3 stars Very little known about this infamous band from the region of Romagna, however their only release is highly praised among progressive rock fans.FOGLIE DI VETRO were Danielle Bronzetti on vocals/drums,Matteo Benvenuti on guitars,Carlo Pari on piano/keyboards and Marco Marcheti on bass.Initially they recorded a four-track demo and all of these tracks found the way into the debut of the band.1996 was the year when FOGLIE DI VETRO officially entered the progressive rock scene with their self-titled debut.

A good effort of recaptured 70's spirit with modern aesthetics,''Foglie di vetro'' contains eight track of melodic Symphonic Rock with intense lyrical approach and obvious influences by PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI and BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO.What is trully memorable from this release is the heavy piano textures of Carlo Pari,who offers smooth yet rich slighlty Classical passages, which really dominate the album.The interplays with the guitar of Benvenuti are also of first class,however the band is very far from trying to sound bombastic or complex.Benvenuti presents also a good amount of inspired solos as well as a few acoustic-driven passages,at times in collaboration with Bronzetti's flute, where the 70's spirit seems trully alive and strong.Bronzetti is also responsible for the vocal work of the album...a warm and expressive voice,suitable in the atmospheric mood of the album.FOGLIE DI VETRO did not manage to go further than a single album yet this comes strongly recommended to those who search for good and melodic Symphonic Rock in the classic tradition of the 70's giants...Good but definitely not essential...3 stars...
