the interview IL VOLO Porta a Porta 2014 translated by Madeline Bugeja. From 23.20 to26.20
Part 4 is the feature about IL VOLO.

Nadia starts off the feature by saying, that it is 2009, and Ignazio Boschetto, Piero Barone and Gianluca Ginoble, perform for the first time as individual singers, on the talent show Ti Lascio Una Canzone hosted by Antonella Clerici, which then saw them perform as a trio, and that was the start of this fairytale, Italy falls in love with the three young tenors (TRE TENORINI) the three teen phenomenon, but beware if you still call them that (TENORINI) They are now IL VOLO, they have gone beyond our shores, and they have reached an incredible success over the ocean, thanks to Mr QUANDO QUANDO, Tony Renis they landed in America, and they become the first Italian singers in history to sign a contract with a major American record company.

They also were the first Italians to perform in the mega concert WE ARE THE WORLD for Haiti, along with all the great American stars, and personally invited by Quincy Jones, singing side by side with artist like Celine Dion, and others. IL VOLO bewitched and convinced even those hard to convince, they arrived at SanRemo, as super quests, and in the United States they are given standing ovations, they are hosted on all the great American shows, the likes of Good Morning America. Their 2011 tour turned out to be a huge success, and they worked on their second album, which has duets with Placido Domingo, and Eros Ramazotti. For the three, it is a dream come true, divided by music and international events, from the Christmas tree lightning in America to as far as Oslo, for the Noble evening there, and even here, at Porta a Porta, they managed to have success, where they had the second largest amount of viewers, next only to a popular politician in Italy, Bepe Grillo.

2014 opened up for them, by them being awarded the Billboard award in Miami, and by them performing at the Arena Di Verona, while their summer tour touched sixteen cities in America, they also confirmed an Italian tour, and it looks that the three will not stop here and that is for sure, because in the drawer they have, a tour in the east, and we will see a virtual duet with Elvis, on the stars 80th birthday, that will see IL VOLO, as the only Italian performers in the event, and as for vacations, well it seems they do not spend too much thinking of them.

And Ignazio asked Michelle if he was ready, and we hear Ignazio singing this Beautiful Italian song, Quando l amore diventa poesia! When love become poem.
Translation of the lyrics of this song, by Madeline Bugeja.

WHEN LOVE BECOMES A POEM
I SING, AND MY LOVE FOR YOU
THIS EVENING BECOMES A POEM
MY VOICE WILL BE A NOSTALGIC TEAR
I WILL NEVER ASK YOU, WHY YOU
WENT AWAY FROM ME
FOR ME, ALL THAT YOU DO IS RIGHT
I LOVE YOU, AND I WANT TO SHOUT IT
BUT THIS EVENING I CANNOT
EVEN BRING MYSELF TO SPEAK
BECAUSE I WOULD BREAK DOWN AND CRY
I SING AND THE SADNESS THAT IS IN ME
THIS EVENING BECOMES A MELODY
I STILL CRY FOR YOU
EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOW
MADNESS TO DO SO
I WOULD NOT ASK YOU
WHY YOU ARE NO LONGER MINE
FOR ME EVERYTHING
YOU DO IS RIGHT
BUT THE VOICE OF THE SOUL
SPEAKS softly  YOU KNOW
I LOVE YOU, AND I WANT TO SHOUT IT
BUT THIS EVENING I CANNOT EVEN SPEAK
BECAUSE I WOULD BREAK DOWN
AND CRY
I LOVE YOU OH! OH!

Part 6 of the interview IL VOLO at Porta a Porta 2014, From 31.05 to 38.50.

After we heard Ignazio sing, Bruno said , IGNAZIO BOSCHETTO AND MICHELLE TORPEDINE ON THE DRUMS! Michelle seems to have enjoyed playing, from the smile on his face, but he still made a gesture with his finger, that he would deal with Ignazio later, Bruno went over to Michelle and hugged him, congratulating him, while saying that in his opinion Michelle enjoyed that. We see Michelle hugging Ignazio.

Bruno asked Michelle what type of character were the boys? Which of them is more capricious, and has it all gone to their head that not one, but ? Michelle said that you can never know when they are going to come up with a prank also, it can happen anywhere, but they are BRAVISSIMI (very talented) Bruno here told them to always be humble, like Pavarotti always was, and Michelle said that not one in particular is capricious, but all three, because they have ideas, Michelle said, artistically speaking, they know what they want, what results to obtain, they are still young, but they all have very mature minds.

Bruno asked Michelle about future projects, and Michelle said that they had several, because they had just changed the recording company, and Michelle said that they now have a new family, and we thing that they are more close to our project, that we have now, he said that they are counting on doing a world tour, of fifty three countries, it is big project, and now they will be off to Russia, Bruno said, fifty three projects, fifty three countries, but how does that feel? Bruno asked the boys, Ignazio answered and said, that it was not easy, and Bruno told Ignazio that he has to learn Chinese, and Ignazio said “I am Ignazio” in Chinese, Ignazio said that they picked a few words, here and there, when they were promoting in Asia, but a bit of Chinese I know already, said Ignazio proudly.

Bruno said that they were going to see some clips of the duets they had, and after the clips Bruno asked the boys what kind of character did Barbara Streisand have? What type of person was she? Was she the type who after singing, says “ SEE YOU AND THANKS” ? or was there something more? Piero answered and said, that they did twelve concerts with her, and she is a living legend, she gives out a different image, but she was just like an aunt, just like all the great stars, she is humble, very reachable, but the thing is, when she arrives the air changes, you feel it in the air, that there is something different, when she speaks, it is as if an angel opened it’s mouth Piero said, with emotion in his beautiful voice.

Bruno remarked that even a macho man like Ignazio, looks emotional, Ignazio here said, that he may look macho, but he is a softie in real life, unfortunately, concluded Ignazio, Bruno here said that Ignazio had a fragile heart, to which Ignazio replied, that not a fragile heart no. Bruno asked Ignazio, how many times did he fall in love, to which Ignazio asked WHAT! (And here please stop the video for a minute, and feast your eyes at the cute expression on his face) (OK, no problem-Marie) Bruno again pressed Ignazio, and asked him, How many times did you fall in love? I think it was Michelle, who said that it was Ignazio that fell in love the most, here Ignazio tried to avoid the question thrown at him again, by saying that the tour with Barbara, went very well, and we hear Michelle laughing, which makes me think that this man knows something we don’t, and Bruno made the question to Ignazio again, and Ignazio gave in, and answered that he fell in love only once in his life so far, Ignazio said that he does not get carried away fast, Gian said he does, and Ignazio confirmed, Piero here said, that for sure he was the one that would marry first, and Ignazio said in that in Sicily they say that one gets engaged, he said it in Sicilian, and Gian tried to pronounce that, Ignazio told him, that he would master that, when Gian will be born again a Sicilian.

Ignazio here said, that Piero was engaged, or going steady, and Piero and Michelle here told Ignazio not to say the girl’s name on TV, to which Ignazio said “ oh goodness no, that is private” Ignazio continued to say, that Piero was engaged and we returned home, Monday, on Thursday, Ignazio said, he met Piero, and Ignazio asked Piero how was everything, and Piero told him, ‘We broke up” Piero here explained, that with their life the way it is, that is the life they lead, makes everything more complicated, Piero said, because Piero said, turning to look at Michelle, Michelle here keeps us always on the move, said Piero making a face, here Ignazio said that Piero should tell Michelle to always keep them on the move, Ignazio joked business wise it makes sense Ignazio.

PIERO’S CONFESSION!

Piero confessed, that he was in love with a girl, and that maybe he still is, but he said that this was a period, where there were always many things to think about, and here Gianluca warned Piero, to be careful because she might be watching and listening, and Piero bravely told Gianluca that he knows that, Bruno told Piero that he can imagine this girl with tears running down her face, knowing he was talking about her, and here funny Ignazio broke the moment by saying “ Here Maria De Filippi should show up” and that made everyone burst into laughter, because Maria De Filippi is a host of a show that brings couples back together, Bruno here told Piero if he understood what he just said, that is that Piero said, that maybe he is still in love with this girl, and that Michelle keeps them too busy, for him to be in one place, Piero said it is not Michelle’s fault, Piero here said, that he thinks he is still in love with this girl, because he saw her again, and Piero said, “ I know that maybe I still love her, because when I saw her my stomach closed up” ( Piero is so sweet,) Bruno said, that Piero’s stomach will soon open again when he sings this song, that Placido sang.

Bruno told the boys that they were not born in 1990 when Placido did this, Ignazio said that he was born four years later, Bruno here said that it was a memorable evening, and during the world cup that at Caracalla, where the three tenors where performing that Placido sang this song. We see and hear Piero singing this beautiful song.
