Le Orme

Italian Progressive Rock Band

Le Orme is an Italian progressive rock band that became one of the leading bands in the Italian progressive rock scene during the 1970s. Formed in 1966 in Marghera, a district of Venice, the band initially had a beat music style before shifting towards progressive rock in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The group's classic lineup consisted of Aldo Tagliapietra on vocals and bass, Toni Pagliuca on keyboards, and Michi Dei Rossi on drums. They achieved significant success both in Italy and internationally with their concept album "Felona e Sorona" (1973), which was produced by Peter Hammill of Van der Graaf Generator and is often considered one of their masterpieces.
