Bongiovanni (record label)
Casa Bongiovanni (1905) of Bologna is an Italian classical music publisher and, since 1975, classical record label. The company was founded by Francesco Bongiovanni to publish the works of then modern composers such as Respighi, Zandonai, Alfano, Pietro Cimara, and Francesco Balilla Pratella.[1][2] It is known for unusual recordings of rare Italian repertoire, particularly lesser known bel canto Italian operas. The company also runs a small record shop in Bologna.[3]
