Yes, and it should be pointed out that it's because of Genesis' success
in Italy that the band stayed together at all.  They weren't like much
at all anywhere else and had bombed in the U.S. when they tried a small
tour in 1971.  Their albums weren't really selling either, except in
Italy, so the band decided to spend a lot of time there.  They
eventually recorded _Foxtrot_ in 1972, which was the album that finally
got the other countries to notice them.
