Regina

Regina Records, founded in 1954 by the Italian music producer and entrepreneur, Giovanni "Nino" De Luca, emerged as a significant label in the Italian music scene. Initially focused on traditional Italian pop and folk music, Regina gained prominence in the 1960s and 1970s by signing influential artists such as Adriano Celentano and Mina, who helped shape the era's musical landscape. The label expanded its repertoire to include various genres, including rock, jazz, and classical, reflecting the evolving tastes of the public. In the 1980s, Regina faced challenges from emerging digital formats and competition, leading to a decline in its prominence. However, the label has continued to operate, reviving interest in its classic catalog and reissuing works by its notable artists. Regina's legacy lies in its contributions to the Italian music industry and its role in promoting a diverse range of musical styles throughout its history.
