Gruppo d’Alternativa was formed in Milano in the early 70’s and managed to release one album (named “Ipotesi”) before they splitted and drowned into futher obscurity. Some could consider them as a ‘proto-RIO’ band due to their activity long before the first RIO movement in the late 70’s, and their alternative and experimental prog-rock sound confirms this well although they also reveal some notable Jazz-Rock/Canterbury influences in their sound.
