Biography

Venezia, Italy (1966 – present)

Le Orme is one of the longest lasting and best known Italian progressive rock bands.

The band was formed in Venice in 1966 by Aldo Tagliapietra (voice, guitars), Nino Smeraldi (guitars), Claudio Galietti (guitar and bass) and Marino Rebeschini (drums). Their first album, Ad Gloriam, was released in 1968. From their psychedelic and beat roots, they moved into increasingly sophisticated musical structures. Their 1973 album Felona e Sorona is widely regarded as one of the top albums in Italian progressive rock. By this time the band consisted of Tagliapietra (mostly on bass, with some guitar) along with keyboard player Tony Pagliuca, and drummer Michi Dei Rossi. As the 1970s waned, Le Orme, like most progressive bands, shortened and simplified their music.

Starting in the late 1990s, a resurgence of interest in progressive rock led the band to revisit elements of their classic style, and the albums Il fiume (1999), Elementi (2001), and L’infinito (2004) have been received favourably in the progressive community.

    Le Orme, in Italia, sono stati i primi in molte cose: il disco Live, gli spettacoli teatrali fatti in un certo modo; e furono anche i primi ad incidere dei dischi all'estero (Londra, Los Angeles, Parigi). Grandi!!!

    L'altra sera ho visto Tolo,Aldo e Tony in concerto...anche se non possono più usare il nome le Orme sono loro il vero cuore di questo gruppo! un Live fantastico, emozionante e veramente di altissimo livello! consiglio a tutti gli Ormisti di andare a vederli e cantare assieme a loro!
