Latte e Miele

Latte e Miele  is an Italian progressive rock musical group.

The group formed in 1971 in Genoa. In 1972 they realized  their most famous work, the concept album  Passio secundum Mattheum, with part of music inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach  and recitatives from the Gospel of Matthew. After having opened the concerts of Van der Graaf Generator, in 1973 they released another concept album, Papillon, and disbanded in 1974. The group reformed in 1976, with only Alfio Vitanza from the original line-up, and with the name of the group spelled as "LatteMiele". After the album  Aquile e scoiattoli, best known for its 23-minutes-suite "Pavana", they gradually abandoned the progressive style and approached pop-rock. After disbanding in the early 1980s, the original line-up reunited in 2008.
