Canto libero was not a simple concert, but a show, tribute to a historical couple of the 60’-70’. On the stage, an ensemble of 10 well-mixed musicians with long experience in their careers, who received Mogol blessing. Canto Libero reproduces Battisti songs faithfully to the original, but not as a copy. They added their own musical personality and sensibility, new arrangements, bringing up his natural blues and rock soul.

IO VORREI..NON VORREI…MA SE VUOI
Dove vai quando poi resti sola?
Il ricordo, come sai, non consola
Quando lei se ne andò, per esempio
Trasformai la mia casa in un tempio
E da allora solo oggi non farnetico più
A guarirmi chi fu
Ho paura a dirti che sei tu
Ora noi siamo già più vicini
Io vorrei, non vorrei, ma se vuoi
Come può uno scoglio
Arginare il mare
Anche se non voglio
Torno già a volare
Le distese azzurre
E le verdi terre
Le discese ardite
E le risalite
Su nel cielo aperto
E poi giù il deserto
E poi ancora in alto
Con un grande salto
Dove vai quando poi resti sola?
Senza ali tu lo sai non si vola
Io quel dì mi trovai per esempio
Quasi sperso in quel letto così ampio
Stalattiti sul soffitto i miei giorni con lei
Io la morte abbracciai
Ho paura a dirti…

Battisti- Mogol

CURIOSITY

Apart from the show, you can’t miss the location where artists go on the scene. I suggest to be there some minutes before the spectacle to enjoy the wonderful sunset among the Mediterranean vegetation and the ancient ruins of the Ostia excavation, that once again host visitors in magic and unique atmosphere. With a bit of imagination, it seems that the roman streets of the first rich colony of the Roman Empire, also bigger and important than Pompei, live again. Moreover, this year, the Theatre audience can have a special guided visit by the archeological site.
