Locanda delle Fate (translated as The Fairy Inn) represents an Italian ensemble associated with the late period of the country's progressive rock movement.
The group was established in 1974, with vocalist Leonardo Sasso joining a year later in 1975. Their initial album, Forse le lucciole non si amano più (released by Polydor in 1977 and reissued in 1994 featuring an additional track), received favorable critical attention but achieved only modest sales. After producing two further singles, the band dissolved in 1980. They later reunited without Sasso and introduced the album Homo Homini Lupus in 1999.
