  1. LucioBattisti was born in PoggioBustone, near Rieti, March 5, 1943; parents, Alfiero and Goddess are simple people, simple as are the aspirations they have for their son: his diploma in technician and then a job.But Lucio who is remembered by his fellow citizens as a smart guy and introverted, has a different view.After the family moved to Rome, explodes his passion for music, highlighted by the room full of guitars - when his father broke him in the head - and the desire to see the world, following his instincts as an artist.With the indirect support of the mother, Lucio able to travel and broaden his experience, always with a passion for music in the foreground.
