Gianni De Chellis project started in 1998, founded by guitarist Gianni De Chellis.
The trio included Gianni De Chellis (guitars), Giuliano De Leonardis (bass) and Carlo Porfilio (drums) and proposed rock instrumental music under different influences, from fusion to eastern sounds.
The "Gianni De Chellis project" band initially played Vai & Satriani covers to get heard.
Gradually,original pieces were included in the band's repertory and this lead to the first self-produced cd "War of the senses" (La guerra dei sensi).
Several concerts supported the cd release in 2001, and many musicians & critics in the field appreciated the band's work.
