo, although the first award ceremony wasn't held until 1984. The ceremonies are known as Telegatti, the plural form of Telegatto. They were sponsored by the weekly magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni and broadcast on Canale 5. The prize was a golden cat statue with the network's initials on its face, inspired by a cartoon from the television series Super Classifica Show, a cult show in the 1980s and early 1990s. The award ceremony was cancelled in 2009.

On 12 March 2018, on the occasion of a press conference for the photography book dedicated to the event,[1] and a decade after the last edition, the director of TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, Aldo Vitali, hypothesized the return of the event in Milan for October of the same year, to be hosted by Carlo Conti. The show, however, never resurfaced.[2]
