The band became also one of the few in #Italy to be associated with Rock In Opposition movement (#RIO) started in the UK by πŸ‘‰ Henry Cow.

#DonellaDelMonaco βˆ’ vocals
#AlfredoTisocco βˆ’ keyboards
#LucianoTavella βˆ’ flute
#PierdinoTisato βˆ’ drums
#EnricoProfessione, #PieregidioSpiller βˆ’ violin

πŸ“ Borges Labyrinth in the island of #SanGiorgio, Venice since 2011.

More than 3000 plants placed to create the name of one of the most important and influential writers of the past century: Jorge Luis Borges from Argentina, whose most loved place in the world was of course Venice ❀️

The whole island itself is amazing, have you ever visited it?
