Battisti songs won't be auctioned off (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, October 11 - The son of late singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti on Wednesday warned the liquidators of the company that owns his father's songs from auctioning them off.
    Luca Battisti said the copyright did not belong to the bankrupt Edizioni Musicali Acqua Azzurra, but to the singer's heirs. The company owns a back catalogue including some of Italy's most treasured pop classics including 'Emozioni', 'Mi ritorni in mente' and 'Acqua azzurra, acqua chiara'.
    Battisti, whose tunes provided a sound track for Italians for some thirty years, died in Milan on September 9, 1998 at the age of 55.
    Working with lyricist Mogol, Battisti had a long string of pop hits for himself as well as for other performers and groups.
    Among his more memorable songs were Emozioni, Non e' Francesca, 29 Settembre, Mi Ritorni in Mente, Ancora Tu and Una Donna Per Amico.
