“Franco era un amico, la sua scomparsa \u00e8 una grande perdita, per lui faremo il lutto cittadino”. Cos\u00ec il sindaco di Milo, Alfio Cosentino. “Mi ha chiamato un amico – racconta – e dopo avere fatto una verifica ho appreso del suo decesso avvenuto questa mattina intorno alle 5”. Cosentino ricorda poi il rapporto con il compositore da anni divenuto suo concittadino: “Con lui c’era grande amicizia e stima reciproca. Dopo che sono stato eletto, ci siamo incontrati pi\u00f9 volte e lui ha sostenuto tante nostre iniziative culturali”. Cosentino annuncia che nel Comune alle pendici dell’Etna sar\u00e0 lutto cittadino per il giorno del funerale del cantautore. “Sicuramente faremo qualcosa per avere un perenne ricordo di Franco Battiato”. Milo paese che incanta i grandi musicisti: Lucio Dalla oltre a Franco Battiato. “Lucio Dalla a Milo \u00e8 venuto dopo Franco Battiato che tanti anni fa ha scelto questo paese, lui che era nato a Jonia (nome dei comuni di Giarre e Riposto). Milo evidentemente \u00e8 stato un posto mistico per essere stato scelto da lui: dalla sua casa si vedeva uno scorcio del porto di Giardini Naxos e la cupola della chiesa di Riposto”.<\/p>
