===Changes in direction (1977–1982)===
Following the release of their eight studio album, ''[[:it:Storia o leggenda|Storia o leggenda]]'', Le Orme retired from touring to focus on exploring new directions for their music.<ref name="Le Orme">{{cite web| title= Le Orme: Biography | url= http://www.le-orme.com/| publisher=Le Orme Official Site |accessdate=4 November 2009 |language=Italian }}</ref> The result was 1979's ''[[:it:Florian (album)|Florian]]'' in which the band members traded in their electric instruments for classical ones, emerging with a sound more akin to [[chamber music]] than rock. The album was critically acclaimed, winning an Italian Music Critics' Award.<ref>{{cite web | title= La Canzone d'Autore Italiana: Storia de Le Orme | url= http://www.italica.rai.it/index.php?categoria=biografie&scheda=orme| |publisher=[[RAI]] |accessdate=4 November 2009 |language=Italian |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20091012131938/http://www.italica.rai.it/index.php?categoria=biografie&scheda=orme |archivedate=12 October 2009 |df= }}</ref> They followed up with ''[[:it:Piccola rapsodia dell'ape|Piccola rapsodia dell'ape]]'', which, although stylistically similar was not nearly as successful. Reverting to their classic trio formation, the band attempted to return to the mainstream with a straight-[[pop music|pop]] effort, ''[[:it:Venerdì (album)|Venerdi]]''. This album was also unsuccessful, and the band split amiably following its release.
