This article examines Franco Battiato’s engagement with the Persian world as a tribute to Angelo Arioli and their 1990-95 collaboration. The study traces three chronological phases of Battiato’s Persian fascination: political awareness of Middle Eastern crises (Kurdish resistance, Iranian Revolution, Afghan conflict), attraction to Sufism (particularly Rumi and whirling dervishes), and literary explorations (al-Biruni’s metaphor and Persian language in “Haiku”). This analysis illuminates how Orientalist threads continue to extend into con temporary popular culture.

Abstract
This article examines Franco Battiato’s engagement with the Persian world as a tribute to Angelo Arioli and their 1990-95 collaboration. The study traces three chronological phases of Battiato’s Persian fascination: political awareness of Middle Eastern crises (Kurdish resistance, Iranian Revolution, Afghan conflict), attraction to Sufism (particularly Rumi and whirling dervishes), and literary explorations (al-Biruni’s metaphor and Persian language in “Haiku”). This analysis illuminates how Orientalist threads continue to extend into con temporary popular culture.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
