About Premiata Forneria Marconi

Premiata Forneria Marconi, often abbreviated as PFM, is a pioneering Italian progressive rock band that emerged from Milan in the late 1960s. Originally performing under the name I Quelli, they rebranded as Premiata Forneria Marconi in the early 1970s, quickly establishing themselves as one of Italy’s most influential rock acts. Their debut album under the new name, "Storia di un Minuto" (1972), set the stage for their breakthrough follow-up, "Per un Amico" (1972). This album caught the attention of Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s Greg Lake, leading to a landmark invitation to London.

In London, PFM connected with Pete Sinfield, famed lyricist for King Crimson and Roxy Music, who collaborated with the band as producer and lyricist. This partnership resulted in "Photos of Ghosts" (1973), an English-language reworking of "Per un Amico" that significantly expanded their audience. To better navigate international markets, they shortened their name to PFM. Their third album, "L'isola di Niente" (1974), was also released as "The World Become the World" for English-speaking fans. Following extensive touring, PFM released the live album "Cook" (retitled "Live in U.S.A." in Italy) and "Chocolate King" (1975), their first full English-language album, which earned them a deal with Elektra Asylum Records.

They continued their international presence with "Jet Lag" (1977), their final album targeting the U.S. market before refocusing on Italy. Subsequent records like "Passpartù" and "Suonare Suonare" reinforced their signature blend of melodic Italian sensibility with progressive rock. After a hiatus, Premiata Forneria Marconi returned with "Ulisse" (1997) and "Serendipity" (2000), cementing their legacy as enduring icons of Italian progressive music known for their innovative sound and international reach.
