Alberto said: “Dear all, as you may have read, I was going to give up music but my father (professor at the University of Padua and author of poems and tales) passed away 2 weeks ago … So I decided to make an album in his honor. It will be instrumental with incredible special guests such as Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), Mark Zonder (Fates Warning) and many more to be announced.
