Mahmood is the cover boy of Italian Vanity Fair in the very nice interview he is asked about his dreams and he says: Uno è incontrare il maestro Franco Battiato. Per quella volta che mi rapì dalla radio di una macchna, mentre andavo verso una spiaggia; con I treni di Tozeur io scoprii l'estasi. Salutarlo come fossimo in quel capolavoro della sua Alexander Platz : "C'era la neve, ci vediamo questa sera fuori dal teatro, "ti piace Schubert?" One is to meet maestro Franco Battiato. Since the time I heard I treni di Tozeur on car radio on my way to beach and I found heaven. I would greet him like if we were in his masterwork Alexander Platz . "There was snow, let's meet outside the theater tonight: "Do you like Schubert?" Sadly this dream will just stay a dream as Franco Battiato passed away last Tuesday.
