Ri-Fi

Ri-Fi was an Italian record company and label, active between 1959 and 1982.

The company was founded in Milan by Giovanni Battista Ansoldi, who also served as CEO.[1] The company discovered and launched many artists, including Iva Zanicchi, Fred Bongusto and I Giganti, as well as recording established artists such as Fausto Leali and Michele.[1] Notably, singer Mina had several major hits with Ri-Fi between 1963 and 1967, including "Città vuota", "È l'uomo per me", "Un anno d'amore" and "E se domani".[1] A few years after the death of Ansoldi in 1979, the company went on hiatus. Its catalogue was subsequently bought by Southern Music.[1]
