In the mid-70's, I was buying just about any album I saw in the import section by an Italian Prog band. But it wasn't until I heard tracks from "Photos of Ghosts" on the radio ("Celebration" and "River of Life") that I knew there was such a thing as Italian Prog. I'm sure that is the case for many of you that are close to my age. I remember reading decades ago that it was Lake who got PFM signed to Manticore, and later Emerson who pulled Banco into the fold. I'm sure I would have discovered Italian Prog at some point, but it probably would have been much later if not for ELP...
