La maschera di cera

La Maschera di Cera is an Italian progressive rock project led by Fabio Zuffanti, formed in Genoa in 2001. The project revives 1970s Italian prog sounds (Mellotron, organ, flute) and features vocalist Alessandro Corvaglia and keyboardist Agostino Macor among contributors. Reviews highlight Zuffanti's bass and compositional role and the project's faithful homage to classic Italian prog.

LuxAde (2006) was produced with involvement from Franz Di Cioccio (PFM) as producer. Le porte del domani was released also in an English version titled "The Gates of Tomorrow" with a different mix. The band has performed live in several European countries (Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain). The project's sound often emphasizes vintage keyboards and flute and frequently avoids electric guitar, using Fabio Zuffanti's distorted bass as a prominent element.

La Maschera di Cera is an Italian progressive rock project led by Fabio Zuffanti, active since 2001.
