Il Balletto di Bronzo (translation: "The Bronze Ballet") is an Italian progressive rock band from Naples.

"Ti risveglierai con me", a track from the album, plays over the end credits for the 1970 film Five Dolls for an August Moon.

[2] Despite breaking up in the early 1970s, Il Balletto di Bronzo continued to exert an influence, mostly on the strength of their second album.

In the late 1990s, Gianni Leone reformed the band as a trio, recording the live album Trys.

In 2013 Lino Ajello and Marco Cecioni reformed the band but the name "Balletto di Bronzo" continues to belong to the prog trio of Gianni Leone[citation needed] who however, participated in the recording of "CUMA 2016 DC".
