Nuccio Rinaldis

Nuccio Rinaldis is best known in Italian pop music business for being lead sound engineer of Italian singer Mina for several years.[1]

Rinaldis's work can be traced in almost the singer's complete discography, both albums and singles from 1967 onwards, with the many hits he was involved in, first at Carlo Alberto Rossi's Fonorama Studio and later, for more than 10 years since the founding of PDU, at the La Basilica Studio in Milan, owned by Mina herself.[1]

It should be mentioned that it was thanks to the test recording proposed by Rinaldis, that the record Mina Live '78 was made and released as a double album. It constitutes the only audio record of Mina's last public concert.[2]
