Formula 3 is an Italian prog rock band, initially active from 1969 to 1974 and again from 1990. The group was founded in 1969, and was originally made ​​up of Alberto Radius (guitars and vocals), Tony Cicco (drums and vocals) and Gabriele Lorenzi (keyboards). During their early career they played progressive rock music, and as such released four albums 1970-73. During these years they owed much of their success to producer and songwriter Lucio Battisti, and the lyrics of the iconic Mogol.

Formula 3 disbanded in 1974, but was reunited in 1990 with the original lineup, although with a much softer music that perhaps didn't cater to their old audience. In 1992, Gabriele Lorenzi left the band and was replaced by Andrea Pistilli (1992-94), then Maurizio Metals and now Ciro Di Bitonto.
