'In English their name means 'milk and honey', inicating their religious backgrounds. The band formed in Genova in 1970 at a very young age, inspired by the first album of Emerson, Lake And Palmer. At their first public appearance in 1972, their drummer was on 16 years old! Their first album Passio Secundum Mattheum was a surprisingly mature work, being a rock opera based on the Gospel of St. Matthew. This work included choral voices and musical references to J.S. Bach's "Messa Requiem". This is classical rock stripped of the conceited keyboards solos the Keith Emerson pioneered. The massive keyboards of Oliver Lacagnina don't emphasize his technical abilities, but are aimed at bringing keyboards to the fore. Some of the 'orchestral' parts are performed on the mellotron. Marcello Dellacasa's acoustic and electric guitars also have an important supplemental role. The overall result is a very good fusion of progressive rock and classical music with excellent production values! ---- Papilllon was a more light-hearted and lively work, dominated by the 20-minute title track in seven acts plus the overture, probably Latte E Meile's finest single work. Marcello' Dellacasa's fine vocals were occasionally given more space on the cosmic fable of a puppet, with superb instrumental interludes. This doesn't mean that Latte E Meile let their classical roots wither on the vine. ""Patetica" was an adaption of Beethoven's piano sonata with added rock references to Mozart and Vivaldi. The last track on the album, "Strutture" veered more towards jazz-rock comparable to the Canterbury sound.' - Scented Gardens Of The Mind
