Francesco Battiato. Italian singer-songwriter, composer, musician, and painter, born in Ionia, March 23, 1945 died in Milo, May 18, 2021. An internationally known artist, he has been everything in his long career, from beat singer to avantgarde performer, producer, contemporary music composer. His beginnings lay in the mid 1960s, with many singles released with no particular success, the first two under his real name of Francesco. He had left the native Sicily moving to Milan around 1965. In 1970 after his collaboration with Osage Tribe (which he quit before their only album Arrowhead) he had a record deal with Bla Bla, releasing his first solo album in 1972.
