Disco d'Oro

Disco d'Oro is a record shop in Bologna, Italy, founded in 1976 by Tiziano Figlioli and Federico Venturoli. It began on via Marconi in the historic centre of Bologna and became a musical reference point for the city's 1970s and 1980s generation. The shop specialised in punk and new wave, sourcing records through frequent buying trips to London and New York. In its early years it supported Radio Alice, at the time the most important free private radio station in Emilia-Romagna. In 1981 the shop moved to via Galliera, where the local punk scene took root. Through evenings organised by the staff, bands such as The Valentines and Confusional Quartet emerged. The shop was a meeting place for Bologna artists including Red Ronnie, Andrea Pazienza, Filippo Scozzari, Massimo Iosa Ghini, Gaznevada and Skiantos, who performed there several times. It has been cited in various literary works about Bologna and punk music. In 2016 its fortieth anniversary was celebrated with DJ sets and a concert by Vince Pastano. The shop remains active and continues to operate from Bologna.
