Franco Battiato exhibition at MAXXI: last days to see ‘Another Life’

The exhibition Franco Battiato. Another Life offers a layered portrait of the artist—singer-songwriter, experimentalist and multimedia author. Hosted at MAXXI in Rome, it brings together unpublished materials, photographs, album covers, historical posters and personal items documenting more than fifty years of creative activity.

Curated by Giorgio Calcara with Grazia Cristina Battiato, and produced in collaboration with cultural institutions and the Franco Battiato Foundation, the show is organised around thematic sections that highlight the different phases of his work.

What to expect

  • Unpublished documents and rare archival material.
  • Photographs, posters and album covers illustrating key moments of his career.
  • An octagonal listening space equipped with Dolby Atmos for video projections and an immersive audio experience.
  • Personal objects and memorabilia that reveal the private and artistic sides of the artist.

The seven themes

  • Early years: the move from Sicily to Milan and the initial pop songwriting period.
  • Experimentation: engagement with the avant-garde and electronic music in the 1970s.
  • Breakthrough: albums that brought him to mainstream attention.
  • Mysticism: interests in spirituality and esoteric traditions.
  • The man: return to origins and private life in Sicily.
  • The master: artistic maturity and cultural leadership.
  • From sound to image: film work, soundtracks and audiovisual projects.
