Locanda delle Fate (The Fairy Inn) is an Italian progressive rock band from the end of the Italian progressive rock movement.
The band formed in 1974 and in 1975 the vocalist Leonardo Sasso entered the group. Despite good reviews, they encountered little success with their first album Forse le lucciole non si amano più (Polydor, 1977, reissued 1994 with bonus track) and disbanded in 1980 after releasing two further singles. Decades later the band reunited without their lead vocalist, releasing the album Homo Homini Lupus (1999).
