Dallaglio - Sera-Mattina (Reissue) (1972/1994)

Gianni Dall'Aglio is from Mantua and was born in 1945. His music career started early and he was a busy session drummer from the early 1960s on. He was in a beat band called I Ribelli which for a time had Demetrio Stratos as vocalist. The list of people he has collaborated with through the years is formidable: Lucio Battisti, Ricky Gianco, Mogol, Alberto Radius, Ivano Fossati, and Oscar Prudente among others. He would also become the drummer for a group popular with RPI fans, Il Volo.

He released his lone proggy album in 1972, called Sera, Mattina for Love Records. It's a solid collection of tracks somewhere between Ital-pop and prog, leaning perhaps too much to the former for some. While perhaps a borderline addition to prog-rock sites and certainly not essential RPI, there are many good moments which should interest RPI fans. Dall'Aglio would continue performing in later years, participate in Ribelli reunions, and also operate a music school. His 1972 album would be reissued on CD by Mellow Records in 1993.
