IL VOLO: THE SFERISTERIO TAKES OFF WITH A JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD.
On a sweltering late-summer evening, the trio captivates the arena audience: “It is a great honor to bring our music to venues like this.”
From “‘O Sole Mio” to *Cinema Paradiso*, from Sanremo hits to the glow of mobile phones lighting up to the notes of “Hallelujah.” The finale is dedicated to the great Jimmy Fontana. (a native of Macerata and the man who made the song “Il Mondo” a hit)
Fans flutter in the stalls and boxes as the heat envelops the Sferisterio. It is a quintessential summer evening welcoming Il Volo, the stars of the second Sferisterio Live event following last Monday’s debut with Max Angioni. Yet, when the lights come up at 9:30 sharp and the orchestra begins to play, the heat inevitably fades into the background.
It is a near-sellout crowd, with around 2,000 spectators in attendance. The concert opens with the orchestra conducted by Maestro Edmondo Savio. Then, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble take the stage. They begin with “Now We Are Free,” followed by the evening’s first prolonged round of applause.
It is an immediate journey through music that has accompanied generations, spanning opera, singer-songwriter classics, and great international hits.
Next comes “O Sole Mio,” followed by the lights turning red for “Granada.”
“I thought this was the Sferisferio, not the Macerata thermal baths,” the trio jokes, making light of the sweltering heat in the stands and instantly breaking down the barrier between them and the audience.
Il Volo is in Macerata to celebrate a major milestone, too: nearly 18 years together.
“We’re practically coming of age,” they joke.
Gianluca adds: “I graduated this year,” drawing another laugh from the audience.
Then the music returns: Leoncavallo’s *Mattinata*, *Per Aspera*, and *Chiaro di Luna*.
“It is a great honor to bring music to places like this,” they say. The Sferisterio proves to be the ideal venue for their musical journey,a program crafted by combining some of history’s greatest songs with the tracks that have defined the trio’s own path.
Mayor Sandro Parcaroli is also in the audience. And there is another quip: “Since the mayor is here, let’s get him to have an air-conditioned roof installed.” The audience laughs; then the lights dim and the tone shifts.
Then comes the moment dedicated to Ennio Morricone; the notes of *Cinema Paradiso* fill the Sferisterio, and for a few minutes, the great Macerata arena seems to transform into an open-air cinema. The *Cavalleria Rusticana* intermezzo follows, then “My Way.” The concert proceeds by alternating choral moments with solo performances by the three artists.
Gianluca Ginoble takes the stage with Luigi Tenco’s “Mi sono innamorato di te,” while he and Ignazio Boschetto share “Unchained Melody”, “the song of lovers.”
Then it is the turn of Albano’s “È la mia vita.” Ignazio, meanwhile, takes the stage with “Almeno tu nell’universo”; when the chorus arrives, he is no longer singing alone, the Sferisterio joins in, accompanying the song as the singer displays his full vocal range.
Then comes a more intimate moment. “A mano a mano” leads the audience toward one of the evening’s most evocative sights: phone lights illuminating the stands. A small sky of glowing points of light—honoring loved ones—shines to the strains of “Hallelujah.” The Sferisterio falls silent, making way for the music and the emotions.
The journey continues with the trio’s Sanremo hits, starting with “Capolavoro,” dedicated to their audience, and leading up to “Grande Amore.” This is the song that defines Il Volo more than any other, and one that the Sferisterio audience sings along to with the trio.
But the finale is all about Macerata. “Il Mondo” is dedicated to the late, great Jimmy Fontana.
It seems to be over. The trio waves goodbye and leaves the stage. But the audience isn’t having it; the applause turns into a collective demand for one last encore. Il Volo returns, joined on stage by the dancers, and “Nessun Dorma” begins. The voices of Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca soar above the orchestra, and the audience rises to its feet. A standing ovation follows two hours of magnificent music.
Another brief encore of “Grande Amore” brings the second night of Sferisterio Live to a close, with the entire arena on its feet.
Il Volo has released this lovely video.
“Another stop in a special place, thank you, Macerata!”
Mattia Carducci was also at the Macerata concert (if you recall, four years ago he went up on stage to sing with Il Volo).
Mattia is an adorable young boy who loves music and Il Volo. Our guys recognized him immediately, and the bond was rekindled!
Here is what Mattia’s mom wrote, along with the photos she posted.
….Mattia and Il Volo….The fairy tale continues! During the concert….Piero Barone spotted Mattia in the audience!❤️ Tonight, the added honor of being photographed with the world-famous manager, producer, and drummer Michele Torpedine!❤️….Even among famous names, you can meet people with hearts of gold!🥰 Forgive my loud laughter in the video of the meeting, but in moments like that, your legs shake, the emotion is overwhelming, and you just let yourself go!🥰 And for these emotions gifted to Mattia and our family, for Gianluca Ginoble’s kindness, and for everything else, I will never stop saying THANK YOU!❤️ Tonight’s hugs and incredibly sweet, gentle touches will stay with us every day, and tonight, once again….it was WONDERFUL!❤️….oh yes….with all the love I have!❤️
In the photo below, Mattia is with his brother Giorgio and Il Volo. ❤️❤️
August 30 L’Aquila (in the Abruzzo region)
The concert took place in front of the Basilica of Collemaggio as part of the Perdonanza Celestiniana event.
This concert has recently been added to Il Volo’s schedule. The Perdonanza Celestiniana is a highly significant event—a historic civic and religious celebration promoted, supported, and organized by the Municipality of L’Aquila, the Perdonanza Committee, and the Archdiocese of L’Aquila. Established in 1294, it has been recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2019.
INIZIO + NOW WE ARE FREE
O SOLE MIO
A MANO A MANO
PERDONANZA CELESTINIANA shared this video and these words:
Seven years later, back in front of Collemaggio.
In 2019, Il Volo took to this stage for a concert conceived as a gift to the city on the tenth anniversary of the earthquake.
Last night, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble returned to close the 732nd Perdonanza Celestiniana, during the year L’Aquila serves as the Italian Capital of Culture.
What kind of city did they find today, and what does it mean to return and sing in a place so deeply connected to its history?
They told us just moments before they went on stage. (Scroll down on the Facebook page below to see the videos from Perdonanza Celestiniana.)
GIANLUCA = It is a great honor for us to return to Abruzzo, to my home region, and to welcome Ignazio and Piero for the closing of the 732nd *Perdonanza Celestiniana* here in L’Aquila, in one of the most evocative places in our country. We are truly proud to bring our music to such an important event, but above all, returning to my home region is always a source of great pride and deep emotion for me.
IGNAZIO = It is obviously one of the most important events—not just in Italy, but globally—and we are proud to be part of it.
PIERO = We had the opportunity to sing here in L’Aquila for the first time in 2019, and today, we have that great privilege and honor once again. Being able to share melodies from our repertoire in such a prestigious venue is truly significant for us. We will certainly continue to do so, and we thank you for your support.
I previously mentioned the Gioia 2026 award and honorary citizenship for Gianluca Ginoble; here is the video of the award ceremony.
Mattia Carducci and his brother Giorgio were also present for Gianluca Ginoble’s arrival for the GIOIA Award; here is an account of the meeting, in the words of his mother, Monica:
Not only excellence in music and elegance… but also so much sweetness and sensitivity! ❤️ Gianluca Ginoble with Gioia! 😍
And finally, a short video of Ignazio and Gabriele posted by Michelle. ❤️💙❤️
After the brief summer break, the long Italian outdoor tour resumes with a concert in beautiful Sicily—specifically:
August 22/23 TAORMINA
The concert took place at the Ancient Theatre.
Taormina is a highly sought-after destination for Il Volo concerts, firstly because two of the members (Ignazio and Piero) are at home in Sicily, but also because it was one of the places that hosted them when they were not yet widely popular in Italy. Furthermore, despite its small size, Taormina is a favorite among concertgoers, offering a magnificent ancient theater with a stunning view of the sea and Mount Etna in the background. Known as the “Pearl of the Ionian,” Taormina was also recently singled out by *The Times* for its beauty.
But let’s take a look at the concert. Look at the beautiful video Il Volo has posted.
The guitarist performing the song is Edo Ferragamo. He posted about his meeting with Piero on his Facebook page, a truly wonderful experience, and I am sharing it here in his own words.
2 hours notice. A borrowed guitar from a restaurant. A song I had never played before. 5,000 people.
What started with a question from Piero Barone, Il Volo over lunch — “Do you want to play with us tonight?” turned into one of those moments I’ll never forget.
A couple hours later I was walking on stage at the Teatro Antico di Taormina to play The Godfather with Il Volo .. and we got a standing ovation. 💗
Thank you, Il Volo for having me, and especially Piero for trusting me enough to throw me into the deep end. 😂 💗 Grateful for the trust, the adrenaline, and a night that reminded me why I love doing this. I’ll never forget this moment … But see you again tonight for round 2. 🎸
Edo Ferragamo’s wife posted these words and this video clip of second night with electric guitar.
“The most special 2 nights watching my husband perform with Il Volo at the Teatro Antico in Taormina.
Still can’t believe what I witnessed… the incredible @barone_piero singing the Godfather song IN SICILY, a 30 piece orchestra, with Edo on Spanish guitar… a style he had never played before, on a guitar borrowed from the restaurant down the street, after learning the song just two hours before soundcheck!!
I will never forget how epic these nights were… could not be more proud of you Edo Ferragamo bravissimo!!”
A short video of the Boschetto family’s arrival in Taormina. ❤️❤️💙
Shortly after the Taormina concerts, this wonderful news arrived:
2026 Gioia Award: honorary citizenship for Gianluca Ginoble of “Il Volo” and awards recognizing excellence in culture and journalism.
Gioia dei Marsi (a municipality in the province of L’Aquila) is preparing for its most brilliant night. The “” (Gioia Award) returns for its third edition; it is the year’s most anticipated civic and cultural event, organized by the Gioia dei Marsi municipal administration—led by Mayor Gianluca Alfonsi—and curated by De Siena Editore.
It is an occasion that celebrates the excellence, roots, and pride of an entire community, set against the evocative backdrop of Piazza della Repubblica.
The day’s events will begin on Wednesday, August 26, at 5:30 PM in the Town Hall’s Council Chamber with an extraordinary meeting of the City Council for the most moving moment of all: the conferral of honorary citizenship upon Gianluca, the internationally renowned artist from the group *Il Volo*, has always maintained a deep, affectionate bond with the Abruzzo region and his own roots.
Following this, at 9:00 PM in Piazza della Repubblica, the award presentation ceremony and the accompanying concert will take place.
The Premio Gioia 2026 will be awarded to individuals who have distinguished themselves at a national level in the fields of journalism, culture, civic engagement, and entrepreneurship.
And so, the two beautiful concerts in Taormina have come to an end. It was wonderful, what a shame not to be there, with our guys in top form, accompanied by their families and surrounded by so much love from the audience. The natural setting was stunning; all in all, two unforgettable evenings.
Piero’s Sicilian version of *The Godfather* was superb!
It also looks to me like Ignazio has lost a few kilos and is in better shape.
Congratulations to Gianluca on the award he received.
And so, the first part of the summer concert series is drawing to a close with the final two performances; a brief summer break will follow, lasting until August 22nd. In the meantime, let’s take a look at where the last two concerts are taking place:
August 7 Barletta
Located in southern Italy, specifically in the Puglia region.
Il GIORNALE DI PUGLIA published this wonderful article, which I am translating here:
Il Volo captivates the audience at the Barletta Castle Moat: a night of “Grande Amore” blending opera and pop.
(Written by Rosalba Paradiso) – The evocative moat of the Swabian Castle in Barletta provided the setting for one of the most spirited and thrilling stops on Il Volo’s 2026-2027 World Tour. Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble treated the Apulian audience to an impeccable performance, confirming an artistic maturity that now extends far beyond the captivating phenomenon of their early days.
The natural acoustics of the historic walls, combined with a top-tier sound system, amplified the trio’s vocal power. The setlist skillfully balanced the various musical worlds that define their signature style. The opening number, “Capolavoro,” immediately warmed up the crowd, followed by a journey through great international classics such as “The Sound of Silence” and their triumphant, essential hit, “Grande amore.”
The evening’s true highlight was the interplay between ensemble pieces and solo performances, which showcased the group’s distinct individual qualities: Piero’s powerful operatic tenor voice, Ignazio’s extraordinary pop-soul range, and Gianluca’s warm, magnetic baritone timbre. Moments of deep emotion were reached during the rendition of “Nessun dorma” and the heartfelt tributes to Ennio Morricone with “L’estasi dell’oro” and “Se.”
Beyond the technical perfection of the performances, the strong rapport with the audience was striking. The three artists freely shared jokes, anecdotes, and smiles, breaking the solemnity of the operatic repertoire with a freshness and spontaneity that were quintessentially Italian. The finale was a rising tide of applause, with the entire Fossato crowd on their feet and singing along. Barletta responded with immense warmth to a magical night where great music and history merged beneath the August sky.
Photographer Tiziana De Martino wrote these beautiful words:
“A night of great music, emotion, and Italian tradition. On August 7th, the atmospheric Moat of Barletta Castle hosted Il Volo for a stop on their tour, treating the audience to an intense and spectacular evening.
Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble are now an established force in Italian music and, above all, one of its most beloved expressions worldwide. Their international success has transformed the trio into true ambassadors of Italian song, helping to share a heritage of melody, opera, and great tradition far beyond our borders.”
August 9 ALGHERO
We were on the beautiful island of Sardinia.
The concert took place at the Ivan Graziani – Maria Pia Amphitheatre as part of the Alghero Summer Festival.

Furthermore, Il Volo has recently announced new European concerts for 2027, and two additional dates have been scheduled in Italy: one on August 30, 2026, in L’Aquila for the *Perdonanza Celestiniana* (Celestinian Pardon) in front of the Basilica of Collemaggio, and the *Concerto per l’Italia* (Concert for Italy) in Pordenone on September 20, which will be attended by the President of the Italian Republic. Here are the details.
Il Volo to headline the 2026 Concert for Italy
The trio Il Volo, currently embarking on a world tour that will visit major cities across Europe, the United States, and Latin America through 2027, will headline the closing event of the 27th edition of *pordenonelegge* with the “Concert for Italy.” This event is organized to honor the prestigious visit of the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, who is expected in Pordenone on Sunday, September 20 (at 7:00 PM, Teatro Verdi). The announcement was made this morning, Thursday, August 6, by Michelangelo Agrusti, President of the Fondazione Pordenonelegge.it. He emphasized that “the festival, institutional authorities, and the entire city are preparing to welcome the Head of State, grateful and honored by his in-person attendance, which follows the video greetings sent annually for past editions of *pordenonelegge*.” President Agrusti added, “The extraordinary participation of the President of the Republic testifies to the profound significance of this 27th edition of the Festival of Books and Freedom: the ‘Concert for Italy’ will thus serve as a vivid preview of Pordenone’s role as the Italian Capital of Culture in 2027. Through the power of music and the spoken word—and a repertoire that unites the country’s diverse regions and generations—we will propel the city and the region toward a milestone that reaffirms our territory’s cultural centrality on the national stage.”
The *Concerto per l’Italia* (Concert for Italy), featuring the voices of Il Volo, tenors Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto and baritone Gianluca Ginoble, is a project curated by the Fondazione Pordenonelegge.it. It is promoted with the support of the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, specifically the Departments of Productive Activities and Tourism, and of Culture and Sport, in anticipation of Pordenone serving as the Italian Capital of Culture in 2027, and benefits from the technical collaboration of Zenit srl Latisana.
A transgenerational song bridging Italian roots and the world
Il Volo will bring the grandeur and depth of the Italian song tradition to the stage, a timeless richness that has always transcended national borders. Through their extraordinary vocal talents, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble will create a dialogue between the historical legacy of Italian music and the sensibilities of young and very young audiences, demonstrating the universal value of musical culture. The evening’s setlist will range from the trio’s signature style to the *bel canto* repertoire and the classic Italian song tradition, creating a musical fusion that knows no boundaries of genre or generation. The concert will open with a stirring moment, a performance of the Italian National Anthem, using Goffredo Mameli’s notes as a musical gateway to a celebration of culture and freedom, while looking ahead to 2027, when Pordenone will take its place as a key cultural hub for the nation. In Pordenone, Il Volo will be accompanied by the Zenith Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Edmondo Mosè Savio.
“The Concert for Italy,” explained Sergio Emidio Bini, Regional Councillor for Productive Activities and Tourism, at the presentation event, “represents another important element in the lineup of major events taking place in our region this year, one made even more significant by the prestigious participation of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, who will honor us with his presence.”
The last two concerts were a huge success with both audiences and critics alike.
It is time for Ignazio, Gianluca, and Piero to enjoy a few days of vacation; then they will return in better form than ever to delight us with their magnificent voices.
While browsing various Facebook pages and news outlets recently to see who had reviewed Il Volo’s concerts, I came across a truly interesting and well-crafted page by Denys Yurin.

And now we are in August, kicking things off right away with a great concert.
August 2nd
We were in Central Italy, in the region of Tuscany, specifically in FORTE DEI MARMI (province of Lucca), for a concert at Villa Bertelli.
Michelle was also at the Forte dei Marmi concert with little Gabriele.
I don’t post photos or videos involving our guys’ families because there are too many fakes out there, but Michelle posted this one herself, so it’s all good.
How sweet little Gabriele looks, reaching out his arms toward his dad and clapping!! 💙❤️
Villa Bertelli has posted some photos with the following caption:
“Incredible voices and a unique atmosphere for the Il Volo concert, the second event in the ‘Villa Bertelli Live’ series.
An evening of *Grande Amore* and great music.”
Gianluca, Ignazio, and Piero then posed for this photo holding the AIRC (Italian Association for Cancer Research) jersey, with the motto:
“No one runs alone; run with AIRC.”
And so, two more concerts have been performed, once again drawing large, enthusiastic crowds.
Now come the final two concerts—one in Puglia and one in Sardinia—followed by a summer break, before things pick up again in Taormina.
