Ode To Ignazio Boschetto ~ by Valeria Bosch
ODE TO THE VOICE OF IGNAZIO BOSCHETTO
I am a fan of all three of Il Volo’s boys. I find matchless their way to make music, their song better than the angels, outstanding the idea of ​​putting them together, giving us all a phenomenon that will mark the musical history of these years. So it’s right I love and support them all in equal measure.Â
But, you know, the flesh is weak and nourish a passion, a preference I think is a pardonable sin. Well, my weakness is called Ignazio.  I love Gianluca’s singing, with his wonderful hot and caressing voice, and also Piero, with his excellent male and powerful tone. But Ignazio, in my way of feeling,  has that extra quid, an added value, because he gives me, when I listen, an emotion that no other voice ever gave me. I tried to analyze, as if it were a chemical reaction, what “reagents” cause me everything and here are the conclusions:
1- Ignazio’s voice is clear and crystal. It is the very essence of FRESHNESS, referring to natural scenery made of clear skies, spring waters, and green blinding meadows. His entrances make the lighter and brighter the musical fabric, think of “Quando l’amore diventa poesia”, “Tornerà l’amore” to the same “Grande amore.”
2 – Ignazio’s voice is FEELING and EMOTION.   When he sings “Memory” or “Unchained Melody,” it becomes penetrating and sensual, digs you into the soul. His vibrations exert a fascination on the listener that leaves the desire that his singing will never end.
3 – Ignazio’s voice is PASSION.   In some songs he does not enter, but “breaks” into the musical fabric.  Just think of “Cinque giorni” or “Aspetterò,” where his impetus opens up scenarios of ardor and passion as whether it would lead to paroxysmal love.
4- Ignazio’s voice has a thousand facets and shades.   We are accustomed to listening to him in modern and lyrical pop. It was a great surprise that last winter, during a House Party broadcast, we saw him masterfully interpret, “Somebody to love,” by  Queen, and naturally bear the impact with the rock style of Gianna Nannini in “Meravigliosa Creatura.”
5 Ignazio’s voice is MUSIC itself. When Ignatio sings, he forgets everything, closes in a bubble of his own, becomes unique with the notes he is interpreting, allowing him to give the text an unprecedented expression.
Below, his solo interpretation of the famous “Caruso,” performed when he was not yet 20 years old in the “Porta a Porta” broadcast, just as an example of the extraordinary nature of this unique voice.

~~What Guys, Our Guys!! ~~ by Daniela
On November 10, 2017, this article written by Bartoletti was published on Facebook.
Marino Bartoletti is a renowned Italian journalist and writer.  He is an extremely correct and exquisite person and ……. loves IL VOLO.
I translate for you what he has written.  I’m moved by reading it.
How much value do they have in the world of entertainment and communication, which I somehow represent, affection, esteem, sincerity?  How much value do the human relationships have? How much value does friendship have?  Last night, while presenting my book at San Lazzaro di Savena, a step from Bologna, amid an audience – I seem to be able to say, interested and involved – came from the back of the room two guys who are famous all over the world: but really VERY famous. They sat with discretion: they attended, applauded. They smiled at me.
Those two guys were Ignazio Boschetto and Piero Barone, that is, “IL VOLO”, accompanied by their manager Michele Torpedine.   Gianluca Ginoble was not present. However, he sent me a very affectionate message, as he was not able to attend only because he was blocked by a commitment hundreds of kilometers away.  Until a few days ago they were on a stage. They were on the “Luna Park” in Buenos Aires not at the San Lazzaro Media Center, before going to Miami, then jumping to Kiev, acclaimed by thousands of crazy fans.
 
Yes, I admit, the one in the middle is not Ignazio. But Piero and Gianluca are the real ones, those of IL VOLO. And I always meet them with great joy. Because beyond their talent, their spirit of sacrifice, their desire to improve themselves, the persistence with which they hold the good name of Italian music in the world (they are backed by a triumphant tour in Central and South America and are about to launch a new album to say the least surprising), I consider them above all, and first of all simple and wonderful guys. Why am I saying that? Because I KNOW THEM!
Â
To those who were astonished at their entrance, they replied, “What is it? We wanted to surprise Marino and we came to greet him.”Â
I would like to say who writes negative about them, to those who write antipathy forbidden and meaningless, who even insult them (for evil gratuity? By ignorance? Perhaps by envy?) If they had the opportunity to look these guys in the eyes, only once, they would understand so many things.
Thank you for your visit, champions. I’m sorry I can not go to Tokyo next week. But I know you will be very good on your own.
Marino Bartoletti is really a great friend of our guys, so he often defended them in various television broadcasts and defended them by the jury of Sanremo too.
GRAZIE MARINO!!

~Il Volo Super-Guest to Sanremo ~ by Daniela
Today in Italy several pages have reported this news:Â IL VOLO will be in Sanremo as super-guests.
Of course I can not describe the happiness all of us feel with this news, but we will have to be very cautious because last year it was reported for certain their presence but then it was not true.
I chose the article published by ZON.IT and written by Antonella Esposito.  I will translate it for you.
SANREMO: ANNOUNCED THE PRESENCE OF IL VOLO
Sanremo is coming closer and with it comes the first rumors about the hosts and the name of IL VOLO stands out.
Sanremo is always Sanremo. Claudio Baglioni will present the festival. He is also responsible for the entire organization and choice of the songs and the list of international guests. He wants to respect more than ever the historical phrase that has made it a world famous singing contest.  Baglioni, (the Roman songwriter) is making his first Sanremo beautiful as he will be conducting (he is Sanremo’s artistic director) and also for the guest series which he will propose.Â
In short, Baglioni will do his utmost to make a beautiful figure in conducting his first Sanremo festival.
Many different names have been mentioned, from Miriam Leone to Ilaria D’Amico, by Sabrina Ferilli to the brothers Fiorello, but no confirmation so far. Half certainty seems to concern the boys of Il Volo instead. As announced by TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, the return of Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca would be almost certain. The three artists after winning the GRANDE AMORE song in 2015, would be ready to re-enter Sanremo 2018, the first time led by Baglioni and his co-conducting team still top-secret (at least until January).
The news of Il Volo in Sanremo had already been given in the previous edition and then denied. Fans of the trio representing beautiful singing in Italy and overseas, can not but stay on edge and trust in the confirmation of the announcement given by the weekly publication of music and television. However there are some details that leave us uncertain and hoping.
IL VOLO has recently been involved with recording tracks that will feature the new album released in 2018.  Also in October, there are photos that portray the three artists working on the disc, in the company of their producer, Emilio Estefan, husband of the famous Gloria.
Everything suggests that the stage of the ARISTON (the name of the theater) could be a launch pad for the single, which will open the brand new Sony Latin music CD. What better place than Sanremo to present what the trio called “a pop revolution”? Â
We will learn exactly who will be on the list of international guests at the preview press conference, scheduled for January. Until then, the confidentiality, chosen by Baglioni, for this 2018 edition, will have the best of any chatter and gossip.
We just have to cross our fingers …… meanwhile, below is Il Volo in Sanremo 2015.

Il Volo & Energetix!
Ciao a tutti! Or should I say Guten Tag? 🙂
Remember back in September when the guys did the special concert for Energetix in Germany? Well, that just started, as my rep says, my snowball rolling! I was suddenly enamored with the jewelry, as I think many of you were, and found out as much as I 
could! I then took the “froggy” leap and decided to become an independent consultant and sell the wonderful, beautiful jewelry. I quickly found that this jewelry is made of very high quality components, including surgical stainless steel, Swarovski crystals, real leather, copper and a few other items, as well as their magnetic touch! 🙂  These magnets are the same as is used in magnetic therapy.
When I finally got my items….(unfortunately, right after I signed up, hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico where their US headquarters was for Energetix. Luckily, they had already scoped out LA and were able to move much of their operations to California!) I gave a few items to some friends to try it out to see if this really worked. I also tried a few things myself. I will say this – I had a sort of tennis elbow going on for a month or so, not sure where I got it from, as I don’t play tennis! However, it was very painful when picking up my somewhat heavy Il Volo mug, while drinking my morning coffee. I would take some pain reliever and the pain would lessen. I put on the flex bracelet I got and within a day, the pain had subsided to almost nil! The bracelet is so comfortable, I even wear it to bed. It is not gone completely, but I wear it every day and I have not taken any pain reliever since – at least for that issue.
I gave another friend a bracelet also. After a few weeks, I asked her how her knees were. She said she was not sure if it was the power of suggestion, or the bracelet, but her knees were feeling better and it was easier for her to go up stairs. Shortly after, she bought the bracelet, as well as a few other items!
I gave another friend a few of the bracelets also. She has been having the neuropathy issue with her feet. She recently complained to the doctor regarding the pain and they
said they could not give her anything else. She started to wear the bracelets. I asked her how she was feeling. She said much better!
Granted, each of those persons, including myself, had different forms of pain, but by wearing the bracelets, it either made it almost go away, or at least lessened it. I did give the huge pebble magnet to another friend that had various pain issues, some fairly chronic, and she said it did not help her. But she may have needed to give it more time, or it was just not for her.
Just coincidentally, as I was looking through the catalog, I noticed 2 pieces of jewelry that just screamed “Il Volo fan!”  There is a pendant and a bracelet, both sporting a very beautiful wing – very similar to the Il Volo logo wing, but just opposite, in design. The pendant has a little mother of pearl disk on it that says “I protect you.” (io per te ci saro come to mind?) The bracelet does not have this, but is just as beautiful. In the new catalog, with the guys, they are offering new matching earrings. I cannot give you a price on those, as they are only in euros right now, since the new catalog is not officially out yet, but it’s out there to tease us with their pictures in it, of course! Below are the pictures of the items with their prices and item numbers.
So, if you are interested in the above items and want to relieve some pain, why not check out my website and see the gorgeous offerings they have for you. This is my personal website, with the company. If these items do not fit your budget, I am sure you will find something that might. Just think, you may spend a minimum of $100 a year for pain relievers, prescription pain relievers, etc. and no one sees the benefits. You can buy one piece of jewelry for the same amount of money, have it relieve your pain and it’s beautiful to look at, too! 🙂
A note about the ordering… since much of their US inventory was in Puerto Rico, it had been damaged in the hurricane, so many of these items are coming right from Germany. Shipping right now is about 2 weeks, but I would recommend if you want something for a Christmas gift to order as soon as possible, to make sure you will get it in time.
I’m sure you are all wondering when the catalog is coming out. It won’t be out until January, but I am enclosing the link for you to drool over. 🙂 As well as the link to my website. All of my contact info is on the site, please feel free to contact me, preferably by email, as I work during the day, or you may call me in the evenings – EST.
So, why not double your pleasure and buy a piece of jewelry and listen to the guys. Either way, you will feel better! If you feel you cannot wear magnetic jewelry, be 
sure to check with your doctor if you have any questions. They also have a magnetic water stick, you can put in both cold, hot, and alcoholic beverages, that emit the same magnetic properties into your beverages. (this particular stick is not available in the 2018 catalog, and it is my favorite, so order now! – #2877) Never buy bottled water, or Brita/Pur filters again!
Here is my website address! Be sure to read all of the info on health and wellness! When you open the website and look for items, be sure to click on the little box that says “show images.” Shipping is just $10 flat rate price for your entire order, if less than $150 – free, if over. https://janamarie.energetix.tv/?loc=en
Here is the sneak peak of the 2018 catalog! Give it a few seconds and our guys will pop to life right before your eyes!  https://shop.energetix.tv/?blaetterkatalog=main2018&loc=en
You may also have to scroll down a bit and the catalog will be at the bottom with their picture on the cover. Realize the prices in the 2018 catalog are in Euros and they will be approximately 15% – 20% higher in US dollars.
