This Italian prog realm is really vast: one can appreciate classical music roots (New Trolls) folk oriented music (Delirium) jazzy and complex compositions (Area) avant-garde (Stormy Six) and of course, what predominates, symphonic progressive rock (PFM, Quella Vecchia Locanda, Biglieto per L’Inferno).
Sadly, a lot of those bands only managed to release one album and then disbanded (Cervello, for example). And in the music we can appreciate a special theatrical flavor. It is common to see beautiful cover arts in the Italian albums - painting has always inspired them (some musicians were/are painters). Hundreds of bands were created, all of them with trained and talented musicians, whose love for arts influenced them in their creative process. With the arrival of a new decade (70s) this movement often known as RPI reached its climax. A movement that saw its dawn in the late sixties, with a bunch of singers/songwriters who wanted to share their talent and make an artistic movement parallel to the political problems they had at that time.
One of the most prolific, original, and in my opinion, beautiful scenes regarding progressive rock has to be the Italian one.
