NEWS DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS by Daniela

On Christmas Day, “Helene Fischer Show” was broadcast on ZDF TV in Germany, the program recorded about a month ago and in which Il Volo also participated with the song “A CHI MI DICE”.

Beautiful and elegant as always and their voices, what can I say, fantastic and well blended with Helene’s voice.
The RAI 1 news talked about the new Il Volo EP, a really pleasant article, here it is.
Merry Christmas with the voices of Il Volo, the trio interprets 4 great traditional classics. (video starts)
A new album dedicated to the holidays is the gift that, 10 years after the release of BUON NATALE THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM, Il Volo puts under the tree.
From the most famous Italian trio of singers in the world and who is preparing to perform in Sanremo for the third time in a few weeks, 4XMAS, the most famous Christmas songs in the world in a dedicated album.
Warm voices that envelop and warm the atmosphere with four timeless hits including the cover of HAPPY CHRISTMAS –  WAR IS OVER by John Lennon, inevitably revisited with the addition of bel canto.
Food, wine, gifts, decorations, but also notes, because music cannot be missing at Christmas, and who knows whether the trio’s new melodies will soon become part of those “Christmas jingles” that struggle to get out of our heads and remind us with festive sounds, the happiest moments.
On the same day, our three lovely young men posted photos of themselves in the sweetness of Christmas.
MariaGrazia Barone, published this beautiful photo with the two brothers Francesco and Piero.
Ercole Ginoble published this sweet photo that portrays Ercole himself and his sons Gianluca and Ernesto around their grandfather Ernesto.
….and also a nice gathering at the Ginoble house with the whole family.
And finally, Michelle Bertolini published this beautiful photo portraying Ignazio in love embracing the beautiful Michelle. What a splendor this couple of lovers. ❤️
and if you are wondering if there was a declaration of love with  ring…..
YES IT HAPPENED  ❤️❤️
Ignazio officially declared himself to Michelle with the delivery of the ring!!!………
And this is the response Michelle posted:
SI Y MIL VECES SIIII AMORE MIO!!! Quiero pasar mi vida junto a ti.. TI AMO TANTO
YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES MY LOVE!!! I want to spend my life together with you.. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH❤️
The newspapers immediately seized on the news, which in a flash went around the world wide web via fan pages. 😍

IL VOLO, IGNAZIO’S MARRIAGE PROPOSAL TO MICHELLE.
Orange flowers at the Il Volo house, with the marriage proposal from Ignazio Boschetto to his partner Michelle Bertolini. The images posted by the two boys on Instagram really suggest the big step. The photos of the rings… They look really unmistakable!
Ignazio has been a regular couple for some time with the Italian-Venezuelan model who was elected Miss Venezuela in 2013 and spends her few free moments in South America.
In recent days on social media the two have posted some Instagram stories in which Michelle’s outfit stood out, truly breathtaking and amazing.
Michelle Marie Bertolini Araque, of clear Italian origins, was born in Caracas on 15 June 1994 and is 1.80 cm tall.
His family originates from Trieste, on his father Enrico Bertolini’s side. The mother Jackeline Araque is, however, Venezuelan. At the same time as her career as a model and entrepreneur, Michelle was also a professional tennis player, so much so that she entered the WTA circuit in 2010. A bad injury during a match on the circuit caused her to end her professional career prematurely.
There are no details on the probable wedding between Ignazio and Michelle, it seems certain that the musician is now completely focused on his next participation in the Sanremo Festival. Il Volo, in fact, will return to the Ariston 5 years after the third place in Musica which remains with the song entitled Capolavoro.

So, still lots of sweet news during these holidays and I could not update you right away, even if the news of the official engagement will certainly have already reached you!!
Surely after reading all this, your heart will be filled with so much happiness for our Ignazio who seems to have found his soul mate. 😍😍
There is still one event in which Il Volo will participate as a guest among the many singers, the end-of-year concert hosted by Amadeus which will be held outdoors, in the beautiful Piazza Pitagora in Crotone, Calabria and which will be broadcast live by RAI1 on December 31st from 9.00 pm (Italian time)

So a 2024 truly bursting with news and events awaits us, but for now let’s prepare to leave this 2023, so our best wishes reach you!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024!

with the hope that it will be a year of peace, and that your families will not lack health and happiness.
Daniela  ❤️🎉🥳🤗

  1. Merci Daniela pour ces articles toujours très agréables a lire et complet ! Je te souhaite de bonnes fêtes de fin d’année et te dis a l’année prochaine !

    1. Merci Paule pour les compliments, suivez-nous toujours car il y aura plein de nouvelles.
      Bonne année!

  2. I noticed Ignazio’s black earring [ left ear lobe ] is gone — was it symbolic that he would remove it when he was to be married ?

    1. Hi Rosemarie, no, Ignazio’s earring comes and goes without any reason, perhaps only when he remembers to put it on.
      And Happy New Year to you too!

  3. Daniela, thank you so very much for the updates and most especially for the translations. I couldn’t be any happier for Ignazio and MichelIe. They make a beautiful couple. I don’t think I have ever seen Ignazio as happy as he is in these photos. God has blessed him with a beautiful partner who truly loves him.
    I wish you and your family a very Happy and Blessed New Year.

    1. It’s true Mary Jane, Ignazio exudes happiness and I believe that this time he has found his love and we are happy for him.
      Happy New Year!

  4. Such a beautiful song, A Chi Mi Dice, and sung to the utmost by our three wonders and Helene Fischer. Those high notes were amazing!!
    Thank you for the Christmas pictures of our Il Volo with friends and family. Where was Gianluca’s lady??? Not available for the photos, or with her family??

    Have a very safe and Happy New Year everyone! Hugs, Dol.

    1. From what I’ve read elsewhere, Gianluca and Eleonora are no longer together. Allegedly. Others have commented that he has been posting on social media about the relationship ending. Until either of them are seen dating someone else it’s all rumours.

      1. Thordis, don’t believe everything the fan pages write, even if sometimes they guess. Gianluca has always been the first to let us know his news, he won’t be missing this time too, for now he hasn’t written anything about a possible breakup. I agree with you, as long as you don’t clearly see the breakup, it’s all rumors.
        Happy New Year!

    2. Dolores, many people ask me about Eleonora, I admit that lately we haven’t seen photos of Gianluca and Eleonora together and this is strange, but there is no official news of their breakup, perhaps a moment of estrangement? Time will tell.
      Happy New Year!

  5. So many good news at the end of the year. Sanremo, annoucement of the concerts in Verona and finally engagement of Ignazio and Michelle. They look so happy and beautiful together. I’m so happy for them and wish them all the best. Thank you Daniela and Pat for this beautiful article and for all you do for us, wish all of you all Happy New Year, especially many great impressions related to Il Volo and their music.

    1. Yes Jolanta, there are always many new things and Ignazio’s latest, as well as surprising us, moved us, seeing him so happy makes us feel good.
      Happy New Year with the hope of seeing you again!

    1. RoseMarie, we hope with all our heart that the couple can find a lot of happiness, they are not two kids and this is a very important step. We will be close to them and enjoy their happiness.
      Happy Holidays dear friend.

    1. Happy New Year to you too Jeanne, we are all happy for Ignazio and Michelle and wish them all the best.

  6. Wonderful news – and they even have matching dimples!!
    I’m assuming that Michelle speaks Italian very well, and am hoping she’s willing to move to Italy. She’s a lovely gal, and a very lucky one too!

    1. Yes Judi, Michelle speaks Italian well and is often in Italy, she will certainly have no problems reaching her Ignazio whenever she can.
      Buon Anno Nuovo!

    1. I agree Mark, Ignazio has a lot of love to give and wants to be loved, he has always admitted that he wants a family soon and perhaps he has found his other half, we wish it to him with all our heart.
      Happy New Year!

  7. It just shows that Dreams can come true!! Daniela’s posting of November 28, 2023 (Gianluca speaks out) showed a photo of Michelle at a Meet & Greet in Budapest in 2019. Now, four years later, she is engaged to Ignazio!!! How wonderful! I wonder if he remembers meeting her at that time?? Hugs, Dol.

    1. Dolores absolutely agree, dreams can come true, under that photo she had written that she was their number one fan, surely they would have seen each other on other occasions and concerts and then “the roses bloomed”.
      Happy New Year!

  8. Thank you Daniella and Pat…..such a great story! I’m so excited to see what this year brings.
    I am thrilled for Igna and his beautiful Michelle, what a really lovely couple…..getting ahead of things here but what gorgeous bambinos they will have with huge eyes and dimples! I feel badly for Gian, hoping he will be happy again …..he and Piero!
    Very exciting times!
    HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR WITH PEACE IN THE WORLD!
    ALL The best to you and your families, hope your Christmas were Merry and Blessed, Carol

    1. You’re most welcome, Carol! 😊 Happy New Year to you and yours! 🎉 I am praying for peace in the world!

  9. As always, Danielle on your stories are enticing, and fun for all of us thank you for your wonderful care with il Volo we love and appreciate all you do for us. I’m headed for Sicily at this moment and hope to send pictures in for y’all to see soon! Happy new year to all!!!!!

    1. How wonderful Cindi you are headed to Sicily. After the New Year’s concert, Piero will surely return to Sicily, who knows, maybe you’ll see him!!
      Happy New Year in Sicily!

  10. Lovely photos. I listen to the guys exclusively and I love the song “Non farmi aspettare” because it suits their voices so beautifully. Ignazio soars above with his perfect pitch voice. I’ve not seen this one on a dvd but I picture them singing it so clearly.

  11. Grazie.
    Happy for Ignazio – hope it’s a great match!
    She’s a lucky lady.

    Hallelujah song was incredible!!
    I treasure their 2022 Christmas concert!

    Happy and healthy New Year Blessings.

  12. Better late than never… I have finally gotten around to read your above article. Thank you Daniela and Pat for always being on top of the news.

    I am especially delighted to read the article by RAI 1 – What a great praise of our guys! They have most certainly gotten around to acknowledge them now using big words and speaking highly of them 👍❤️

    I was so lucky being able to watch the Helene Fisher Show directly as I have access to the two major German TV Stations (Denmark bordering to Germany). And What joy to experience the guys on stage! So absolutely one of the best acts during the entire show! They looked gorgeous in their elegant black tux and they were singing their best. Besutiful. And I must even admit that It sounded good with Helene joining them. She is actually a very good singer and she and Ignazio suited each other perfect on the high notes. So well done guys – kudos! Only sad that she allowed them one song only while a few other not particularly good other artists were given two… Anyhow seems that she Will be invited to sing with them again when they tour Germany coming September.

    Lovely to see the x-mad greetings from the guys and their families. Oh boy does Gianluca have a big family!!! And I am surprised to learn that the Italians wear crazy paper hats at Christmas as well – I thought it was a British tradition?

    Finally my warmest congratulations to Ignazio and his beautiful fiancé. I hadn’t seen this come but I am truly happy on their behalf and wish them all the best and lots of happiness together.

    Belated happy new year to the administration and members of “the flight crew” wishing all of you peace, good health and many happy moments in 2024! Warm regards – Kirsten

  13. Because I can’t find the picture – I need to ask you : who did Ignazio date after Alessandra – there was a picture of a gal wearing the red ruby ring he bought her and she was wearing a red satin long dress and posed with her parents and sister at one of their concerts [outside]. [ She was dark-haired and wore it in an updo for this concert picture ] . It was not the fairly recent Brazilian dancer ]. Hope you can help- Thanks for your Il Volo news .
