Locanda Delle Fate. The planets grow wide, the soapstone is an ice cream topping.

Two soundtracks among my three favorites:
 
Franco Leprino - Integrati...Disintegrati
Libra - Schock
Goblin - Suspiria

Btw: Perigeo - Fata Morgana is the same album (repackaged with a new title) as Non è poi così lontano from 1976.

definitely the end of an era, as that ye r's best albums are not worthy of more than a Gnosis 10 and there are only three of them. Even Perigeo's Morgana is not worthy of the band's previous albums.

10           Canzoniere Del Lazio          Miradas                               

10           Stormy Six            L'Apprendista     

10           Locanda delle Fate             Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Piu

Same. The other album in the list I have been most into is Stormy Six's L'Apprendista.  Years ago we had a topic on an album that we wish we could give six stars out of five to, and I went with Franco Leprino's Integrati ... Disintegrati.  It really resonated with me.  I actually realise that crying and cooing babies tends to act like bonus points for music as well as other found sounds for ambience.  Such good memories of sleepless nights perhaps when my kids were at their most infantile.  It's a reason why I like various musique concrète, Pink Floyd, Swans, various electro-acoustic music I know uses this....

Locanda Delle Fate - Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Piu, and I love the coverart as well, even not the inside of the gatefold cover the way it looks on  LPs.

Locanda Delle Fate for sure although I like that slightly funky PFM album more than the previous one (Chocolate Kings)

There's six on here I'd highly recommend.
Those two soundtracks by Goblin and Libre are fantastic and I prefer Libre.
I'm not surprised to see Locanda Delle Fate leading this poll.
For me it's between Canzoniere Del Lazio, Franco Leprino and Luciano Cilio. I went with Luciano today.

Branduardi because that album has a special meaning for me, but it's not the best in the list
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Unfortunately I have listened to half of these records, however I give my vote to Stormy Six, who are one of my favourite Italian bands.

In second place I would put Lorenzo Cilio, whom I met through Lewian.

And in third place Locanda delle Fate.

Napoli centrale (which I struggle to listen to, as a Northern Italian) and Perigeo are also very good.

I should re-listen to Franco Leprin carefully.

Le Orme and PFM's albums from 1977 aren't very good.

Edit: La pulce d'acqua is perhaps the best album by Branduardi.

A band (and album) with plenty of musical qualities that I do appreciate, but I can never get past the "singing". That unappealing vocal timbre and flat delivery ruins everything for me.

I too find the vocal section objectionable. Certainly the singers Franco Fabbri and Umberto Fiori are not particularly gifted, but perhaps they often try to sing with the technique of estrangement taken from Brecht's theatre, or with the expressionist technique used by certain poets in their readings.

We should consider that Umberto Fiori is a very refined writer and poet, he is more of a scholar than a singer. Consider that in Italy, the best literary critics speak of his poems. His passage in the Stormy Six represents only a small part of his life.

Franco Fabbri, on the other hand, is a great music expert, a true musicologist, who is more of a guitarist than a vocalist.
