 Zucchero was born Adelmo
                    Fornaciari on September 25, 1955 in Italy.
                    Zucchero, whose name means "sugar,"
                    began his musical endeavors while training to
                    be a veterinary surgeon and was taught to
                    play guitar. His music career playing began
                    with other bands in the 70s throughout Italy
                    including Le Nouve Luci, Sugar & Daniel,
                    and Sugar & Candies. Zucchero's music and
                    songwriting talents eventually led him to
                    enter the 80s as a solo star ready to become
                    internationally known.
