Dear music lovers

Lucio Battisti was an Italian singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist.

Among the greatest, influential and innovative Italian singers of all time, he is considered one of the greatest personalities in the history of Italian music both as a composer and performer of his songs, and as a composer for other artists. Throughout his career he has sold over 25 million records.

Skilled guitarist and perfectionist, also known for his attention to detail and the almost maniacal care he dedicated to arrangements and chords. His production has made a decisive change to Italian pop / rock: from a strictly musical point of view, Lucio Battisti has revolutionised and personalised the traditional and melodic song in every sense, sometimes combining it with sounds and rhythms typical of various genres, penetrating with versatility and eclecticism in rhythm and blues, prog rock, electropop, Latin, even touching the new wave, folk, soul, beat and more.

Thanks to the harmonious integration of his music with the texts written by Mogol, at times hermetic, Battisti has marked an era of Italian musical culture and costume, interpreting in a poetic style themes considered exhausted or difficult to renew, such as involvement sentimental and the events of everyday life; has been able to explore completely new and unusual topics, sometimes controversial, pushing to the limit of pure experimentation in the subsequent period of collaboration with Pasquale Panella, characterised by original and disjointed musical structures and a relationship with the text pushed to the limits of non sense.

For these reasons Battisti is today considered a true genius of music and a point of reference for the Italian music scene, and his popularity seems to gradually increase even outside national borders.

Accused of being a fascist sympathiser and often criticised for his non-eclectic vocal talents, Battisti was also an extremely shy and reserved figure: during his career he appeared sporadically in public and lent himself to the press with less and less frequent until he decided to retire completely from the scene, no longer appearing in the covers of his albums.

I have selected this song for you but I will share other songs in the future.
