This is a very important band in the history and development of Rock Progressivo Italiano which is often described as a quintessential band in the late 60`s - early 70`s Italian rock scene, IL SISTEMA gave birth to great and very important bands such as CELESTE and MUSEO ROSEMBACH. This band had a three year career, first as a four piece, then with the fifth member Leonardo Lagorio joining them in 1971, during this time they could not release anything, but some good recordings were finally issued for the first time in 1991 on the double LP Il Viaggio Senza Andata.They were led by the keyboards of Floriano Roggero and by the sax and flute of the future member of CELESTE Leonardo Lagorio. Classical influences are clear, especially in their good rendition of MUSSORGSKY's Una Notte Sul Monte Calvo, they also show some similarities with MUSEO ROSEMBACH. After some relevant live appearances, the band split in 1971, with guitarist Enzo Merogno and horn player Lagorio forming MUSEO ROSEMBACH, while Ciro Perrino went later to form CELESTE. Cleared by the Italian Prog Team due to their music and importance in the development of the Italian Prog Movement.
