Zucchero

The first biography of the "sweet" world star, a book born in Zucchero's Valley in the Tuscany region, features fifteen hectares of olive and fruit trees, cereals, sheep, chickens, cows, donkeys, and farmers. This volume includes interviews that serve as both a report and a summary of encounters spanning almost 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 his friends and enemies, anecdotes, depressions, songs, books, and his roots.
