5.0 out of 5 stars The unforgettable LUCIO BATTISTI(1943-1998), December 11, 1999

By	GIUSEPPE SARCINA (ITALY) - See all my reviews

Lucio Battisti was a great italian singer. In this album you will find some of his best songs. In Italy he is a legend and everybody knows his songs. He died last year on 9 September and in that occasion all the newspapers dedicated to him the first page, all the radio stations played his songs. He represents for Italy what John Lennon represents for the world. His songs are the soundtrack of the italian people: Pensieri e parole, Emozioni, La canzone del sole, Ancora tu, Acqua azzurra, Acqua chiara, Non è Francesca...... and many others. I hope you'll enjoy listening to it!

5.0 out of 5 stars La canzone piu' bella, February 2, 2002

By	Alessandro Bruno (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's difficult to write a review of music that has been such a huge aprt of your life; has accompanied you through broken hearts and inspired you toward new romantic adventures. Songs so beautifully written that poets would delight in envy, while the notes and orchestration has all the sophistication of classical music. Yet, I want to somehow share this beauty with so many people outside Italy who do not know that such music was written in the latter 20th century. I picked this album because it has the songs that first drew me to Battisti: E Penso a Te (I think of you) and I Giardini di Marzo (the gardens in March), just the title should stir some anticipation. Battisti is revered in Italy but his populartity was not boosted by commercial music or hype. For once, the popularity was justified by the quality. On any beach, piazza, a mountain resort you'll see Italians of different generations live their stories and significant moments to the tune of Battisti.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucio Battisti missed, May 11, 2002

By	T. Caetano (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The music of Lucio Battisti even with its "ups and downs" is kept very close to my heart. He is missed dearly and the news of his death were a shock to me. Albums like this one revive the memory of his music and of his love for singing. I am always impressed by the new generations of Italian-Americans who are devoted to his music and are willing to learn more about his life. Lucio Battisti's songs have, nevertheless, travelled all over the world where they are kept in the hearts of peoples from different countries and ethnic backgrounds...
