Latte e Miele is an Italian progressive rock musical group.

The group formed in 1971 in Genoa.^[1] In 1972 they realized their most famous work, the concept album Passio secundum Mattheum, with part of music inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach and recitatives from the Gospel of Matthew.^[1]^[2]^[3] After having opened the concerts of Van der Graaf Generator, in 1973 they released another concept album, Papillon, and disbanded in 1974.^[1]^[2]

The group reformed in 1976, with only Alfio Vitanza from the original line-up, and with the name of the group spelled as "LatteMiele".^[1]^[2] After the album Aquile e scoiattoli, best known for its 23-minutes-suite "Pavana", they gradually abandoned the progressive style and approached pop-rock.^[1]^[2] After disbanding in the early 1980s, the original line-up reunited in 2008.^[4]^[5]
