The Profile

Italian progressive-rock group from San Giorgio a Cremano (Naples), led by Antonio Cavallaro (known as Fabio Celi); best known for the album Follia and a handful of singles recorded between 1968 and 1971.

Formation in San Giorgio a Cremano in the late 1960s by Antonio Cavallaro (Fabio Celi). Singles include the 1968 45 RPM (T'Ho Vista Piangere / Un Milione Di Baci) and the 1971 single Via Gaetano Argento 80141 Napoli / Fermi Tutti È Una Rapina. The LP Follia is said to have been recorded in 1969 and the group made a TV appearance on Adesso Musica in 1975. The record faced censorship by RAI according to the reviews. Line-up listed in reviews: Fabio Celi (Keyboards, Vocals), Ciro Ciscognetti (Keyboards), Luigi Coppa (Guitar, Harmonica), Rino Fiorentino (Bass), Roberto Ciscognetti (Drums, Percussion). Notable stage theatrics included emerging from a coffin and being restrained in a straitjacket during performances.

The reviews present Fabio Celi e Gli Infermieri as an Italian progressive-rock group from San Giorgio a Cremano whose 1969 LP Follia mixes prog and R'n'B with sharp social and political critique. The record faced RAI censorship and remained largely obscure despite a 1975 TV appearance. The band's stage theatrics and outspoken lyrics are repeatedly noted. Lineup and two singles (1968, 1971) are documented in the reviews.
