**Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM)** is Italy’s legendary prog-rock pioneers, blending symphonic grandeur with rock energy since 1970. Hailing from Milan, the band—whose quirky name translates to “Award-Winning Marconi Bakery”—became Italy’s first rock act to break internationally, enchanting audiences with lush instrumentals, poetic Italian lyrics, and virtuosic flute, violin, and keyboard work. Albums like *Storia di un minuto* and *Per un amico* cemented their status as prog icons, mixing classical influences with jazz-rock experimentation.
Still rocking after 50+ years, PFM keeps evolving. Recent releases like *Emotional Tattoos* and *I Dreamed of Electric Sheep* showcase their knack for storytelling and genre-blending, while live albums like *PFM Canta De André Anniversary* celebrate their iconic 1970s collaborations with late Italian folk legend Fabrizio De André. Whether revisiting classics or crafting new adventures (like their English-language *Worlds Beyond*), PFM remains a dynamic force—proof that prog never gets stale.
