http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/pfm__premiata_forneria_marconi_/photos_of_ghosts/"> Photos of Ghosts

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/pfm__premiata_forneria_marconi_ - PFM (Premiata Forneria Marconi)

No doubt about it, one of the best-known and finest of Italian prog bands. They actually even became known in America once they started recording in English for ELP's Manticore Records.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/banco_del_mutuo_soccorso/darwin_/"> Darwin!

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/banco_del_mutuo_soccorso - Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/le_orme/felona_e_sorona/"> Felona e Sorona

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/le_orme - Le Orme

This band actually started off as a psychedelic pop band in the late '60s, but then hopped on the prog bandwagon, after moving to Philips Records in 1971. Their best albums were released in the 1972-74 time period.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/goblin/suspiria/">

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/goblin - Goblin

Group best known for soundtracks to Dario Argento horror films. They do have about three non-soundtrack albums.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/new_trolls/concerto_grosso_per_i_new_trolls/"> Concerto Grosso Per i New Trolls

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/new_trolls - New Trolls

A group with a pretty eclectic history. Started off as a beat band, and moving to prog in the 1970s. Styles often ranged from pop to hard rock to classical.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/ibis/sun_supreme/"> Sun Supreme

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/ibis - Ibis

Group that consisted of New Trolls defectors (amongst them, Nico di Palo, and Maurizio Salvi) who preferred a heavier rock direction.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/cherry_five/cherry_five/"> Cherry Five

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/cherry_five - Cherry Five

Band with three Goblin members (including Claudio Simonetti and Fabio Pignatelli) with drummer Carlo Bordini and ex-L'Uovo di Colombo vocalist Tony Tartarini. Much more conventional prog here than Goblin, heavily influenced by Yes and ELP, with lots of Emerson and Wakeman-like keyboards.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/rustichelli_e_bordini/opera_prima/"> Opera Prima

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/rustichelli_e_bordini - Rustichelli E Bordini

Paolo Rustichelli was the son of film composer Carlo Rustichelli, and Carlo Bordini was future Cherry Five drummer. Paolo was a teenager when this album came out, and while he isn't the greatest of singers, his keyboard playing is incredible. It's also intersting to note this is entirely a keyboards/vocal/drums album, with absolutely no outside help!

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/luovo_di_colombo/luovo_di_colombo__mellow_/"> L'Uovo di Colombo %5bMellow%5d

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/luovo_di_colombo - L'Uovo Di Colombo

Keyboard-driven prog with future Cherry Five vocalist Tony Tartarini (who was going by the name Toni Gionta here). If you wondered how he sounds like singing in Italian (since he sung in English on the Cherry Five album), look here.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/the_trip__ita_/caronte/"> Caronte

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/the_trip__ita_ - The Trip [ITA]

The Trip is an odd one for inclusion. They actually started off as a British band, formed in London in 1967, as a beat band, but then moved to Italy and started acquiring Italian musicians, most notable being future Arti & Mestieri drummer Furio Chirico (who appeared on their final two albums). They of course, hopped on the prog bandwagon in the 1970s. Interesting note I just found out, when they were still a British band back in '67, they featured none other than Ritchie Blackmore! Of course, we all know what happened to him: he earned his fame and fortune once he hopped on board with Deep Purple.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/arti_and_mestieri/tilt/"> Tilt

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/arti_and_mestieri - Arti & Mestieri

This is where Furio Chiroco went to after The Trip released their final album, Time of Change and broke up. The music here is much more fusion-oriented prog than The Trip.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/semiramis/dedicato_a_frazz/"> Dedicato a Frazz

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/semiramis - Semiramis

Band consisting of future Italian pop star Michele Zarrillo (who was just 16 when this album came out), his brother Maurizio Zarillo, and apparently relatives completing the rest of the band (except for Michele, the rest of the band were 18 years old). For a 16 year old, Michele was quite an accomplished guitarist, and for the rest of the band, you'll never guess none of them were even 20 yet.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/osanna/palepoli/">

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/osanna - Osanna

Incredible band, with lots of great sax and flute work. Their English could be better, but they always did best singing in Italian.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/citta_frontale/el_tor/"> El tor

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/citta_frontale - Città Frontale

This band has a rather confusing history. If I remember right, an early version of Osanna was called this, with future Il Balletto di Bronzo guy Gianni Leone, this was before they ever got to record. After Osanna called it quits after Landscape of Life, then a couple of former members went and called this group Citta Frontale.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/uno/uno/"> Uno

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/uno - Uno

Another Osanna-related band.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/cervello/melos/"> Melos

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/cervello - Cervello

Osanna-related band, featuring guitarist Corrado Rustici, who was the younger brother of Osanna guitarist Danilo Rustici. Corrado did join Osanna during their demise in '74, and during their '78 reunion. He was also a member of Nova, and in America, playing with some truly horrendous commercial acts like Whitney Houston and George Michael. Melos is quite similar in atmosphere and structure to Palepoli, but Corrado's guitar playing was closer to John McLaughlin (who makes no bones about being one of his guitar heroes).

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/museo_rosenbach/zarathustra/">

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/museo_rosenbach - Museo Rosenbach

A truly amazing band, with lots of great guitar, Mellotron, and Hammond organ, with aggressive playing all around. Also quite controversial, leading people to think they were right-wing extremists or fascists (thanks to the lyrics being based on Nietzsche's philosophies, and a bust of Mussolini on the cover). But never mind that and enjoy the music, which demonstrates, in my book, everything that was great about prog in the 1970s.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/il_balletto_di_bronzo/ys/">

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/il_balletto_di_bronzo - Il Balletto Di Bronzo

First album, Sirio 2222 is said to be hard rock/psych that's of little interest to prog fans, but YS is a totally intense prog album with insane guitar and keyboard work.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/flea_on_the_honey/flea_on_the_honey/"> Flea on the Honey

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/flea_on_the_honey - Flea on the Honey

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/flea/topi_o_uomini/"> Topi O Uomini

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/flea - Flea

I believe Flea on the Honey/Flea was another Goblin related band. Attention Red Hot Chili Peppers fans: no, the bassist for the band didn't go solo, this is an Italian band.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/sensations_fix/fragments_of_light/"> Fragments of Light

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/sensations_fix - Sensations' Fix

Incredible band combining prog with spacy electronics.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/franco_falsini/cold_nose__naso_freddo_/"> Cold Nose %28Naso Freddo%29

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/franco_falsini - Franco Falsini

Sensations' Fix leader and main guy. Here, it's completely solo, guitar, Eminent, Moog, vocals. His only solo effort was a soundtrack to a never completed documentary film, on cocaine abuse.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/libra/winters_day_nightmare/"> Winter's Day Nightmare

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/libra - Libra

Here's an odd band. They're the only Italian band to ever record for Motown (at least their US releases). What was Berry Gordy thinking? You can be certain this isn't the Surpremes, Temptations, Stevie Wonder, or Marvin Gaye. The band was, to my understanding, Goblin related, and explored some prog.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/campo_di_marte/campo_di_marte/"> Campo Di Marte

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/campo_di_marte - Campo Di Marte

Band with future Sensations' Fix bassist Richard Ursillo. Only Italian prog act I know of on the United Artists label. Strangely this album also received a release in Argentina, and they gave the band a more Spanish name of Campo de Marte.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/etna/etna/"> Etna

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/etna - Etna

Another Goblin-related band.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/murple/io_sono_murple/"> Io Sono Murple

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/murple - Murple

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/area__ita_/arbeit_macht_frei/"> Arbeit Macht Frei

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/area__ita_ - Area [ITA]

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/il_reale_impero_britannico/perche_si_uccidono/"> Perchè Si Uccidono

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/il_reale_impero_britannico - Il Reale Impero Britannico

Yet another endless Goblin-related band, including ex-Cherry Five vocalist Tony Tartarini. Their only album, unsurprisingly, is a soundtrack album.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/reale_accademia_di_musica/reale_accademia_di_musica/"> Reale Accademia Di Musica

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/reale_accademia_di_musica - Reale Accademia Di Musica

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/celeste/celeste__aka_principe_di_un_giorno_/"> Celeste %28aka Principe di un giorno%29

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/celeste - Celeste

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/metamorfosi/inferno/"> Inferno

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/metamorfosi - Metamorfosi

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/biglietto_per_linferno/biglietto_per_linferno/"> Biglietto per l'inferno

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/biglietto_per_linferno - Biglietto Per L'inferno

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/baffo_banfi/ma_dolce_vita/"> Ma dolce vita

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/baffo_banfi - Baffo Banfi

Ex-Biglietto per L'Inferno keyboardist pursued a career in electronic music, in which he was discovered by Klaus Schulze and was recording for his Innovative Communications label.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/riccardo_zappa/celestion/">

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/riccardo_zappa - Riccardo Zappa

Guitarist who tended to the acoustic end of prog, kinda like Italy's answer to Mike Oldfield. My dad used to own a copy of Celestion way back when I was a small kid, I seriously doubt he knew what he was buying.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/il_paese_dei_balocchi/il_paese_dei_balocchi/"> Il Paese Dei Balocchi

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/il_paese_dei_balocchi - Il Paese Dei Balocchi

Heavily classically-influenced prog act who released one album in 1972, and many years later (1979), released a truly dreadful, pop-oriented single that was truly better off forgotten.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/locanda_delle_fate/forse_le_lucciole_non_si_amano_piu/"> Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Più

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/locanda_delle_fate - Locanda Delle Fate

Mellow-end of the Italian prog spectrum. Large, seven piece band, with vocalist, two guitarists, two keyboardists, a drummer, and a bassist. Thanks to the rise of punk and disco when Forse le Lucciole... came out in '77, the album pretty much went under, but regarded by many as one of the finest in the Italian prog scene.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/ezra_winston/ancient_afternoons/"> Ancient afternoons

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/ezra_winston - Ezra Winston

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/j_e_t_/fede__speranza__carita/"> Fede, Speranza, Carità

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/j_e_t_ - J.e.t.

Another one of those Italian prog bands similar in style to Biglietto per L'Inferno, Museo Rosenbach, Semiramis, etc., except this band predates them a bit earlier. J.e.t. is connected to the pop-oriented outfit Matia Bazar, as that band featured ex-J.e.t. members.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/matia_bazar/tango/"> Tango

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/matia_bazar - Matia Bazar

This band would not have been included had they not had connections to prog bands. This group featured the former Museo Rosenbach drummer, and ex-J.e.t. members.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/de_de_lind/io_non_so_da_dove_vengo_e_non_so_dove_mai_andro___/"> Io Non So Da Dove Vengo E Non So Dove Mai Andrò...

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/de_de_lind - De De Lind

I am pretty certain until Fiona Apple came around in 1999 with her album When the Pawn..., De De Lind's one and only album had the longest album title.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/stormy_six/macchina_maccheronica/"> Macchina Maccheronica

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/stormy_six - Stormy Six

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/finisterre/in_ogni_luogo/"> In ogni luogo

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/deus_ex_machina - Deus Ex Machina

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/rdm__rovescio_della_medaglia_/contaminazione/">

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/rdm__rovescio_della_medaglia_ - RDM (Rovescio Della Medaglia)

Started off as a hard rock outfit, with La Bibbia and Io Come Io, then went full on prog/classical with Contaminazione (in which they recorded an English-language version for the international market, Contamination) after they included a keyboardist. Great stuff.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/raccomandata_ricevuta_ritorno/per____un_mondo_di_cristallo/"> Per... un mondo di cristallo

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/raccomandata_ricevuta_ritorno - Raccomandata Ricevuta Ritorno

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/formula_3 - Formula 3

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/cico/notte/"> Notte

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/cico - Cico

Cico was actually none other than Toni Cicco, who was the drummer for Formula 3, who only managed one album on his own in 1974, after that band broke up.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/il_volo/essere_o_non_essere_/"> Essere o Non Essere

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/il_volo - Il Volo

52
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/acqua_fragile/acqua_fragile/"> http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/acqua_fragile - Acqua Fragile

This was the band Bernardo Lanzetti was in before joining PFM. PFM produced both their albums, by the way.

53
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/franco_battiato/fetus/"> http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/franco_battiato - Franco Battiato

Major fixture in the Italian pop scene, but this isn't your Eurovision Song Contest type of music, to be sure. He's explored prog, avant-garde, electronic, you name it!

60
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/jacula/tardo_pede_in_magiam_versus/"> http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/jacula - Jacula

Odd group that flirted with the occult and conducted séances, with tons of pipe organ, and Moog (usually used for sound effects). I have a real difficult time calling this rock. Not to everyone's taste, and I bet a few of you save this for Halloween, that is if you ever heard of this group.

61
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/comp/antonius_rex/anno_demoni/"> http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/antonius_rex - Antonius Rex

This is what happened to Jacula after their keyboardist Charles Tiring was given the boot, they changed their name to Antonius Rex, which was also the name given to band leader Antonio Bartoccetti. According to an interview with Bartoccetti, Charles Tiring was a madman, was hardly young at all (68 years old when Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus came out, leading me to believe his musical background had to be classical, rather than rock), and married to an 18 year old, which his antics apparently didn't endear himself to the rest of the band, so he was given the boot, and Antonius Rex was born.

62
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/pholas_dactylus/concerto_delle_menti__vinyl_magic_/"> http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/pholas_dactylus - Pholas Dactylus

Maybe musically, not the most surprising band out there, the ELP and Gentle Giant influences might be rather obvious, as well as certain Italian bands of the time, like Museo Rosenbach (and even one section influenced by early Pink Floyd and the Krautrock scene, like Ash Ra Tempel), but what separates this band from others is the "singer". Instead of singing, he does nothing but narrate. So upon first listen, you might get thrown off, because you expect him to sing any time, but never does.

http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/atlantide__ita_/francesco_ti_ricordi/"> http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/atlantide__ita_ - Atlantide [ITA]

Not to be confused with the French act (who were often accused of being a Yes ripoff, like Starcastle in America), who also released an album the same year as this Italian outfit. That's why RYM gives the [FR] tag for the French band and [IT] for this band, the Italian band. From my understanding, was this band members consisted completely of brothers, and while being Italian, they were residing in Germany since 1973.

Another one of those million artists that Mellow Records unearthed. This one is a Celeste-related band since the former drummer was in this band. Very unlike Celeste, the music is said to sound just like Ozric Tentacles! Except one major thing: this was recorded in 1979, before the Ozrics even existed! This recording never surfaced at the time, but it did in 1992, when Mellow Records finally unearthed it.

Electronic act that no one even knows who was involved or even their origins, but they did record for the Italian PDU label (who issued many German acts there like Ash Ra Tempel). Not sure if they should be on this list because so little is known about them.
