Per Grazia Ricevuta
Per Grazia Ricevuta, often abbreviated as P.G.R., is an Italian band led by Giovanni Lindo Ferretti. The band grew out of the ashes of his previous project Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti, which disbanded following the departure of long-time collaborator Massimo Zamboni. Their name Per Grazia Ricevuta'' ("For a Received Grace"), also marks a change. It is a stock phrase usually attached to mementos acknowledging miraculous divine gifts, and reflects Lindo Ferretti's rediscovery of his Catholic roots following a long career of radical left activism. PGR's lineup changed with the release of the album ''D’anime e d’animali'' (2004), when founding members Ginevra Di Marco and Francesco Magnelli departed. As a response, the band's acronym was slightly changed into PG3R (''Però Gianni Giorgio Giovanni Resistono'', meaning "Yet Gianni Giorgio and Giovanni Resist"). In 2006 PGR performed a tour around Italy entitled 'Ripasso / Ribassi - Saldi, fino ad esaurimento scorte’ (Revisi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti
Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti (C.S.I.; English: ''Consortium of Independent Players'') is an Italian band that evolved from the former punk/art band CCCP Fedeli alla linea. C.S.I. were founded in 1992 by Giovanni Lindo Ferretti and Massimo Zamboni, along with original members of the Italian band Litfiba. The naming conventions of the band followed political changes occurring around the time of the fall of the Berlin wall. Whereas the earlier band's name referenced the Cyrillic lettering for SSSR (i.e. USSR), "CSI" follows the conventions of the Italian acronym for the newly established Commonwealth of Independent States. After Zamboni departed in 2000, the remaining members of C.S.I. continued in the form of Per Grazia Ricevuta. C.S.I. split in 2001.
