Franco Battiato

In the second half of the '70s (excluding "L'era del cinghiale bianco"), it is indeed somewhat overrated. In recent years, he has sometimes overindulged in electronics, which would make me downgrade him by half a point. However, the will of his expanded mind (collaborations, books, films, painting, and whatever else the arts have to offer) promotes him to full status.

Franco Battiato

Italian singer-songwriter and composer from Sicily, Battiato moved from 1970s electronic/progressive experimentation to chart-topping pop with La voce del padrone, and later to spiritual, orchestral and operatic works. He frequently collaborated with arranger Giusto Pio and philosopher Manlio Sgalambro.
