  A definition of Progressive Rock
Progressive rock ("prog") is an ambitious, eclectic, and often grandiose style of rock music which arose in the late 1960s principally in England, reaching the peak of its popularity in the early 1970s, but continuing as a musical form to this day.
Progressive rock artists sought to move away from the limitations of radio formatted rock and pop, and "progress" rock to the point that it could achieve the sophistication of jazz or classical music.
Rock and Pop Bands and Artists after 1970 who were not truly “prog” (as that term is generally and broadly defined, even by the site), but who were clearly not “mainstream” or simply “rock” bands.

 Rock music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rock is a form of popular music from the mid 20th century which typically features a vocal melody (often with vocal harmony) that is supported by accompaniment of electric guitars, a bass guitar, and drums, often with a strong back beat.
The culmination of rock and roll as a socially-unifying force was seen in the rock festivals of the late '60s, the most famous of which was Woodstock which began as a three-day arts and music festival and turned into a "happening", as hundreds of thousands of youthful fans converged on the site.
If punk rock was a social and musical phenomenon, it garnered little in the way of record sales (small specialty labels such as Stiff Records had released much of the punk music to date) or American radio airplay, as the radio scene continued to be dominated by mainstream formats such as disco and album-oriented rock.

Italian rappers and those of Italian origin from around the world met to discuss and debate the finer points of their art, their concerns and aspirations.
The earliest Italian rap, which developed throughout the 1980's, was for the most part a direct emulation of what was happening in the Bronx.

 Italian Progressive music
The unique thing about Italian progressive from the seventies can be explained by several reasons.

Some others were into jazz rock, and so on.

The Italian prog rock I’ve heard (I consider myself merely a dabbler at this point) is florid, complexly structured, virtuosic, impassioned—over the top in almost every way imaginable, right down to the album cover art.
Italian prog-rock groups also typically boast flamboyant vocalists who can sing their asses off.
Just to be clear, my mild obsession with Italian prog started in 1997, thanks to some enlightened friends (in Dallas!) turning me on to its baroque pleasures.

Ermanno jumps in to say he is convinced “that historically, Italian music, operatic music has taught to the rest of the world how to do it and how to reach success without necessarily understanding the lyrics”.

I would definitely categorize this album as Arena Rock, with possible comparisons to Styx, Foreigner and the like, but with (neo-)proggier leanings and a guitarist who obviously likes Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd)'s guitar style, since his solos are frequently in the same vein (they actually do a cover of PF's "Time" on this album...
