QVL is my fave
but A+M is not symphonic and neither is Picchio Dal Pozzo nor Area

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

PICCHIO DAL POZZO was formed in GENOVA in the second half of the seventies.They released their debut album for the GROG label ,VITTORIO DE SCALZI's own company.GROG RECORDS gathered the best local bands around , among them CELESTE surely deserves the most important mention. However -musically in contrast with MANDILLO ,of the same country, (trivial pop) and CELESTE (prog-rock) , PICCHIO DAL POZZO offers a rather fragmentary mix of genres, very close to jazz, rock, and avantgarde music, almost crossover.Their self-titled first work IS DEDICATED TO ROBERTO VIATTI, THAT IS THE GREAT BRITISH MUSICIAN ROBERT WYATT, INSPIRING THEIR STYLE. The keyboards player ALDO DE SCALZI is fondumental in PICCHIO DAL POZZO 's line-up; he's the brother of VITTORIO , famous guitarist of NEW TROLLS. Several guest musicians take part in the recording sessions for PICCHIO DAL POZZO in 1976: CIRO PERRINO (CELESTE's percussionist) , PUCCI COCHIS (JET's drummer) , and VITTORIO DE SCALZI too, on flute.
In 1980 PDP released their second work titled "ABBIAMO TUTTI I SUOI PROBLEMI" , which is again a successful mix between rock and avantgarde jazz.This time their label is the COOPERATIVA L'ORCHESTRA, a record company formed by STORMY SIX.
Unforfunately PDP disdanded after only 2 albums.

I chose "Le Orme" because that group did not change much over the years. PFM and Banco drifted away from prog a little during the 80s.
I bought Locanda Delle Fate's "Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Più" and found it simply BEAUTIFUL.

I voted for RDM... but this poll have the same problem that I had in a similar poll that I made last month: too many excellent bands are not mentioned here:
CONSORZIO ACQUA POTABILE
MONTEFELTRO (Attilo Virgilio is one of the best musicians and composers that I've been heard the last years)
LOCANDA DELLE FATE
PICCHIO DAL POZO
I TEOREMI
IL CASTELLO DE ATLANTE
NUOVA ERA
ARIA PALEA
A PIEDI NUDI
ABIOGENESI
LA CORTE DEI MIRACOLI
and many others... But, is really good to know that more and more people are listening Italian Prog Rock... cheers!!

Tough choice - Darwin is one of the most original prog albums in general, but my vote goes to Le Orme who are better in some aspects than ELP.

Italy besides UK for me is the best prog country... the bands are great...
My favourite italian album is YS by Il Balleto di Bronzo
i love Deus ex Machina but they´re a little symphonic and fusion for me...
Area and Devil Doll are both good bands but they´re not symphonic

my favorite is Picchio dal Pozzo but they are not on

A mix of Lard Free and Robert Wyatt influences with
that Italian touch!
