Franco Battiato, an influential Italian artist, left behind a multifaceted legacy that spanned music, philosophy, and spirituality, and an ongoing exhibition titled 'Otra vida' at the Maxxi Museum in Rome aims to explore this complex persona. The exhibition, organized by Giorgio Calcara and Cristina Battiato, the artist's niece, seeks to address the fundamental question that haunted Battiato throughout his life: 'Who am I?' This inquiry not only reflects Battiato's internal struggles but also serves as a thematic anchor for the exhibition's narrative. It presents a comprehensive overview of Battiato's contributions to culture, celebrating his role as a giant in the Italian cultural landscape.
