Not too many books and other sources of information on Italian prog, especially for non-Italian language readers.

Here are some of my main sources of information, starting with the Italian ones:

ESSAYS AND STUDIES

MUSIC IN THE CITIES

the French ones:

 

and a Japanese one, containing black & white pictures of all the records described, but difficult to understand for non-Japanese readers.
Please notice that my own ItalianProg book (see the top of this page) is also available in Japanese.
