''Uomo di pezza'' is an album by the Italian
progressive rock band
Le Orme. It was released in 1972 and was one of their best selling works, which won an Italian award ''disco d'oro''.
Compared to the previous album, it shows many more classical elements: the opening of the album, for example, is a
chaconne of
Johann Sebastian Bach, played on piano by
Gian Piero Reverberi. Furthermore, Tony Pagliuca plays a synthesizer for the first time.

The title ''Uomo di pezza'' means " rag doll man". The doll character comes from the lyrics of the song "Gioco di bimba". The lyrics of ''Uomo di pezza'' describe a helpless masculine attitude, juxtaposed to an unknown, inscrutable feminine universe.
