Sometimes fate reserves beautiful things for us…
I had already told you that on the evening of the concert in Macerata, during the song Here’s to You where Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca perform as they get off the stage and go among the people, a nice meeting had happened.
In fact, in the audience there was Monica Carducci with her husband and their two sons Mattia and Giorgio.
For those who don’t remember and for new members, I remember that the first meeting between Mattia and Il Volo took place during the concert in Tagliacozzo, a town in Abruzzo, in 2022 of which I will attach some photos and a video that you will immediately recognize. 😍🥰❤️
So far the events of two years ago, exactly July 2022.
But then it happens that Il Volo will do two concerts in Macerata in 2024 and so Monica and her husband decide to go to the concert with Mattia and Giorgio.
They sit in the audience and at the moment of the song HERE’S TO YOU, when Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero come down from the stage to sing among people, something happens.
But here are Monica’s words:
“It is not at all easy to attract so much attention and involvement from world-famous artists like ‘Il Volo’, regardless of disability. Although they are three boys with very strong sensitivity, Mattia must be recognized for his great abilities, hard-earned with an enormous passion for the music and the stage, and with determination to spare! I saw him running with all his might through the crowd to reach Piero Barone…❤️”
And that’s right, I attach this video to the moment of the meeting between Piero and Mattia. Piero, having immediately recognized the child, called Ignazio who was nearby to show him.🥰

But that’s not all, Mattia and Giorgio are taken backstage after the concert and here’s what happens from Monica’s own words.
On 22 August 2022 Mattia’s first meeting with Il Volo!…. The beginning of a beautiful fairy tale that continues this very evening in Macerata! ….Mattia and Piero meet during the concert and Piero doesn’t hesitate not even a moment in recognizing him!
At the end of the concert Mattia and Giorgio experience further beautiful emotions in the dressing rooms of three very talented, humble and infinitely sensitive guys!
Three great artists with immense humanity, who did not back down to any of Mattia’s requests: with Mattia yesterday, backstage, they sang, video-called their families (and met those present, including girlfriends!😅) and told a lot about the their private (those who know Mattia know his requests!😅)

A wonderful evening and the gift is not only for Mattia, but also for Giorgio who turned ten right at midnight!😍….And the first to wish him a Happy Birthday were the Volo guys who gave him the pass! ❤️
Happy birthday Giorgio, my heart, happy birthday to you wonderful little boy, best wishes for your tenth birthday! After the beautiful meeting, Giorgio’s immediate opinion….:
“Mum, I thought that they wouldn’t didn’t even look at me and instead they were very sweet!’ (mother’s heart!)”❤️
❤️ A birthday we will never forget!
“And thanks to those who made this dream possible! ❤️ For all the difficulties we encounter and for what life takes from you, may it still give you many of these splendid emotions…. How wonderful to see you happy! 💙💙 Best wishes Giorgiooooo!!! !❤️….And humanity, don’t just let me tell you!💖 with all the love I can….!!!!❤️….and the fairy tale….CONTINUES! ” ❤️
The beautiful story was also transcribed by RADIO STELLA AVEZZANO, a tale that I will translate for you!
A true fairy tale full of love
Today I want to tell you a fairy tale which is not invented but is true. It all starts on August 22, 2022 in the splendid Piazza dell’Obelisco in Tagliacozzo, where on the last evening of the International Midsummer Festival there was Il Volo in concert. That evening there was a magical meeting between Ignazio Boschetto, Piero Barone and Gianluca Ginoble with Mattia, a boy who loves music above all else and who even went on stage that evening and sang with them. For those who were present at the concert like me that evening it was truly an emotional moment, seeing these three world-famous artists duet with Mattia who, to say he was happy, doesn’t even give an idea.
After that concert Mattia continued to sing Il Volo songs at home and asked his mother Monica, as soon as possible, to come back to see them in concert.
The occasion took place last night in the splendid setting of the Sferisterio in Macerata, Mattia went to see Il Volo with his super brother Giorgio and his parents. During live performances Piero has the habit of getting off the stage and wandering around the audience. As soon as he saw Mattia he immediately recognized him and said “Tagliacozzo!” with a big smile. At the end of the concert, mother Monica and her two children approached the dressing rooms and, wonder of wonders, the three artists welcomed them with open arms, spending unforgettable moments with them. In all this, at midnight Giorgio had his birthday and, a little disconsolately, he confided to his mother that they would certainly give him little confidence. Instead, Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero, in addition to wishing him well, gave him a pass for the next concerts.
Describing the happiness of Mattia and Giorgio is almost impossible for me, demonstrating that there are artists who do not forget that they are people, who know how to give affection, attention, joy. A lesson of great humanity, towards a family that fights every day for many situations, but that does everything to give moments of happiness to Giorgio and Mattia.
Monica is a super mother, who is always on the front line for the good of others, who faces daily battles and who, if you read her on social media, always closes her posts like this “with all the love I can”. Dear Monica, this time, in addition to your love, you have also found that of Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero, music can reach and take you far.
Mattia will definitely become an artist, but today is Giorgio’s day. Best wishes and may it be a wonderful birthday!
Fairy tales exist and come true for those whose hearts are full of love.

Giorgio , Ercole Ginoble and Mattia
What a magnificent story, indeed what a beautiful reality, because sometimes real things exist, when there are special people, sensitive and loving people as Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio really are and when special people meet special families, like the whole family of Mattia and Giorgio, the moments that arise are unique and fill our hearts.❤️
A big hug to Mattia who has music in his blood, to Giorgio who is his champion and to mum and dad who face life’s problems every day.
A big hug to Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio for being as you are, never change!!❤️

Beautiful story. IL Volo will never change. We are so blessed to have have them in our lives, when the world is upside down. Their music brings joy to our hearts and homes. Thank you.
That’s exactly how Gail is. After she attended the concert in Macerata, Monica, the mother of the two children, wrote these exact words on her Facebook page:
“With Il Volo…..it takes so little to be so happy”💖
What a heartwarming story, Daniela. As much as I cried at Igna and Michelle’s wedding videos, I smiled while watching Mattia singing with our special people, Gian, Igna and Piero. They are truly exceptions to the usual idea of celebrities. So much heart with love to spare. 🧡🧡🧡 Hugs, Dol.
Dolores, are beautiful stories that open your heart and make you smile because you think that there is still so much joy in this world. 😍
Such an awesome story. Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca always make the world a better place, one person at a time.Love to our guys always. ❤️
I totally agree Gin! 🥰
Loved this story, have seen them with children so many times on stage throughout the years. Makes you love them even more than just hearing them sing. Never tire of seeing or hearing them, watch them every night on youtube.
They are great!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely, Linda! 🤩
Yes Beverley, we have seen other stories like these over the years, because it is the way of being of Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, they are guys with generous hearts and who love children. 🤩
I couldn’t wait to share this story with my sister and some of my friends who love IL Volo. These three amazingly humble and talented artists go over and beyond in kindness for their fans. Mattia and Giorgio are forever blessed with the love shown to them by Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca. May “our boys” be always in God’s favor protecting and guiding in the destiny He has given them. Ellie from Doylestown, Pa….
Beautiful words Ellie, I would love to know what your friends say when you show them this item, they will definitely be thrilled. 😘
Danke für diesen wunderschönen Bericht . Es hat mich sehr berührt. PIERO IGNAZIO UND GIANLUCA haben ein so großes Herz für die Kinder .
Die Jungs bzw. (Jungen Männer 😉) sind einfach einzigartig wunderbar.
Danke Danke aus Deutschland ❤️
Claudia, diese Gesten berühren uns zutiefst, schließlich ist es so einfach, diese Kinder zu lieben, das Schwierige ist manchmal, es zu zeigen, und Il Volo hat keine Angst davor!
Claudia, these gestures deeply touch our hearts, after all it is so easy to love these children, the difficult thing sometimes is to demonstrate it and Il Volo is not afraid of this!
Daniela, who doesn’t love a fairytale! But one that is true is much more precious every time! There will never be a time for us to be disappointed in Gian, Piero or Ignazio, how could there be! They always exude love, kindness and compassion, it’s who they are. Mattia and Giorgio are special young boys, especially Giorgio who it’s appears lives in his brother’s shadow a bit. I love that they celebrated him on his birthday. The brothers are very sweet and Mattia seems very into Music…..this writing filled my heart. It was so full of love, compassion and kindness from our three wonders…..Gian, Piero and Ignazio you are beautiful examples of love to the world and all of us. God Bless you always🙏🏻.
Thank you Daniela and Pat for big smiles this morning!
Much love and appreciation, Carol💖💖💖🙏🏻☮️🎼🎤🎵🎶🩷😘🤗
You’re most welcome, Carol! 😘
Carol you said it right, Mattia and Giorgio are special boys and I too am happy that Giorgio had the attention for his birthday, I don’t think it is easy for him to always stay one step behind, but the affection he has for the brother, indeed that both have each other is wonderful. Honor to Il Volo for their simplicity, their affection and for understanding that it was also Giorgio’s special day. 😉
Beautiful story,that’s why Piero,Ignazio,and Gianluca are loved all over the world not just for their musical talent but for their humility.
In fact Judi, I have always said that the fans’ love for Il Volo does not stop only at the fact that they are undoubtedly excellent artists, but also for their way of being!!😍
This story shows when you give of yourselves, you can change the world one person at a time (times 3 for Piero, Ignacio and Gianluca).if everyone does this we could change cities, countries and the world in months! Change isn’t about dollars and cents (or euros 💶) it is respect, humility, kindness and love, we all own it so let’s ensure we do what these 3 men showed us how and what to do! When is NOW. Thank you all for the love you give me to share ❤️
Sheila you are so right on! I’m always amazed how easy it is to be kind, empathetic, respectful, humble and loving to people you really know! We do it everyday with the people we love but think it’s up to another individual to pass that kindness off to the panhandlers, the poor the disabled and the needy in our own countries or any other country! It takes but a second to look up at them and smile, say have a good day, to let them at least know they’ve been seen by someone. Everyone can do that in varying degrees and not spend a dollar. Giving of yourself is what feeds the soul…theirs and yours!
Gian, Piero and Ignazio are wonderful examples of what every human being can do for another, even if we started with one person at a time……I’d surely like to see it start right in America!
Praying all the time for peace in the world but it does have to start somewhere, one person at a time! Our ILVOLO has the unique opportunity to infect many people with their actions of humility everyday, let all start to follow their example! Love and peace, Carol🇺🇸Fl. 🤗🙏☮️💖💖💖
It’s true Carol, you have to start somewhere and Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca are fantastic examples of this.🥰
Good words Sheila, but sometimes I wonder what some men have in their heads who only have the thought of wars and destruction!!
Maybe we should force them to see such things, maybe their stony hearts would melt.
Thank you Daniela and Pat for this uplifting report. As I read it and wiped away a tear of happiness, it made me think of a quote by Barbra Streisand that I once read: ” They say that success changes a person, but I think it actually makes you more of who you really are.” That describes the guys of Il Volo perfectly, don’t you think?
You’re very welcome, Maija! 😊 And I agree with Barbra!
I agree too
I think Barbra was right, Maija, in fact Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero have demonstrated this “way of being” from the beginning and having become famous has not diminished all this, on the contrary they have given it even more importance.
This is such a huge heartfelt report from you beautiful girls – I had to reciprocate immediately – the little boys Giorgio & his brother Mattia who has ‘Downs Syndrome’ – are an absolute delight as all ‘Downs Syndrome’ people are – they never hurt anybody – they are great to be around & they are fiercely loyal – I have a ‘Downs Syndrome’ friend & she is stunning – they only have one more chromosome than the rest of us & I have always said – they are God’s little Angels sent to us to lift our spirits – Piero – Ignazio & Gianluca are outstanding in their intellect & love for understanding the frailties of humanity – their humility is so divine – the world loves them as we do Daniela & Pat – much love to you two for your tireless effort of keeping us hungry IL Volo loyal fans informed.
Yes Jude, Mattia is truly a force and has a great love for music, who knows maybe one day it will be his path and Giorgio, what can I say is truly a very sweet child. It’s not easy for their family, but Monica and her husband have a great commitment as well as love and all this is bearing fruit.
You’re welcome, Jude. It is my pleasure! 😊
A lovely story, somehow connecting us across the world. I can’t see the video where Piero sees Mattia – the link is broken. Can you put it up again please?
I got a message from piero but can’t find it
Linda, do I read correctly that you had a message from Piero? BE CAREFUL Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca NEVER reply to fans, unfortunately there are many fake profiles that pass themselves off as our dear boys, BE CAREFUL, don’t reply!!
Thank you for commenting on ‘Piero’s reply comment!! People sometime read what they want BUT this lady isn’t getting the message – DELETE DELETE DELETE!
This message is from a person who didn’t delete and I paid the price and it almost cost me family!
What do I do? I got scammed big time. Don’t they get on any media platforms?
Do any of Il volo on other media platforms? What do I do?
Believe all the warnings,
Don’t believe the posts. They are fake?
Are those posts from imposters especially when they ask for money gift cards? I don’t know what to do. I got a message from one saying he’s waiting for the card because he’s in the states now and wants to see me. All fake?
So everything is fake? I received a message asking for a gift card because one is in the states and says he is waiting for it to come see me. This is all fake? Just delete like someone said
Yes! All fake. A scammer out for what he can get from you. Don’t send him anything and do not reply to
Him again. Just delete him forever!
Thank you very much
Thank you very much . I feel so bad and believing these messages .
DELETE DELETE! the newsletter writers have repeatedly posted warnings saying the 3 guys will never contact fans!! If you are”chatting with them STOP AND DELETE”.
I can’t say it any clearer , please don’t reply to any emails they will send you , just STOP communicating and DELETE all communication! That’s it !
Thank you

I lost a lot of money from someone who says he is piero
I lost a lot of money and I feel so stupid
Linda, don’t listen to any profile, any comment that directly addresses the name of Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, especially if they ask for money or to meet you they are all FAKE, people who want to take advantage of you!!!🤬
Ok
Ok thanks. I got another message on zangi from one saying I’m his one in a million and wanted me to send a card to him
Thanks but I still get messages. Delete everything?
Linda, I would delete all messages from these people, 🤬🤬 and above all not reply.
Jill, please try using a different browser. It works for me in Chrome and in Firefox. And make sure you are logged in to Facebook to view it. It is a Facebook reel. Here is the actual link to it: https://www.facebook.com/reel/847418394205583 I tell you these videos are getting more difficult to embed into these posts. That is why we have to put the “CLICK HERE” links sometimes.
I don’t have facebook anymore
That’s right Jill and I have to tell you that this story is going around the world on the pages of Il Volo. 🥰
For the technical problem, I see that Pat answered you!
Perfection! God kisses Il Volo’s kindness and compassion for those kids, and their voices’ smooth sounds merge into a single masterpiece! There will never be another Il Volo group like them, they always will be the BEST! I am Fortune from Hawaii.
Yes Fortune, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca are truly special and they demonstrate it in these beautiful things, not only because they have a beautiful voice, they have beauty of soul!
I Highly agree, Daniela, Il Volo’s music became my recollection, I hear wonderful music that pertains to my private life, and the melody of every note from their lips is bliss. Their music had given my brain a warm bubble bath with candlelight, that’s my thought for the boys. Can I dream? I am Fortune.
58 daniela i keep getting messages about needing a card to see me, his one in a million. I don’t believe this . What do I fo
Linda, I would delete all messages from these people and above all not respond.🤬🤬
It’s not true that you are a chosen fan, they tell you that to make you accept and not buy anything or a card.
Thank you
Are they on telegram and zangi? I was told it would be safe to talk there. Fake right?
Fake, fake, fake fake fake protect yourselves. Everybody, I too, was taken and learned a very hard lesson. I even went to Italy and found out you were in Italy. He was in Nigeria people you have to protect yourself. There are some scammers pretending to be them in Italy in Portugal in the USA as well please please please protect yourself. Don’t learn the hard way like I did Linda, they are everywhere. They’re on Zangi telegram line, Instagram, Facebook messenger even in your emails please protect yourself. These guys are predators literally predators.
I got a message on email and never gave it to him I think saying he read my comments on YouTube too. Now what?
Just ignore him and don’t answer.
And he wants a card . Fake! He wrote me a nice letter too and don’t know what to do . Would you like to see it?
You are not supposed to be reading his messages. Delete them without reading them!
ok i will try harder
