The 1960 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XVII Olympiad, were held at Rome in Italy.[3] Rome had been awarded the 1908 Summer Olympics. However, after the 1906 eruption of Mount Vesuvius, London became the host.
CBS paid $394,000 for the right to broadcast the Games in the United States.[4]
