Rivista Musicale Italiana (The Italian Music Magazine) (also referred to as RMI) was a quarterly periodical of musicological subject published by Giuseppe Bocca.

As a result, the magazine devoted special attention in selecting contributions based on primary source materials. Furthermore, attracts the collaboration of qualified foreign scholars, especially from (Germany) and France. [1]
