Italian band formed in 1966, in Marghera, Venice, originally by the members Aldo Tagliapietra, Nino Smeraldi (guitars), Claudio Galietti (bass and guitars) and Marino Rebeschini (drums).

In 1970, with the rise of Progressive Rock, they finally decide to join the genre with the album "L' Aurora", since now they lose the members Galietti and Smeraldi. Now in their Progressive era, they begin to gain success around Europe, mainly in UK, also winning two gold records. In 1971, they release Collage, wich shows greater maturity in their compositions. In 1972, with the album "Uomo di Pezza", they record with a orchestra for the first time.

In 1973, they release one of their masterpieces, "Ferona and Sorona", whose context talks about the interaction between two distinct planets.

In 1974, they release "Contrappunti", repeating the same success from their previous albums, and "In Concerto", that was their fisrt live record.
