We saw him three years ago in Peterborough in The Cresset and it was fantastic then! You can't imagine how disappionted we were to find that we were on holiday the weekend he played at the Royal Albert Hall! So off I went and researched and found tickets for the weekend after in the Arena in Verona (Italy).
What a beautiful trip and the concert was brrrrrrrrilliant! Although it rained on and off through half of the concert it was an unforgettable evening. Nobody left the venue and from young (ca. 8yrs) to old (far over the 60s) everybody sang and danced with him. There was an Italian guy sitting next to us who knew every single word of every song Zucchero performed.
There are more concerts in September in the Arena and in the meantime he will be touring Italy, Germany and other European countries. I'd recommend the concerts in the Roman Greek Theatre in Taormina (Sicily). Great venue with fantastic views of the sea and the volcano Mount Etna. It's a pity I can't make the dates (19 to 20th July).
He must be seen in his country, the atmosphere was fantastic!

Favourite moment: When he played a blues song /ballad it rained & everyone sat down. As soon as he played something more rocky all got up dancing & it stopped raining! @
