The NA60 experiment has studied J/{psi} production in Indium-Indium collisions at 158 A GeV. This paper presents results obtained with the complete statistics and the final alignment of the vertex tracker. The centrality dependence of the J/{psi} suppression, obtained by comparing the measured distribution to the ''normal nuclear absorption'' curve, shows that the J/{psi} is suppressed in In-In collisions beyond the absorption induced by cold nuclear matter.
