Vito Boschetto, father of Ignazio de Il Volo, has died.
Vito Boschetto, father of Ignazio, Marsala singer of Il Volo, together with Piero Barone and Gianluca Ginoble, died on the evening of Sunday 28 February. The man died in Bologna, where his son lives, due to a sudden illness that left him no way out.
Married to Caterina Licari, Vito also has an eldest daughter, Nina, who ran a pizzeria for years. A close-knit family that has always supported their son far and wide throughout Italy, making him study until the success obtained with the broadcast “Ti lascio una canzone” on Rai Uno with the conduction of Antonella Clerici, aimed at the discovery of children’s talents. It is there that Ignazio Boschetto met the other two “tenorini” Piero and Gianluca with whom he will form Il Volo, which achieved worldwide success.
On March 3 Il Volo should perform on the stage of the 71st Sanremo Festival. But confirmations are expected after this tragic news.
Covid has nothing to do with it, it was a tumor, recently discovered, but unfortunately in an advanced state, which left Vito no chance for a regression.
I do not dare to think of the infinite pain of Ignatius who, we remember, did a good part of his travels and stayed abroad accompanied by his beloved father.
Unfortunately, the harsh reality is this and Ignazio, already shy enough for personal news, lived this last period of his father’s life, without divulging the news, living the pain together with his family, his mother Caterina and his sister Nina.
The Il Volo family also gathered around Ignazio and his family, but could only watch the events helplessly.
Gianluca today published a series of their photos and the last photo represents Il Volo in a moment of meditation, with Ignazio looking up.
ALWAYS TOGETHER. What can best represent the three of them, in every moment of life, even the saddest, ALWAYS TOGETHER.
Dear Ignazio, you are always so cheerful, so joyful, but now you have the agony in your heart, your dear dad is gone.
We Volovers hold you in a long affectionate embrace around you and your mother Caterina and your sister Nina.
Our prayers reach Vito who from above will guide you in your life, proud of you.
No words can be of comfort to you, but all our affection reaches you from the depths of our hearts.
A big hug: Il Volo Flight Crew
R.I.P.
The Flight Crew staff with all the fans will try to deliver to Ignazio and his family a floral message of deep condolences and affection.

Il est parti mais il ne t’as pas quitté
Il est parti mais n’a pas cessé de t’aimer
Il est parti mais il est là comme toujours avec toi,
Car Ignazio, ces choses là ne change pas,
ou plutôt oui, elles changent :
elles deviennent plus grandes
À mesure qu’on grandi l’amour fleuri
chaque jour …mieux compris….
My condolences & prayers to the entire family
My love to the IL Volo families. I can’t imagine what they are all going through. I am so very, very sorry for Ignazio Caterina and Nina. I feel like someone in my family has died. Like Gaetano and Ercole, Vito was a father to them all. May his memory be eternal.

One of life’s most difficult passages unites us all. The loss of a parent. The world grieves with you , dear Ignazio.
Dearest Ignazio, since the beginning of knowing you, I as a grandmother have held your family in my heart with my family. I grieve with you and know that right now there is no comfort. Just know I am with you anyway with my love, prayers and support.
I am so sad to hear this terrible news. I think of Igna quietly suffering with the news of his father’s illness for sometime and I know it was hard. I never had the chance to meet Vito, but i am sure he was a wonderful and supportive husband and father, and I am sure he was very proud of his family. He will be missed, but live in their hearts forever. I offer my sincere condolences to the Boschetto family, and my prayers that they will get through this hard time. Thank you to the Flight Crew staff for getting a floral tribute to the family to show our love. I will donate online to that cause
I know not the words to express my sadness for the family. I knew from meeting IL Volo guys, they were close family ties for all of them. I also felt the closeness when IL Volo guys would talk of family. I am deeply sorry for your loss Ignazio and family. Rest assured the goodness and the love of family will always be with you. I believe life is to be lived to the fullest and I felt that immediately when I saw each with their familiy. Blessings to the Boschetto family and may God hold your hands together and your hearts and know you will be together for eternity. Prayers for comfort and may God bless each of you. Reach to the heavens Ignazio when you need your Dad and I believe you will be comforted.
RIP Vito. You were a great husband and father to your family. Ignazio my heart felt sympathy for your dads loss. We love you .
You can shed tears that he has gone
Or you can smile that he has lived.
I’m smiling that Vito lived.
We love your son and grieve for the entire Boschetto family.
My deepest sympathy to Ignazio, his mom and his sister. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May your memories of you dad bring you comfort. May the love of your fans and your brothers Gianluca and Piero help you thru this. A hug to all of you.
I just donated $25.00 to IlVoloFlightCrew for the floral message if you are able to send one. My heart is crying.
I have such deep sorrow for both the immediate family and the entire Il Volo family.
Thank you Jana, Pat and especially Daniela. This had to be a hard one to write.
You’re welcome, Marie…..I was crying after I read the last words that Daniela wrote. We are all heartbroken for Ignazio and his family.
Yes Marie, it was tremendously difficult and even now I can’t think of the great pain that struck Ignazio, Caterina and Nina. It was all like lightning. May Vito rest in peace.
My heart is heavy, but just reading the lovely comments helps.
Lets hope the family takes all the time they need. My prayers go out
to the Boschetto family and the entire Il Volo family as well.
Gracias por informarnos. Que en paz descanse Sr. Vito, y para Ignazio un abrazo a la distancia
My deepest sympathy goes to Ignazio, his mother Caterina and his sister Nina. I will keep his beloved father Vito and all his family in my prayers. I sincerely hope he was able to spend more time recently with his beautiful family!
Thank you, Daniela, for the information, however sad. It’s tough to see someone so appreciated go so young and so fast. I’m happy that Vito at least was able to witness his son’s great success. To Ignazio, his family and all the Il Volo family, my heart-felt sympathy and my prayers every day. Dearest Ignazio, please keep strong, keep going, as your father would want you to do.
Woke up this morning to the devistating news that the Boschetta family have lost a much loved member. My thoughts are with Ignazio, his mother, sister and extended family at this sad time. Senore Boschetta will be greatly missed not only by his family but the II Volo family he was an intergral part from the start. We know that everyone will surround Ignazio and his family with so much love and support at this time. All thought are with everyone at this time from Australia💔💔
Querido Ignazio, te acompaño en este dolor tan grande. Un gran abrazo para ti y para tu familia.
Such very sad news! Condolences to family and friends!
My dear Ignazio. My heart is absolutely breaking for you today. I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful Father but know that he is with you always. I found comfort in these words when I lost my Son and I hope you will find some comfort now.
Please don’t grieve now that I have left your side
There’s a peaceful place where I now reside
My life on earth is gone its true
But always hnow I’m still with you
The joys I’ve had and the loved filled days
The happy moments in many countless ways
Friendships so special happiness and sorrows
Make memories last and bring sunshine tomorrows
God called you sooner and why we don’t know
There’s peace in knowing it was my time to go
When winds gently blow and the sun shines through
Remember I’m free and I’m still with you
Sending you love and prayers to help get you through this difficult time.❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
So so sorry for the loss of your father. Dearest Ignazio we love you and your family so much. Please take care and stay strong.
Our prayers are with this lovely fam

Thank you Daniela for posting this so quickly and for your beautiful words. The Boschetto family suffered privately so it was a great shock to learn that Ignazio, Caterina and Nina lost their beloved father and husband last night. My heartfelt condolences and love goes out to all of them and their family and friends during this time of great sadness and grief.❤️💔❤️
Dearest Ignazio my deepest condolences to you, your Mother Caterina and your Sister Nina on the sudden passing of your dear Father Vito.
Losing a parent is never easy and your parents raised you and brought you up to be the true kind gentleman that you are. You were blessed to have such a loving mother and father guiding you always with love and care. I cannot imagine the grief you and your family and your brothers and their families are experiencing at this time. You three guys were blessed with two additional fathers, yours and your brother’s fathers. These three amazing fathers were always there to support and watch over their amazing sons. I know that your family and your dear brothers and their families will surround you with their love and care during this difficult time. You now have a special Angel in Heaven to look after you. In each photo of you and your father, it was there for all to see the admiration and love and pride you had for each other. We your Il Volo fans are grieving for your tremendous loss. Please know that you and your family will be in our hearts and prayers each day.
We love you Ignazio and all our arms are encircling you now with this love. May the Good Lord’s special angels carry your dear father to his eternal rest and peace.
