Turilli / Lione Rhapsody was an Italian symphonic metal ensemble established in December 2018 by former Rhapsody of Fire members Luca Turilli and Fabio Lione. The group featured ex-Rhapsody of Fire musicians Alex Holzwarth, Patrice Guers, and Dominique Leurquin. Prior to forming this band, the same lineup performed under the Rhapsody name during the 20th Anniversary Farewell Tour, commemorating the original band's two decades of activity. On the day of their formation, they initiated an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign aimed at supporting their only studio album.
Although initially intending to proceed under the name Zero Gravity following the farewell tour, promoters recommended that Turilli and Lione maintain the Rhapsody brand.
In December 2018, Turilli and Lione commenced recording their album Zero Gravity (Rebirth and Evolution), which was released on July 5, 2019. After completing their final tour across Latin America in early 2023, the band officially disbanded, declaring that they were "closing the chapter of their career for good".
