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

This event celebrates Adriano Celentano's iconic 1966 song "Il ragazzo della via Gluck," a wistful lament about urbanisation and lost childhood homes. The track, co-written by Celentano with Luciano Beretta and Miki Del Prete, became his best-known work, reflecting autobiographical elements from his youth on Via Gluck in Milan.

Attendees can expect an evening dedicated to this classic, which gained fame after a modest debut at the Sanremo Festival. The song's themes of rapid post-war development resonated widely, leading to numerous international covers, including Françoise Hardy's French version "La maison où j'ai grandi" and Verdelle Smith's English "Tar and Cement."

This event offers a chance to experience the enduring appeal of a song that has been covered by artists from Giorgio Gaber to Almamegretta, and remains a poignant piece of Italian pop history.
