So if Rumple Stiltzken Comune would have had Italian lyrics, would they have been more difficult to place?

No, if their music had more in common stylistically with Italian prog as opposed to English prog, they would have been more difficult to place, regardless of language. If the language were Italian also, they would have been RPI, in my book. For me, the music comes first. The language is definitely important--and I vastly prefer prog in its native language--but the music comes first.

Thank you for a very good explanation. It's easy to think that the difference between Rock Progressivo Italiano and other Prog is just the language, even though it isn't. If I have understood everything correctly?
