Fonit Cetra was an Italianrecord label, active between 1957 and 2000.

Fonit Cetra was founded in 1957 from merging two already existing labels:Cetra (acronym from Compagnia per edizioni, teatro, registrazioni ed affini), owned byRAI and previouslyEIAR, andFonit [it] (acronym from Fonodisco Italiano Trevisan), founded in 1911 in Milan. Both labels had already been popular, thanks to such artists asNilla Pizzi,Achille Togliani,Natalino Otto andDomenico Modugno. Fonit Cetra continued to use two old names on their records and maintained two different offices, in Turin and Milan, until the 1970s, when the main headquarters were relocated to Milan. In July 1987, the company's name was changed to Nuova Fonit Cetra. In 1997, it became part of RAI Trade, however, in 1998, it was sold toWarner Music Group which acquired its catalogue.^[1]
