I love PFM, as they are the fathers of Italian prog. But you forgot to
also list the newer group called "The Watch." They write original
music(not a tribute band), but in the style and presentaion of early
Gabriel/Hackett era Genesis. They are excellent clones, and when
hearing their music you might think you have discovered a early "lost"
Genesis album. Check out the album called "Vaccum." Great album of
Italian symphonic prog.

my favorite is Picchio dal Pozzo but they are not on
the list. A mix of Lard Free and Robert Wyatt influences with that Italian touch!

Ah the beauty of Italian prog ... I've heard more than 20 albums so far and all are four or five star albums!!!! PFM for me ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.” "No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |

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

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. ------------- yet you still have time! |

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!! ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |

they were a jazz-rock band heavly oriented on experimentation...their music is far from being symphonic. ------------- La Speranza della coscienza è forza La Speranza del sentimento è schiavitù La Speranza del corpo è malattia (G.I. Gurdjieff) |

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. ------------- Semm che, semm che settà giò in del bar / a cercà l'universo nel bucèer del Cynar cosmonauti al tavolino cun la sigareta in bùca / che vemm a cambià el mund apena finissum la sambuca |

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. |

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 |
