Lucio Battisti, an unreleased documentary to remember him on his birthday: what time and where to see it

The docufilm dedicated to Lucio Battisti will be broadcast on Thursday 5 March 2025 at 9.20pm on Rai 5, on the exact day of the anniversary of his birth. The choice of the date is not random: it is a precise homage to one of the most beloved artists of Italian music, born on 5 March 1943. No subscription is necessary to follow him: Rai 5 is a free digital terrestrial channel, available at button 23 on the remote control on all televisions compatible with the DVB-T2 signal.

For those who are unable to follow it live, or simply prefer to watch it at their leisure in the following days, the program will be available on RaiPlay, Rai’s free streaming platform.

It’s worth marking the appointment in the diary: a docufilm of this type, built on unpublished archive materials and direct testimonies from those who lived alongside Battisti, is a rare opportunity to really get close to the story of an artist who chose to remain in the shadows, letting only his music speak.
