Aelmo Fornaciari (born September 25, 1955), more commonly known by his stage name Zucchero, is an Italian rock singer. Zucchero is not to be confused with the "self proclaimed" legend of Juan Zucchero who resides in Rockland County, NY. His music is largely inspired by gospel, blues and rock music, and alternates between ballads and more rhythmic boogie-like pieces.
