La canzone dell'amore perduto
Franco Battiato
(born 1945 in Sicily, Italy)
is an Italian singer-songwriter, composer, filmmaker and painter.
He is considered one of the most original personalities
in italian music from the 1970s to now.
Together with Alice, Franco Battiato represented Italy at the
Eurovision Song Contest 1984 with the melody I treni di Tozeur.
Battiato’s songs are dreamy,
controversial collages of images and sensations,
very experimental and convoluted, rich of esoteric,
philosophical and East Asian religious themes.
