Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at MAXXI, this volume pays tribute to Franco Battiato, a unique artist in the history of Italian music. A singer-songwriter, musician, poet, philosopher, and intellectual, Battiato spanned eras and languages with a profound, timeless vision. Across seven sections, the book traces his life and work: from his beginnings and his move from Sicily to Milan, to his daring experiments with acoustics and electronics, to his fame and subsequent artistic and spiritual explorations, without neglecting his research in cinema. The narrative is accompanied by a rich iconographic repertoire, including album covers, historical posters, photographs, and rare memorabilia, that convey the complexity and creative force of an artist who revolutionised Italian song.
