Il Ragazzo Della Via Gluck: A Tribute to Adriano Celentano's

This event in Modena celebrates the iconic Italian pop song "Il ragazzo della via Gluck" by Adriano Celentano, a wistful lament about urbanisation and lost childhood homes. Attendees can expect an evening dedicated to the song's legacy, which has inspired numerous covers worldwide, including Françoise Hardy's French version "La maison où j'ai grandi" and Verdelle Smith's English rendition "Tar and Cement."

The evening will likely explore the song's autobiographical roots—Celentano lived on Via Gluck in Milan as a boy—and its broader commentary on post-war economic expansion. With its enduring popularity, the event offers a chance to experience the song's cultural impact through performances and storytelling, set in the heart of Modena.
