GLEANINGS by Daniela

We titled this post “Gleanings” because it covers various news and videos that have occurred since mid-July and that I haven’t reported.
On July 16th, Il Volo was invited to cover an event organized by the San Donato Group (the group operates in the healthcare sector and is the largest private hospital group in Italy), titled SUMMER NIGHT 2025.
Here is an excerpt from the article published in “Fortune Health Italia,” a healthcare publication.
“A special evening to recognize ‘bridge builders’ working across the Mediterranean. Last night, at Villa Miani in Rome, the 2025 Summer Dinner, promoted annually by Gruppo San Donato, GKSD, and Ecam Council, returned. This event highlighted the international commitment of one of the historic ‘seven sisters’ of healthcare, but also presented a series of awards to individuals committed to fostering growth and spreading health and well-being across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
The musical group ‘Il Volo’ was greeted with great enthusiasm, donating their entire fee to the non-profit foundation of the San Donato Group, GSD Foundation ETS, and to the Ale & Franz and Friends Onlus Association.”
Guys, we never had any doubts about your generosity, but once again our hearts are filled with pride.
After this event, our guys returned to their families for a short vacation and delighted us with some of their photos:

PIERO:

GIANLUCA:

IGNAZIO:

And then August arrived, bringing us the beautiful Evento of the Youth Jubilee, of which I attach just a few photos.
I’d like to introduce you to the Popes Il Volo knew:

Pope Francis

Pope Leone XIV

With the Youth Jubilee now over, we all thought Ignazio Piero and Gianluca were enjoying a well-deserved break.
It’s August, the height of the holiday season in Italy, but Il Volo still has time to attend one more event.
Issa Resort inauguration on August 6th in Romania. Here are some short videos and photos from the evening.

And then there’s two pieces of news: the first is that the video of the concert at the Valley of the Temples will be released on August 29st, so it’s already available to order.

On September 30th, the Verona Arena will host a commemoration of Luciano Pavarotti, who would have turned 90.
Il Volo will also be participating in the event!!
And finally, a well-deserved August break. It’s been a very hot August here, and I hope Piero, Gianluca, and Ignazio also enjoy a wonderful holiday, even though for Ignazio and Michelle it will all be preparations for Gabriele’s imminent arrival.
Have a great summer everyone!!!

  1. Thanks again Daniela for the news about our guys (il volo) that can be trusted.Looking forward to the next one.

  2. Thank you Daniela for giving us the news about our guys! Without your trusted news I don’t know how we would survive without knowing what is going on! Hopefully the next update will be announcing Ignazio is a papa and a picture of the parents and baby 👨‍🍼
    Hopefully you will also have some vacation time to experience!

    1. Sheila, I think the next update will be about Gabriele’s birth, but you know, these guys always surprise us, so let’s see what happens.
      Thanks for letting us know that what we write is reliable!
      Happy holidays to you.

  3. Daniela, thank you as always for your brilliant words and love!!! It has been a very unique summer for sure for all, the USA is having lots of wild weather fires, flooding and heat hotter than years before!!! Sending our “thank yous” for the wonderul updates!!! Be Blessed!!!
    Cindi

    1. Cindi, yes, the heat is intense in many places, and I hope the fires can be controlled soon.
      Thanks for your compliments.

  4. Thanks, again, Daniela for sharing your insight on what the guys have been doing during their much deserved break. It will not be long before they are back on tour.

  5. I love all the posts, they are amazing. IL Volo are loved all over the world. We are so fortunate to have you keeping us current with all these wonderful viedos. Thank you. Take care. P.S. my favorite song ” Como Vai Voce”.

    1. I can confirm that anyone who has met Il Volo loves them and there are many reasons to appreciate everything they do, right Gail?

  6. Thank you once again for your wonderful recounting of our amazing, gifted and generous guys….always so proud of the men they are! Hopefully you are now on your own vacation!
    Gratefully to you both for the translations and photos and love.
    As Always, Carol💖💖💖🎵🎹🎤🎼🤗❤️😘🙏🏻☮️

    1. Yes, very proud of these guys, Carol.
      Thanks for your always lovely compliments, happy holidays to you too.

  7. Grazie! It is nice that they have some time off between the two big tours.
    I am sad to see they still perform Delilah.
    While their version is excellent it is about relationship violence😥🔪🩸. With Gianluca’s excellent talks on this subject I’m surprised he doesn’t see the irony of 3 young men singing about killing their former lover because she is happy!
    I still love them of course, there are just too many other fabulous songs to sing.

    1. Klink, I also hope they now enjoy a well-deserved rest with their loved ones.
      I believe the choice of songs to sing during private parties is also dictated by those who invited them; in fact, it’s been a long time since they sang this song.

    1. I think this will be the next piece of news, what a joy!!

      Happy holidays, dear RoseMarie, I often think about our beautiful day together!!

  8. Thanks for sharing with us again and again. Wishing everyone a time for relaxing and renewing of spirit. Really, hope the baby arrives when Ignazio is home. I would think they would have given thought and consideration to that event when scheduling touring. I see come October they will be in South America. Here’s hoping, timing is everything!

    1. Barb, I’m sure Ignazio will be home when Gabriele is born, I think everything has been ironed out for that.

  9. Hello Daniele. Thank you for sharing these amazing photos and videos and your review. As usual interesting and informative. You are so good.
    I wondered if I am correct that they also did a concert in Madrid? I don’t think that was advertised.

    Anyway I think there will be here in London a concert in memory of Pavarotti at The Royal Albert Hall. I am going to try to see it, it should be amazing, but I’m sure it will amazing in Italy with Il Volo singing the arias.
    Hope u have a good vacation, before the next lot of concerts.
    Grazie mille.
    Take care 🫶🌹

    1. Hi Fenella, and thanks again for the compliments.
      I checked, and they didn’t perform in Madrid this year, but they will be there on December 9th.
      Happy summer holidays to you too!

      1. Thank you Daniela.

        Look forward to hear your next review.

        Have a good rest.
        😎☀️🫶

  10. Liebe Daniela, ich bewundere Sie, wie Sie in so kurzer Zeit die Auftritte unserer 3 Jungs verfolgen und uns perfekt darüber mitteilen. Herzlichen Dank dafür!
    Zu den kommenden Auftritten möchte ich noch eine hinzufügen: Am 23.8. singt Il Volo in Dortmund in der „Giovanni Zarrella Show“ , die im deutschen Fernsehen übertragen wird. Ich freue mich schon sehr darauf, auch wenn mir einige deutsche Schlagersänger nicht gefallen, aber Il Volo wird der Höhepunkt sein.
    Liebe Grüße aus dem gerade sehr heißen Bayern.

    1. Wow, Margit, danke für die Komplimente, aber vor allem danke, dass du mich an das Datum der „Giovanni Zarrella Show“ erinnert hast. Ich habe diese Neuigkeit tatsächlich komplett verpasst, also vielen Dank!!
      Frohe Sommerferien!

      Wow, Margit, thanks for the compliments, but especially thanks for reminding me of the date of the “Giovanni Zarrella show.” I actually completely missed this news, so thank you so much!!
      Happy summer holidays!

      1. I will be in Dortmund to see IL Volo live… its my Birthday, my present to me. 🥰🎵🎶🥰

  12. Todo lo que sucede en sus giras
    es pura motivación. Ellos se inspiran en sus canciones y las canciones en sus voces nos inspiran a nosotros !! Son bellos momentos que todos sus seguidores esperan, cada viaje cada preparación es coordinada y profesional para ofrecer calidad y profesionalismo de todos y de cada uno. Desarrollan con cada melodía esos maravillosos sublimes y a veces tiernos e inolvidables momentos del concierto.
    ..Allí lo que hay es amor, fraternidad, tolerancia,profesionalismo y talento sin fin .
    Allí hay un grupo cohesionado perfectamente , dando a conocer el gran e inagotable talento de cada uno sumando esos aportes que cada uno da al grupo para construir una identidad única e inspiradora, tal vez ejemplar. Nunca las partes son mas grandes que el todo.Gracias por tus artículos, como siempre geniales Daniela !!
    ADMIRACION CARIÑO Y RESPETO DESDE COLOMBIA!!!

  13. Il Volo, I love you. May life bring you a reflection of the kindness you’ve shown to others. Only your music could make molehills out of my mountains. What would I do without you? There are no more words. I love you guys, truly!

  14. Thank you for always updating us on what the guys are doing. It’s their time too enjoy some time with family and friends. Of course we are waiting for Ignazio and Michelle’s precious baby. Enjoy your summer and thanks again.

    1. Thank you so very much Daniella for always keeping informed on our precious guys.
      If it weren’t for you “gleanings” I would not be able to keep up with them
      Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
