Sting – Concert in Bassano del Grappa

Sting, born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner on October 2, 1951, in Wallsend, England, is a celebrated musician, singer-songwriter, and actor whose career has spanned decades.

Known for his work both as the frontman of the iconic band The Police and as a successful solo artist, Sting has left an indelible mark on the music world with his distinctive voice, insightful lyrics, and genre-defying style.

Sting’s early musical roots were in jazz, which he pursued while teaching as a schoolteacher in Newcastle.

In 1977, he moved to London and formed The Police with drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers.

The band quickly rose to fame in the late 1970s and early 1980s, driven by their unique blend of rock, reggae, and punk.

With hits like Roxanne, Every Breath You Take, and Message in a Bottle, The Police became one of the biggest bands in the world, winning numerous Grammy Awards and topping charts internationally.

After The Police disbanded in 1984, Sting embarked on a solo career that allowed him even more creative freedom.

His debut solo album, The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985), showcased his jazz influences, collaborating with renowned jazz musicians like Branford Marsalis.

The album was a commercial success, featuring hits like If You Love Somebody Set Them Free and Fortress Around Your Heart.

Over the years, Sting continued to explore new musical styles, incorporating elements of jazz, classical, world music, and electronic genres into his sound.

Albums like Nothing Like the Sun (1987), Ten Summoner’s Tales (1993), and Brand New Day (1999) produced more hits, including Englishman in New York, Fields of Gold, and Desert Rose.

Over his career, Sting has received numerous accolades, including 17 Grammy Awards, an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with The Police, and even recognition as a Kennedy Center Honoree.

PARCO RAGAZZI DEL ’99

Parco Ragazzi del ’99 is a large park in Bassano del Grappa, located in the northern part of the town.

The park was created in 1974, and dedicated to the Ragazzi del ‘99, the last recruits of the First World War, who decisively marked the fate of the conflict.

At the center of the park stands the Monument to Ragazzi del ‘99, with an adjoining votive chapel.

The park is located about 600 meters away from the Bassano del Grappa railway station.
