The roots of Utopia 239 date back to 1971 when in a village of the province of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vercelli" rel="nofollow - Vercelli called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignana" rel="nofollow - Lignana four friends formed a band to play covers and compose original stuff inspired by Italian canzone d’autore and progressive rock bands such as Pink Floyd or Le Orme. During their early years the band never had the chance to properly record and release an album and they split up at the end of the seventies. It wasn’t until 2002 that some of the old members reunited and decided to rework on their early repertoire taking it back from oblivion. In 2015 they finally self-released a debut album entitled I giorni dell’utopia (The days of Utopia) with a renewed line up featuring along with the veterans Massimo Cagliero (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Ugo Giva Magnetti (guitar, vocals) and Fausto Garella (drums, percussion, vocals) also Fabrizio Gallina Sabarino (keyboards, synth), Enrico Barbano (electric and classical guitar), Fosca Zanone (vocals, classical guitar) and Alberto Bocchio (bass).
