1.

Venetia Et Anima (by Donella Del Monaco & Paolo Troncon; Opus Avantra)

Not RPI but with Donella Del Monaco (soprano voices, niece of the masterpiece tenor voice Mario Del Monaco). From my revirew: 'Donella write in the "Venetia Et Anima" that in "Biennale Musica 2003" (Venice) is codify the "Creative Solism", i.e. the idea of a performer who is "the author of himself, the performer's of other's writing, or the creator of a parallel score". And Donella continue: "I finally rediscovered the approach to music with which I have always had an affinity".'

L'Eliogabalo (Emilio Lo Curcio)

A great Rock opera. Basically not proper an RPI album, only with strong connection with RPI. Not an easy album!

3.  
4.44 | 5 ratings 
Shades of Time (Time Machine)

I consider this album as Prog Metal RPI for the atmospheres of music. In truth 'Shades Of Time' is only a Melodic Prog Metal album with the incredible voice of Morby but with strong connection with classic RPI.

Opera Prima (Rustichelli & Bordini)

A perfect RPI album. Symphonic? Well... No. Beautiful album that present extreme great Prog in the vein of pure true RPI. For all who love the great music!

5.

Storie Di Uomini E Non (Rocky's Filij)

RPI with Jazz Rock connections. No keyboards but saxes, clarino and trombone for this great band... Sure an album that we love from the first listen!

6.

Claudio Simonetti Compilation (Profondo Rosso)

Budget compilation by Claudio Simonetti with new version of Goblin and Horror films OST songs. This is not a compilation in the sense of compilation but compilation of verious songs. More close to Prog Metal... But extreme close to RPI!

7.  
3.24 | 5 ratings 
Antologia (era Di Acquario)

Acoustic album. Extreme interesting if you love the more melodic side of Prog.

8. 
3.27 | 7 ratings 
Sono Io Il Signore Delle Terre A Nord (Il Castello Di Atlante)

The definitive reborn of RPI. Not a perfect album... But fundamental for RPI.

9. 
3.21 | 6 ratings 
Antico Teatro Da Camera (Gianni D'Errico)

Great example of song songwriter in Prog field. Postomous. This is a concept album in the world of Honosexuality.

10.

Collezione (Dik Dik)

I've reviewed this album with 4 stras but today my evalutation is 5 stars. Not Prog but Beat. But if you love the great music (and not only the Prog) this is a perfect album for you. Also if you hate the compilations! 

And now... Your comments and lists!!!

	In my list: # 1 and 3 are not RPI... #1 is a great Avant Prog (also if Italian)...#3 are one of my preferred PM albums (and not because italian)... But also #10 is not proper a RPI album. That #10 be a PP music? I do not know!!! (#10, in any case, is an example of Italian Beat).
