REVIEWS 1973

Enrico used, as he does today, various sounds and combinations of acoustic and electric instruments as french horn, flutes, strings, organ, acoustic and electric guitar, drums, percussion and electric bass.
This concept, created by Enrico Rosa's composition is like a Symphony where the music relates a story with its deep emotions.
The name Campo di Marte (named after a quarter of Florence - Italy), was found during the first LP recording; the name Campo di Marte means Field of Mars and being Mars the ancient god of war, the metaphoric meaning became "Field of War"; in this relation the album lyrics referred to the foolishness of war, and to underline it, the cover contained a drawing of ancient Turkish mercenaries injuring themselves to demonstrate their strength and courage.
The same design was contained in the band's posters and it is Enrico Rosa's logo for Campo di Marte.
Campo di Marte is without any doubt one of the milestones of Italian Progressive Rock and essential in any Progressive Rock collection.
In 1994 the first album was reissued on CD and reviewed all over the world as a master piece of Italian Progressive Rock.

To day the original record is a very rare and high rated item for collectors world wide.

In 2003 Campo di Marte has been reformed by Enrico Rosa for some concerts in Tuscany - Italy and for the recording of a live CD "Concerto Zero" which has been the new very start of Campo di Marte.

The band is very much alive and "on the road" performing old and new compositions

by Enrico Rosa.
