Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) (translation: Award-winning Marconi Bakery) was were the first Italian group to have success abroad, entering both the British and American charts. Between 1973 and 1977 they released five albums with English lyrics. They also had several successful European and American tours, playing at the popular Reading Festival in England and on a very popular national television program in the United States. PFM introduced new sounds, such as the synthesizer, to the Italian musical world.

Such innovations and their longevity have earned PFM a place among the most important bands in the progressive rock genre.
