Ars Nova

Band,
Rock and R&B/Soul

Progressive rock quartet from Rome, Italy, formed in 1974 by the Piergiovanni brothers, coming from Cassa del Comune Accordo. They recorded only two singles during their career and Mellow Records released in 2002 a posthumous CD, which includes studio and live tracks recorded between 1974-79. Musically the group is often compared with Officina Meccanica, with progressive-inspired tracks along with more pop-oriented songs. Since the end of 1978, when the original guitarist and drummer left, the group became a six-piece, with brothers Luigi and Stefano Piergiovanni joined by the guitarist Romano Carboni, twin keyboardists Riccardo Gnerucci and Pasquale del Duca, drummer Stefano Falcone, and this line-up survived until the break up at the end of 1980. 1974-78: o Luigi Piergiovanni (vocals) o Pietro Eugeni (guitar) o Stefano Piergiovanni (bass) o Stefano Riccioni (drums) 1978-89: o Luigi Piergiovanni (vocals) o Romano Carboni (guitar) o Riccardo Gnerucci (keyboards) o Pasquale del Duca (keyboards) o Stefano Piergiovanni (bass) o Stefano Falcone (drums)
