This year, Vasco Rossi’s fans received a special Christmas wish directly from Zocca, the birthplace of the Emilian rocker who chose the authentic atmosphere of the Modena Apennines to say: “Christmas is turning down the volume of the world and turning up the volume of the heart. Less noise, more truth. More hugs, fewer useless words. I wish you a free, bright Christmas, full of life and rock inside. Because music never goes on holiday”. The message, shared on social media, went viral in a few hours and was striking for its intense and personal tone. The holiday period, for him, took place in the quiet of the snow together with relatives and historical friends, far from the clamor of the city.
The return to Zocca’s roots
Far from big events and limelight, the Komandante Christmas confirms itself every year as a moment of return to origins, entirely dedicated to essentiality and family. Zocca is not simply the place where he was born: for the singer, it represents a fixed point in his artistic and personal history. Here he finds silence, nature and that warmth that every time takes him back to his childhood and his first songs.
Despite the desire to remain secluded, Vasco also treated himself to a short escape to Bologna for a walk in the heart of the city. In Piazza Maggiore, the Emilian rocker showed a certain interest in the artistic installation Iwagumi Air Scape created by the Australian studio Eness, underlining his sensitivity also towards contemporary art and the way in which it dialogues with urban space.
The Golden Nightingale: the birth of a dream
The nostalgic spirit of Christmas also takes the rocker back to the past and to that memorable goal of the Golden Nightingale competition, which started his incredible career. “I didn’t expect to win – he said – I was convinced that a girl who had gotten 90 out of 100 would win. When I heard all tens arrive, I was speechless.” With that 100 out of 100, a path of successes and great emotions opened up. The very song from that debut, Like in fairy taleswould later reappear in the singer’s discography, transformed – in title only – into Like in fairy tales for the great event in Modena Park. A symbolic circle that closes, between emotion and awareness, embellishing the holidays spent this year in Zocca.
Mystery Blasco: New Year’s Eve and music
Fans are wondering what Vasco will do for New Year’s Eve this year: will he remain immersed in the snowy landscapes of Zocca or will he decide to surprise everyone with a sudden presence in an unexpected city? As often happens, the Blasco maintains an aura of mystery about programs and locations, so as to leave everyone in suspense. Only one thing is certain: “music never goes on holiday”, as he himself reiterated in his Christmas message. Whatever the destination chosen, the promise is to bring with it that rock energy that made it famous, keeping the enthusiasm intact even in the coming new year.
