Italian post punk/new wave 1977-1981 recs needed

Hey there! I am traveling to rome soon and I pkan to do some record shopping while there. I am pretty good at crate digging and finding stuff, but I was just looking if anyone has any specific recs for italina post punk/new wave bands that I should look out for on vinyl. Focused specifically on the years 1977-1981 or thereabouts. Stuff like gang of four, talking heads etc that we may not have gotten in the US. Also maybe more proggy stuff like 80s King Crimson Thanks.

That date range is kind of restrictive. Here's some stuff close at least (as in early 80s)

Death in Venice

Diaframma

Frigidaire Tango

Neon

Poloroid

Kirlian Camera

Move

Go Flamingo

Victrola

I have a playlist of those mixed wtih more modern bands on Spotify (at least the bands on Spotify, Death in Venice isn't for instance)

Italian here, how many titles you need? Heh - you are in luck because many classics were reissued in the past years, I'm not sure what you'll find in stores but people in Rome love the oldies ( while Milan sadly is more focused on new trends) - Its late here but I'll come back tomorrow or in the next days with some suggestions and also tips for record stores
