Italo house is a form of house music popular in Italy in the late 1980s that fuses house and Italo disco.

Italo house was also popular in the rave scene in the United Kingdom and United States, where the piano influence is evident in their early techno rave, breakbeat hardcore and 4-beat styles.

 Italo disco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the main influences during this period was the producer Giorgio Moroder, as well as the cynical styles of such electropop acts as Telex, Devo, and Gary Numan, and the early Hi-NRG albums released by San Francisco producer Patrick Cowley with such singers as Sylvester and Paul Parker.
It was also the year that the term italo disco was reputedly coined by Bernhard Mikulski, the founder of ZYX Music (Germany), when ZYX released their first volume of "The Best of Italo Disco" series.
Italo disco developed a cult following in the early 1990s, and electro releases in 1993 by I-F, in 1998 by Legowelt and Tobias Bernstrup, and in 2000 by Jeans Team, Bangkok Impact, and Hong Kong Counterfeit were among those that fuelled renewed interest.

The similarity between synthpop and Italo disco was probably very off-putting to the throngs of classic rock lunkheads, who by 1985 were already mounting their rock revival in the form of hair metal and MOR classic rock (e.g., Loverboy).
One of the key of a popular succses is the visibility, so if Italo was not visible in the USA during 80s, it was hard for this style to make a hit only with imported records.

The Dolphins return after their triumphant "House Panic", which caught the ears of such elite DJ trendsetters as Tiga and Playgroup and quickly found it's way on to platters world-wide and brought new meanings to the words "Italo", "House", and "Rock N Roll".

Undoubtedly influenced by Motown's assembly-line aesthetic (as well as the '80s British dance team of Stock, Aitken & Waterman), Bortolotti coordinated the work of longtime producers DJ ProfXor, RAF and DJ Pierre (not the Chicago producer) to create dozens of European club/chart hits under the aliases Cappella, 49ers, Fargetta, RAF, Clubhouse and East Side Beat.
For good or ill, Bortolotti's productions were most responsible for the Italian house phenomenon of the late '80s and early '90s, based on an often-maligned push-button production blueprint which includes only the cheesiest of melodies, samples, piano lines and diva vocals.
Bortolotti recorded a Cappella album (the cash-in heavy Heylom Halib), and scored again with the singles "Be Master in One's Own House" and "House of Energy Revenge." To his credit, he did recruit seminal diva Loleatta Holloway for the single "Take Me Away," less successful than the chart-entries but much better.
