Uomo di pezza is an album by the Italian progressive rock band Le Orme.[1] It was released in 1972 and was one of their best selling works, which won an Italian award disco d'oro.[2]

Compared to the previous album, it shows many more classical elements: the opening of the album, for example, is a chaconne of Johann Sebastian Bach, played on piano by Gian Piero Reverberi. Furthermore, Tony Pagliuca plays a synthesizer for the first time.[3]

The title Uomo di pezza means "rag doll man". The doll character comes from the lyrics of the song "Gioco di bimba". The lyrics of Uomo di pezza describe a helpless masculine attitude, juxtaposed to an unknown, inscrutable feminine universe.[citation needed]
