As one of the few resident Italians here, I'd like to put paid to a common misconception. Although the subgenre on PA bears the name of Italian Symphonic Prog, at least half of those bands are not Symphonic at all. In fact, with the exception of Le Orme, Banco and PFM, most of the big acts of the Italian Seventies played music that was much more varied, including influences from the Italian folk tradition, heavy, Hammond-based prog, opera, church music, jazz, blues, and what not. 


All the more reason to create a 'prog movements' feature on the site, to destroy all these miss-conceptions and enlighten all with an overview of each major movement

We are actually addressing this very thing with our schools in Symphonic. The Swedish movement was one of the first we recognized, and is seen as the catalyst of a new era in the '90s. We have also discovered several other such things. We have een working on this for a long time now. Once it is implemented, M@X may create links. As you can imagine, this is a monumental task, and takes time. This is especially true when still receiving many new artist submissions, and getting sidetracked by other unforeseen events. But when it is done, our hope its that will shed some light on many of these unique relationships.
