I just learned that my favourite Italian musician (maybe the only Italian musician I ever listen to…) passed away yesterday.

Battiato was a genius, he was a researcher: of music, of sound, of mysticism, of humanity, of meaning, of Love… and because of this his songs and his lyrics spoke a language so close to my soul.

I grew up with his songs which he also translated to Spanish and I saw one of his concerts in Sicily, about 15 years ago.

Grande, Franco… Per sempre nel mio cuore ❤️
