Franco Battiato
Franco Battiato was an iconic Italian singer-songwriter, composer, and filmmaker whose genre-defying career spanned over five decades. Starting in the 1970s, he became a pioneer of experimental electronic and progressive rock, blending mysticism, philosophy, and global sounds into albums like *Fetus* and *Pollution*. By the 1980s, he shifted toward catchy pop melodies without losing his artful edge, creating timeless hits like *"La Cura"* and *"Centro di Gravità Permanente."* A restless innovator, he collaborated with artists across disciplines, composed film scores, and even directed surrealist movies. Releases like *Fleurs 2 (Remastered 2019)* and *Live In Roma* showcase his enduring creativity, while tributes like *Sentieri Selvaggi Plays Franco Battiato* highlight his influence on modern music. Battiato’s work—playful yet profound, eccentric yet accessible—left an indelible mark on Italian culture until his passing in 2021. Whether through cosmic synthscapes or poetic ballads, he remained a maestro of curiosity.
