We pay tribute to one of the first Italian singer-songwriters who defended the environment.

He leaves us Franco Battiatothe history of Italian singer-songwriting. He who with music started the battle for the environmental protection.

Since 1980 it has disseminated concepts and values, still relevant and contemporary 40 years later as, the fear that global pollution would make us all slaves to an environment made of mathematical algorithms.

His great commitment to the environment has prompted him personally to espouse naturalist battles, even going against the tide and risking loss of support and popularity.

But each of his struggles for the environment has turned into a musical masterpiece that has defied time and fashion. Just think of the great success of 'Pollution' and the cultural value that a song like 'The Cure'.

We at Donno Bikes pay tribute to one of the first Italian songwriters who defended the environment.

Today we have devoted ourselves to a topic other than the classics offered by our blog to remember a man who is, after all, part of a dream, our dream too. That dream that inspires us daily to offer environmentally friendly products and services.

Our bicycles  foldablefor example, are realised in Europe without the exploitation of emerging markets. Manufactured from recyclable materials, such as aluminium and rubber. And for all our electric vehicles, we also offer battery reconditioning services to prevent leakage into the environment.

We are certain that you too are part of this dream to which Battiato dedicated part of his life and his songs, as we are sure you, too, can remember and thank for knowing him even musically.
