Per Grazia Ricevuta

Per Grazia Ricevuta, often abbreviated as P.G.R., is an Italian band led by Giovanni Lindo Ferretti.

For the film, see Between Miracles.

The band grew out of the ashes of his previous project Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti, which disbanded following the departure of long-time collaborator Massimo Zamboni. Their name 'Per Grazia Ricevuta ("For a Received Grace"), also marks a change. It is a stock phrase usually attached to mementos acknowledging miraculous divine gifts, and reflects Lindo Ferretti's rediscovery of his Catholic roots following a long career of radical left activism.

Per Grazia Ricevuta concert in 2006

PGR's lineup changed with the release of the album D’anime e d’animali (2004), when founding members Ginevra Di Marco and Francesco Magnelli departed. As a response, the band's acronym was slightly changed into PG3R (Però Gianni Giorgio Giovanni Resistono, meaning "Yet Gianni Giorgio and Giovanni Resist"). In 2006 PGR performed a tour around Italy entitled 'Ripasso / Ribassi - Saldi, fino ad esaurimento scorte’ (Revision / Discounts - Sales while Stock Lasts). With the release of 2009's Ultime notizie di cronaca, the band announced its dissolution.

gollark: That and the giant binary blobs.
gollark: LyricLy claims that it was obviously mine because of the formatting and use of numpy. This is wrong and ridiculous. The real reason it was obviously mine is that it does the usual gollark thing of just implementing a weird algorithm and not doing much else.
gollark: They scheduled it for 24 hours, bee.
gollark: Anyway, since LyricLy is done lyricing, it is time for me to ramble incoherently about my entry (#7±5).
gollark: Alternatively, just add a backdoor and do it later. Somehow nobody noticed me doing that in #9. Anyway, I *do* have a cool image-based esolang sitting around to use somewhere. Maybe I could incorporate that.
