Abstract

Two recollections of the launch of Franco Battiato’s historic album: Monica Palla (A Provocative Event) recalls the complicity between Franco Battiato and Gianni Sassi in organizing the artistic event that suggested a new perception of pollution a few months after the release of the Italian edition of The Limits of Development. Stefano Senaldi (Bloccare tutti i motori a scoppio) focuses on the electronic and rock music mix of Battiato’s album Pollution that touches on themes of environmental catastrophe
