Battaglino, Giovanni
Ricominciare Dalle Parole
Why 'Ricominciare Dalle Parole? From a word (parole) can come a road, a story, a word is an encounter, it is the future, it is opening up to communication after the silence and the closing of the Pandemic. A word is the urgency to say something that can no longer be kept silent, it stimulates us to come out of ourselves to express and invent, it is the viaticum of an idea. Words can also give rise to a project like an album. In this album there are 10 songs almost all written during the Pandemic, Giovanni Battaglino wrote them in a notebook that accompanied him on this journey made up of meetings with the musicians, authors and collaborators of this project. Some titles are directly linked to the theme such as "Ricominci", "Dire", "Strada per dove vorrai", "Il peso delle cose", other songs speak of direct or indirect encounters such as "Isola pedonale", "Il signore dei labirinti", "Valzer per uno spirito", "Mancato amore" and one, "La giostra", is on the theme of war, which has returned dangerously topical.
