Italian rock icon Zucchero arrived in Sofia with plans to throw a hard-hitting concert and to play Santa Claus for the first time in his life. The star was moved when 20 children from a Bulgarian orphanage sent him their Christmas wishes. In response, Zucchero secured a whole lot of bicycles, cameras, walkmen and shoes to present the Bulgarian children with during his Sunday's visit to the orphanage. The performer of one of Italy's most soulful ballades - Senza Una Dona, will rock Sofia's scene on Monday with a concert in the National Palace of Culture.
