Hooray, Gabriele is born!! 💙
We were all waiting for the news of the birth confirmation. Gabriele was born on September 4th, and mom Michelle and dad Ignazio are incredibly happy.
No photos of the little one will be published. Furthermore, in Italy there is a law that prohibits publishing photos of children, and if they do, their faces must be blurred.
But the important thing is that Gabriele and his parents are doing well, so we are all happy for them and send a huge WELCOME to little Gabriele and many congratulations to mom and dad. ❤️💙❤️
I’m taking this post as an opportunity to recap what’s happened so far in August.
On August 24th, Il Volo was a guest on Giovanni Zarrella Show, where they performed “CAPOLAVORO.” Here’s the video.
In this video, in addition to the song, you can see a short interview with Il Volo and Giovanni Zarrella. Unfortunately, I don’t understand German, but I can translate Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca’s answers, which are in Italian.
CLICK HERE to view the video
GIANLUCA = Giovanni, handsome, how are you?
GIOVANNI = (hugs and kisses) Come on guys!
(The question follows in German; I assume he’s asking Il Volo about their upcoming tour)
PIERO = Yes, we’re coming to Germany in November, we’ll be doing six concerts: Berlin, Munich, Munich…there are six, Leipzig…(he also asks Ignazio for help, but they don’t remember all of them)
GIANLUCA = We’ll be performing all over Germany. We’re very happy because our Italian culture, our music, is conquering not only Italians but the whole world, and it’s truly wonderful to be able to follow in the footsteps of our idols like Bocelli, Pavarotti, and so many others. We’re very happy and proud of the support our fans are giving us.
GIOVANNI = (question in German)
IGNAZIO = For us, music has no limits, music has no barriers. Ultimately, our goal is to continue this musical genre, lyrical pop. We cannot forget the songs that have been part of Italian culture like “Il Mondo” or operas like “Nessun Dorma” and as he (Gianluca) said, maintaining the Italian tradition and following in the footsteps of greats like Bocelli, Pavarotti, this is the goal.
PIERO = I can also take this moment to thank you for what you do, for inviting us, every time we come to Germany and we come to your place, we come back to a friend’s place and officially invite you to one of our concerts. You decide which concert, we want to see you.
GIOVANNI = answers in German.
IGNAZIO = (in German but I think I understand) We love you Giovanni!
GIOVANNI = (he speaks in German)
PIERO = Look, this year we’re celebrating our almost 17 years together with a world tour and seeing the audience that has grown with us over these 17 years. What we thank our audience for is their loyalty. They’ve been following us for so many years and that’s why we do so many concerts. Without them, neither we nor you could work, so we are forever grateful to our audience.
GIOVANNI = (he speaks in German)
GIANLUCA = If you want, it would be great to sing with you one day (Giovanni is a singer as well as a presenter)
GIOVANNI = (Shakes hands as if promising and says goodbye to Il Volo)
Short video for questions during the show, backstage.

In this photo Il Volo with Ricchi e Poveri, a duo of famous Italian singers and Giovanni Zarrella.
Gianluca and Piero backstage before the performance.
Videos and photos taken during the Youth Jubilee by a foreign interviewer are still being published and are worth seeing for the beautiful messages they convey.
PIERO = To all digital missionaries and Catholic influencers I send a big hug and a great message of hope.
QUESTION = What do you think of digital missionaries, Catholic influencers?
IGNAZIO = (The interviewer is Spanish)
I’ll tell you in Spanish.
(I don’t know Spanish but since it’s similar to Italian I think I can figure out what’s going on.)
I think it’s good when a good message is spread, and thanks to digital technology it can reach more people, but the most important thing is that it’s a good message.
I think it’s also very important for all young people who are approaching God, who are seeking God, and for them to discover the thoughts of other people, their experiences, and those who have come to faith.
MAN = Thank you!
IGNAZIO = You’re welcome!
And then, in August, come images of relaxation, vacations, and family.
Gianluca sends beautiful images from the Dolomites (high, distinctive mountains in northern Italy).
Ignazio remained close to his Michelle. He published beautiful photos of him and Michelle during the final stages of her pregnancy.
Piero remained in his native Sicily. During his vacation in Agrigento, there was a concert by Fiorella Mannoia, the talented singer who often performed with Il Volo. Piero went to see her concert; this article, which I’m partially translating for you, talks about Piero’s presence in the audience on the evening of the concert.
CLICK HERE to view the Scrivo Libero article
Piero Barone at Fiorella Mannoia’s concert: the tenor from Il Volo entertained the audience.
Piero Barone was among the VIP guests at Fiorella Mannoia’s concert last night at the Live Arena in Agrigento. The Il Volo singer, in top form, smiling, and open to everyone, met the Roman singer in the dressing room. From the stage, she then said: “A third of Volo came to see me this evening,” she said, smiling. “Piero, where are you…” she exclaimed from the stage. “I admire you so much, you’re wonderful!” The audience broke into a thunderous applause.
Before the show, Piero Barone also spoke to the audience, greeting some disabled guests sitting in the front row and allowing several photos to be taken.
Finally, he paused for a photo with Daniela Ciminnisi and Maria Secondo of the Solide Ali Association in Cammarata, which for years has been transporting cancer patients to various hospitals on the island and also provides wigs to women who lose their hair after undergoing chemotherapy.
On August 30th, in Abruzzo, specifically in L’Aquila (the capital of Abruzzo), the Perdonanza Celestiniana is celebrated from August 23rd to 30th.
The final day concluded with a beautiful open-air concert held in front of the beautiful Basilica of Santa Maria di Collemaggio.
In 2019, Il Volo performed a beautiful concert, and we talked about it here:
This year, the concert featured multiple singers, including Gianluca Ginoble, who performed solo.
He performed a medley of three Beatles songs:
The Long and Winding Road
Yesterday
Hey Jude
CLICK HERE to view the Facebook reel
Unfortunately, there’s no video of his entire performance, but his performance, though brief, was memorable, and the newspapers raved about it.
Bravo, Gianluca!
Gianluca commented on his presence:
“I’m proud to be from Abruzzo. Maestro Leonardo De Amicis and I have known each other since 2009, along with Piero and Ignazio (he’s the evening’s conductor and a friend since the days of Ti Lascio una Canzone, where he used to prepare the kids for the evenings).
Forgiveness is truly important to me, and I hold the spirituality of forgiveness dear.”
In Italy we will soon see our favorites on television; on Wednesday, September 10, RAI1 will broadcast Fiorella Mannoia’s concert, recorded last year at the Baths of Caracalla. Il Volo also performed a couple of songs with her.
And on September 12th and 13th, RAI1 will broadcast the TIM AWARDS evening live from the Verona Arena, and Il Volo will be among the many singers performing.
I can’t wait to see them again!
So we’ll be back soon, commenting on the performances of our beloved boys.
A big hello to everyone:
Daniela 🤗
Credit to owners of all photos and videos.
Welcome back, Daniela ! Hope you had a nice summer. Thank you for confirming Gabriele’s birth. Coming from you, I believe it. So many messages about it… I read that Michelle had given birth to twin daughters in the spring, and now a boy ! Do they think we’re all stupid ? Thank you for your continuing and respectful work for Il Volo.
Hi Renée, thanks for the welcome back! I missed my summer vacation due to health issues, but they’ve resolved now, and I hope to be back at the end of the month. We’re all happy to hear about Gabriele’s birth, and we’re so tired of the fake news being written about our guys every day!
Welcome back, Daniela, hope you had a nice summer. Thank you for confirming Gabriele’s birth, after I read so many silly info, like Michelle having had twin daughters in April, and now a boy! Are we supposed to be stupid ? And thank you for your continuing and respectful work for Il Volo.
Thank you Daniela.
Such lovely news for Ignazio and Michelle.
I wish them lots good health and good fortune for them and baby.
I love hearing all the news.
I’m really excited as I’m going with a friend to Arena di Verona for the tribute to Pavorotti. And knowing Il Volo will be there makes it really amazing. As I haven’t been to any concerts so this is perfect. Staying a few days too.
Thank you for your lovely report always so interesting.
Grazie Mille ❤️
Thank you SO MUCH for all that you do. And especially for the fabulous news on the new member of the II Volo Family!!
So exciting!
Thank you,
Penny
Hi Penny, thanks for the compliments and we’re all happy with the good news of Gabriele’s arrival!!
I’m happy for you that you’ll be going to the Arena at the end of September and will also be able to see Il Volo. Let’s hope the weather is nice!!
Thank you.
Yes hope so.
But it will still be lovely whatever.
Keep well. ❤️
Oh how I have missed the flight crew! Welcome back Daniela and all the wonderful crew! Welcome to the newest ilVolo singer, Gabriele! The song he will sing is all about milk and love. Blessings to all three of the first family! Loved seeing pictures of Gianluca hiking through the mountains, they look like it is his happy place! As always blessings to all of you and remember love and a smile will make this world a better place!
Thank you Sheila for the welcome back, I too am sure that at the Boschetto house everything will change with milk and love, just as I am sure that facing everything with a smile makes everything easier!
Welcome back! I, along with the rest of the Il Volo world are so very happy for Iganzaio and Michelle with the arrival of their prescious angel, Gabriele. As sentimental as Ignazio is, I am sure he cries tears of happpiness everytime he looks at his son.
Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on Il Volo’s activities these past few months. Shortly the vacation will be over and it will be back to work sharing the gift of their beautiful voices with the world. Wishing them safe travels along the way.
Eileen, I think Ignazio cried a lot of tears of happiness when Gabriele arrived.
Our guys never stop; even during the summer holidays they had a couple of private events, but I’ll tell you more about them in the next post.
Mucha actividad de todos por separado,siemprw siguiendo sus pasos gracias Daniela. En cuanto al bebe Lo importante : que haya nacido sanito . Que se desarrolle en un hogar cálido, sencillo sincero ,que su evolución esté libre de presiones mediaticas, que poco a poco con amor y mucha sabiduría entienda el mundo de su padre y de su madre. Que sepa que su familia será su nido .. su pista para tomar partida ,pero también para aterrizar de regreso,tal cual fue el hogar que sus abuelos le dieron y los principios que inculcaron en su padre en su tía y que así haya sido ta bien en la fmlia de su madre. Dios lo guarde ,le de un camino leve y tranquilo que encuentre su destino sin más que su deseo, su habilidad y los dones que Dios le dará. !!! Felicidad sin fin en estos momentos para sus padres su familia y sus “tíos ” de vida.
Como siempre para ellos Admiración cariño y respeto desde Colombia, para ti un abrazo inmenso Daniela desde tu Cooombia .
Como siempre, Luz, expresas tan bien lo que todos pensamos. Le deseamos lo mejor al pequeño Gabriele, y su papá Ignazio y su mamá Michelle lo colmarán de amor. Su nido irradiará cariño y protección, y nos alegramos por ellos.
As always, Luz, you express so well what we’re all thinking.
We wish little Gabriele all the best, and he’ll be showered with love by his dad Ignazio and mom Michelle. Their nest will radiate affection and protection, and we’re happy for them.
So pleased to hear from you! Happy to hear the bambino has arrived safely and all are healthy and well. I understand Italy’s policy about photos of babies/children, I think it is a very good one. We can imagine Gabriele–dark hair, a beautiful smile and dimples! Both parents have all three!
Thanks Daniela for keeping us in the loop.
And it’s truly a pleasure for me, Penina, when you comment here with us!
Ignazio’s happiness is at its peak during this time, and we, in turn, are happy for him and his entire family.

I really appreciate your translations and compilations of Il Volo activities, especially those that take place during their “‘vacation time” in lesser known places. I’m glad you included your translation of the 2019 interview with Piero – I loved rereading it and how it revealed Piero’s inner feelings. And, of course news about baby Gabriele, may he grow in love and music !
Hi Maija, it’s nice to hear from you. In my translations, I always look for something that may not have been published, or at least try to clarify situations a little, and I’m happy that this is appreciated.
Liebe Daniela, ich freue mich, wieder von dir zu hören.
Natürlich schließe ich mich gerne den Wünschen zu Gabrieles Geburt an und wünsche der kleinen Familie eine glückiche, gesunde und friedliche Zukunft,
Nun zur Zarelloshow im Deutschen Fernsehen:
Für mich war der Auftritt von Il Volo mit sehr großem Abstand das Beste in der Show, für manch andere Auftritte musste ich mich fast schämen…
Ihre ausgebildeten, hervorragenden Stimmen, ihr elegantes Auftreten ohne Glitzer usw. , ihre sympathische , empathische Ausstrahlung faszinieren mich bei jedem Konzert. Sie sind etwas ganz Besonders in der Musikszene.
Das Interview danach war sehr herzlich von beiden Seiten. Giovanni fragte Il Volo, ob sie bei ihren weltweiten Touren noch Zeit für Deutschland hätten. Sie bestätigten des und nannten 6 Auftritte im November in Deutschland. Sie freuen sich, italienische Kultur weltweit zu verbreiten. Sehr höflich fand ich, dass Piero dem Publikum und allen anderen Zuhörern für ihre Treue und das Vertrauen dankte, was ja ihren Erfolg ermöglichen.
Dabei zeigten sie wieder ihre bescheidene, charmante , emotionale Art.
Auch beeindruckt mich immer sehr, dass die 3 bei wohltätigen Zwecken auftreten und somit ihr soziales Engagement beweisen.
Beeindruckend fand ich Gianlucas Soloauftritt in L Aquila, seinem Heimatort, mit dem er noch sehr verwurzelt ist. Dass Gianluca private Urlaubsbilder postet beweist seine Dankbarkeit an seine Fans. Bücher, die er liest haben einen sehr hohen intellektuellen Anspruch! Er ist so facettenreich, das gefällt mir sehr. Piero lässt leider nichts Privates mehr heraus, was viele Fans von ihm enttäuscht…
Liebe Daniela, ich freue mich schon sehr auf deinen neuen Bericht, ihr seid die einzige Gruppe, der man vertrauen kann.
Herzliche Grüße von Margit
Liebe Margit, vielen Dank für dein Vertrauen in unsere Gruppe. Wir sind stets bemüht, euch mit WAHREN Nachrichten, Videos und Bildern zu versorgen, und es scheint, dass unsere Bemühungen verstanden und geschätzt werden. Danke!
Die Nachricht von Gabrieles Ankunft bereitet uns große Freude, wie es sich gehört.
Ich freue mich sehr, dass du Il Volos Auftritt in der Giovanni Zarrella Show erläutert hast, und ich schätze deine kritischen Kommentare zu bestimmten Auftritten. Ich freue mich auch, dass dir Il Volo gefallen hat und du sie mit anderen Künstlern vergleichen konntest.
Dasselbe gilt für die TIM MUSIC AWARDS, die von sehr jungen Leuten besucht werden. Ich hoffe, dass das Sehen und Hören von Il Volo einen kritischen Sinn für konstruktive Diskussionen unter unseren jungen Leuten fördern kann, denn es besteht kein Zweifel daran, dass die Professionalität und Eleganz unserer Jungs, kombiniert mit ihrem Talent, erstklassig sind.
Es wird sehr geschätzt, dass Il Volo für Wohltätigkeitsveranstaltungen auftritt und die Solidarität nicht vergisst.
Mir hat Gianlucas Soloauftritt sehr gut gefallen und in den Kommentaren verschiedener Zeitungen wurde er in den höchsten Tönen gelobt.
Dear Margit, thank you for your trust in our group. We always strive to provide you with TRUE news, videos, and images, and it seems our efforts are understood and appreciated. Thank you!
The news of Gabriele’s arrival brings so much joy, as it should.
I’m very happy that you clarified Il Volo’s performance on the Giovanni Zarrella show, and I appreciate your critical comments regarding certain performances. I’m also happy that you enjoyed Il Volo and were able to compare them with other artists.
The same will be true during the TIM MUSIC AWARDS, which are attended by very young people. I hope that seeing and listening to Il Volo can foster a critical sense of constructive discussion among our young people, because there’s no doubt that the professionalism and elegance our guys bring, combined with their talent, are top-notch.
It’s greatly appreciated that Il Volo performs for charity events and doesn’t forget about solidarity.
I really enjoyed Gianluca’s solo performance, and the comments in various newspapers praised it highly.
Wonderful news – thanks as always to you, Danielle, and to Pat. Those recent photos of Michelle and Ignazio were so gorgeous–we know this has got to be a very beautiful baby!
Looking forward very much to the TIM awards and the Pavarotti tribute. Now for some cooler weather!🫰
You’re welcome, Judi! 😊
Judi, the TIM MUSIC AWARDS is tomorrow, so it’s really close and I also want to see our guys, especially Ignazio who is performing for his dad for the first time, so I’ll talk to you soon!
Thanks, Daniella and Pat for THE GOOD NEWS!!! Little does Gabriele know, but he had SO many aunties and uncles throughout the world waiting anxiously for him to make an appearance.
Although we won’t be able to actually see him for many years, we know he will be a beautiful baby and grow up to be a very handsome man (just like his Dad). Hugs to all, Dol. 🧡🧡🧡
You’re most welcome, Dolores! 😊
Dolores, Gabriele’s news has certainly brought joy to the world of Il Volo.
The rules regarding children’s photographs are extremely serious, but something will surely leak out when dad Ignazio and mom Michelle want it, and we respect their privacy.
Hi Dolores I hope you are ok. I tried sending you an email a few days ago but for some reason talktalk and Hotmail aren’t speaking to each other as Hotmail wouldn’t let it be delivered. I then tried with an Outlook address, which I hope has got through.
Hugs Roz
Congratulations wonderful news for Michelle and Ignacio
The US should adopt that law regarding children. May they be blessed
Your blessings will reach their destination Sara and the rule about children should be observed everywhere, I agree with you.
Thank you Daniela for all the news. Michelle and Ignazio are just starting there wonderful journey with Gabriele. They have so many exciting days ahead. I’m glad the guys got to enjoy some time off. Looking forward to hearing about the future concerts.
Cathy needed a bit of a break from work, especially since Gabriele was arriving, but everything will soon resume with just a few breaks. I’ll keep you updated.
Thank you for the wonderful news about Gabriele. Thank you for the great article and great pictures and videos. Love you and Il volo forever. I’ve been seeing articles of Piero and Gianluca making wedding plans . Are they true?
Thank you, Linda, for your compliments and enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, as always, there’s a lot of fake news about our guys. A month ago I saw photos of Piero’s supposed wedding, and a week ago photos of Gianluca’s fake wedding. Be wary of these reports, which are only meant to lure you in and make you spend money. It’s all fake, and the use of artificial intelligence makes everything even more difficult. DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING PUBLISHED; trust secure sites.
Thank you and take care❤️
I also saw a video of Piero and it says to send message to telegram on video. No way! Can’t watch got more articles from you!!!!!!
Best not to believe anything unless it comes from a reliable source such as yourself, Gary and Janice.
Thank you, Daniela and Pat, messengers of good news! Welcome to Gabriele, the littlest Il Volo who is surrounded with love from his family and the many others who wish him all the best!
You’re welcome, Sally! 😊
Sally, in this time where we are inundated with bad news, unfortunately, it’s nice to be the messenger of good news!!
Thank you, always, Daniela , for the wonderful updates, stories, videos and interviews. I am so very happy for Ignazio and Michelle with little Gabriele! ❤️ And I do appreciate that they have time alone with their new baby. I only wish we could see the joy and love in Ignazio’s eyes. 🥰
Virginia, I really hope Ignazio has time to spend with his long-awaited child.
I know Il Volo participated in a couple of events right around the time of Gabriele’s birth, and Ignazio was there. We know that artistic responsibility is very important for our guys, but I’m sure he’ll have used all his time for his Gabri, and now they’re in their home too. What a joy!
Welcome back Daniela and Pat! This was such wonderful news for our lovely couple who are now a beautiful family! Welcome to precious Gabriele, you are already so loved by so many! I’m hoping that ILVOLO’s schedule will not be as hectic this time so IGNAZIO will be able to spend more time with his lovely wife beautiful son.
Thank you for all you do for us, keeping us informed and connected……I’ve been missing you both all summer and praying you enjoyed your summertime and good health!
With gratitude and love for you both, Carol💖💖💖👶🏻🎼🎤❤️😘🤗🙏🏻☮️
Thank you, Carol! I’ve been having a good summer and doing well. Hope you are too. Finally cooled down here in Missouri but by this weekend will be in the low 90’s again.
You’re most welcome for bringing everyone this wonderful news! We are all so happy for Ignazio and Michelle! 😊🧡
Thank you, Carol, for your kindness. Yes, our commitments have been less demanding, so we’ve been less in touch, but you know that when there’s something important, we keep you updated right away, and when the news is good, like Gabriele’s birth, we care deeply.
I’m also sure that even though his commitments will be many, Ignazio will find a way to be close to his family. Sometimes it’s not the quantity but the quality of the time spent together that makes the difference.
My nonno and nonna were from L’aquila.
Beautiful pictures, videos and great articles too! Love Il volo forever ❤️❤️❤️
A Very Good Day to you Daniella & Pat!! – we & I say we because I know many loyal fans around the world will join me in thanking you girls for all that you do for us behind the scenes – when I first saw the news about our little Gabriele – I thought some scammer was telling lies – when you announced the arrival of baby Gabriele – I knew instinctively it was true – you are always so honest & true about our beautiful boys – Ignazio & Michelle will be enjoying that magical time of being new parents & I know Ignazio’s Dad will be watching over them – it is such a beautiful thing for new parents to experience & like everyone else I wish Michelle & Ignazio all our undivided love – the pic of Gianluca in the mountains was stunning – he reminded me of the Prophets of Old – when they went to the mountains for meditation rest & inspiration – Gianluca is a very spiritual soul – he would have felt his inner self being renewed & strengthened – I hope Piero is alright – we haven’t heard much – Piero – Ignazio & Gianluca mean so much to us all – the TIM Awards are tomorrow Daniela – do you know if we will be able to see the presentations on YouTube?? especially for all the loyal fans down here in Australia & New Zealand & there is a beautiful tribute to Pavarotti – I do hope we see something here – we saw Piero’s brother Francisco being married on YouTube – what a beautiful day for all concerned – Piero looked so handsome – we are indebted to you Daniella & Pat for holding the World-Wide IL Volo family together – much love to you both & all the Flight Crew til next time.
