La Villa Strangiato is an Italian project started in 2010 by Gabriele Ferrari and Carlo Fattorini, two Roman musicians who previously worked together in Yessongs Italy. The purpose is to revive Rush's production from the 1970s and early 1980s. The band formed in 2010 and presented their first show, dedicated to Exit Stage Left, in Rome in March 2011. They have played in clubs across Europe, achieving the perfect sound with Claudio Sinisi on guitar. This is a tribute band to the Canadian progressive and hard rock band Rush.
