The news was running on the web from the early hours of the morning… we hoped it wasn't true.
He leaves us a pillar of Italian music. Sicily and all of Italy mourn a great man. He leaves us a refined, intelligent, cultured and unique artist, appreciated and loved in Italy and in the international music scene. The Sicilian singer-songwriter who was also a composer, author, singer, director, painter and writer was born in the province of Catania.
It would take too long to list his many successes, his prestigious collaborations, the awards he has received. Cuckoo-cuckoo, Center of permanent gravity, White flag, Voglio Vederti Danzare; The seasone of love; Alexanderplatz; And I come to look for you, Poor homeland; The care; these are just some of the very famous songs of the poetic and accurate genius of Franco Battiato.
Today is a bad day for Italy. Goodbye Franco.
Franco Battiato died. A great artist leaves us
