Zucchero

The first biography of the "sweet" global star, a book that was created in the Zucchero Valley in Tuscany, encompasses fifteen hectares of olive and fruit trees, grains, sheep, chickens, cows, donkeys, and farmers. This volume contains interviews that serve both as a report and a summary of encounters over nearly twenty years – meetings between an artist who never ceases to surprise and a journalist who never tires of following him. The journey takes them to London, Rotterdam, Paris, Dublin, Glasgow, Vienna, Munich, Frankfurt, Venice, and especially to the place in Emilia where Zucchero "Sugar" Fornaciari opens up to the world. In this authorized book, Zucchero speaks candidly about dreams and nightmares, fear, love, pain, and memories, as well as about his friends and enemies, anecdotes, depression, songs, books, and his roots.
