Grandine il Vento is the 13th studio album by the British progressive rock band, Renaissance first released in 2013. It was financed through a Kickstarter campaign.[1]

Background

After the band's split in 2002, in 2009, the band reunited and performed. In November 2012, the band's guitarist and composer, Michael Dunford died from a cerebral haemorrhage.[2] One month later, the band's vocalist stated that the band will continue to perform.[3] In 2013, it was announced that the new guitarist of the band is Ryche Chlanda.[4] In the spring 2013, the band released the album first on the internet, and then in a CD format. It was dedicated on the inside sleeve to Michael Dunford. Two guests played on this album: John Wetton (one-tme member and ex-King Crimson, and currently with UK and Asia) and Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull).
