Wilson Project

Wilson Project is an Italian progressive rock band that combines the atmosphere of the '70s with a modern and personal sound. Their style merges tradition and innovation, shaped by influences from Italian prog legends like PFM and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, as well as British icons Genesis and ELP.

They have performed with Giorgio "Fico" Piazza (ex-PFM) and opened for historic bands such as New Trolls, Le Orme, Osanna and PFM. Notable achievements include winning the Critics' Award at the PEM Festival (2022), the Intervallo...Prog contest (2023), and performing at the 2Days Prog + 1 Festival (2023).

In July 2022 they released their debut album Il Viaggio da Farsi (distributed by Ma.Ra.Cash Records), a concept album that narrates the story of a journey to Mars, portraying the conflicting emotions of a woman who leaves the Earth in search of a new beginning, exploring the border between reality and illusion.

Their second album, Atto Primo, coming out in March 2025 and distributed by Ma.Ra.Cash Records, is their tribute to opera, reinterpreting its theatricality and emotional intensity through the language of progressive rock. Each track is dedicated to a famous opera and composer, reworking elements of the operatic tradition into a fresh, innovative form. The album blends the band's signature expressive freedom with the dramatic atmospheres of musical theatre, inviting listeners to discover its references while evoking emotion and leaving room for the imagination.
