Work based freely on The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi.
The most delightful of the many beautiful ideas which entwine in the Adventures of Pinocchio, appears at the very beginning of the book. Inside the simple piece of firewood which has somehow found its way into Mastro Cherry’s workshop, lies a “wee, little voice”, which complains of pain and laughs when it’s tickled.
From which space does this voice closed inside the wood originate? Who is this sprite, this irreverent and cheeky elf who wanders behind the scenes of the world?
We don’t know. Only one thing is certain. Pinocchio lives and has his very own psyche even before Geppetto begins to carve him and gives him a name…

Ah, the good old Italians and their (mostly) reliable sense of pretty lyricism. When something related to progressive rock is around the corner, it rarely fails.
Now, combine that with the musical theater approach of Nik Comoglio’s ambitious Tarot - La Spirale Del Tempo, and you have yourself an album chock-full of gentle melodies and other sorts of musical pleasantries that stands halfway between Finisterre and Broadway.
Sound dubious? Well, it isn’t. Not only is the album recorded with a pristinely clear production, but also Comoglio went ahead and got himself a small orchestra, a baritone, and a soprano to deliver the goods.
So, as far as regards instrumentation and sound, this Italian composer has everything down pat.
