Discografia Internazionale

Discografia Internazionale (or DI)[1] was a weekly Italian popular music magazine published from 1966.[2] The magazine's headquarters was in Piazzale Loreto in Milan.[1] It was run by Germano Ruscitto, formerly the press officer for Bluebell Records, in association with Billboard Publications, Inc.[3] With its focus on international recording, the magazine was intended as a rival to the long-established Italian publication Musica e Dischi.[3]
