Franco Battiato

His art is intimately linked to my life. It has given me so much, and I feel it so present that it seems as if it has never left. We were born and raised just a few kilometers apart; I don’t know if this has helped me understand better, to fully resonate with the suggestions of his Music and lyrics... A multifaceted artist, never fixed on a single form/concept, continuously evolving, yet always placing the sacredness of earthly life and spiritual existence at the center—a musical quest that enhances those who have the pleasure and desire to delve into it. Dear Franco Battiato, we will meet again rolling through existential planes and life cycles. I am sure of it!
