Some more Italian prog. This album was apparently Progarchives' #4 album of 2013! I feel guilty not knowing about it...

####Potential Discussion Questions:
-
So over in Italy, prog is actually really big (and it has been since the 70s). I know a lot of the classic proggers were extremely well-received in Italy, and it also spawned a ton of great prog itself. How would you rate this album against some of Italy's finest?
-
How would you personally rate the album?
-
Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
