A lot of Italian artists, I fear, have been systematically admitted under the RPI sub-genre despite leanings that might qualify them for other sub-genres. Without complaint or chastisement, can you help me find "Classic Era" artists from Italy who might fall under the Prog Folk category? I've already been exposed to:

 MAXOPHONE, 
STEFANO TESTA, 
CELESTE, 
REALE ACCADEMIA DI MUSICA, 
CANZIONIERE DEL LAZIO and 
CARNASCIALIA 

Do you know of any others?

Stormy Six (in RIO, but started as PF)

Already in PF
Saint Just
Pierrot Lunaire

Celeste is a bit like Harmonium (especially that 70's album), stuck between symphonic & folk.
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

Thanks, Hugues. I forgot about early Stormy Six--and I have Pierrot Lunaire. both must not have impressed me too much cuz they didn't rate high enough to be included in my Top 60 Classic Era RPI albums. So, I'm still looking . . .

Hi,

From the early days of Guy Guden's show:

Il Volo was played (in 1977) and there were more, but I have to re-check the  listings. The stuff on the net, does not seem to fit what I remember at all.

Thirsty Moon (Blitz)(in 1976), but I don't think that was Italian, and not quite prog-folk.

Franco Battiato though he might not fit in the description. Played quite early in the show.

Aqua Fragile. All their albums. A nice rock band, and it was too bad that BL left them. It killed the band. Both '73 and '74 albums.

Real Academie de Musica. I think first appeared in 1977

Both Le Orme and Banco had been a part of the show since its start in January 1974.

Sensation's Fix. He's actually an American, but everything was done in Italy. More rock than anything else but very nice.

There probably were others I missed ...

I'll listen to the last 4 listed. The "Celeste" album on the net is definitely not one from the 70's at all ... meaning that there might be another band with the same name?

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
