La voce del padrone


La voce del padrone was the Italian label for the His Master's Voice recording house. The house belonged to The Gramophone Company Ltd., of Hayes which owned several labels in Italy, like Columbia, Marconiphone, Angel Records and Grammofono.
From 1904, Gramophone Company records were published and distributed in Italy by Saif, a company based in Milan. When the Gramophone Company and the Columbia Graphophone Company merged in 1931 to form EMI, Saif in turn merged with Columbia's Italian arm, SNG.
