Verona & Taormina 2020! Set your clocks!

Okay folks, if you missed them in Italy in 2019, you may have seen and heard they are offering 2 new shows in Italy in 2020.  More than likely, others will be announced, but for now, tickets go on sale TODAY at, well, 5AM EST time!!  (of course even earlier for you west coast fans!) Yes, set your alarms for 5AM easterners, as they go on sale at 11am Italy time!  Details are below and again you need the code, but please don’t call me at 4am.  You need to be a member of the Fan Club to attain the code.  Last time it was 10anni, but who knows if it will be the same this time?

Get your tickets soon!  Info below was copy pasted from the email we received today:

(Please be sure to follow directions exactly and purchase tickets from only the site listed below)  Personally, I’ve yet to actually see the code myself, but they tell me it’s on the Fan Club site, which you will have access to, after your membership is activated.

If you are not already a member of the fan club, follow these instructions:

Go to this site: https://www.ilvolomusic.com/en/  (link should take you to the English version)  1.  Click on Shop (upper right); 2.  scroll down a bit and you will see 2 options for the fan club subscription.  Choose either one, but I suggest the digital one, as you won’t be charged shipping.  Price comes to about $20 or so, depending on current euro value.  If you choose the non-digital, you will get a member card in the mail, but I’ve yet to really need it for anything, it’s just cool to have. 🙂  3. click on your choice, do add to cart, and check outPlease note: Once payment is done, you will receive two emails: one with the confirmation of purchase and one containing instructions for activating your online account.  4. billing, etc. is pretty straightforward.

If you have any issues, they are actually pretty responsive, just give them a few days to respond.

CHILE MUSICA TOUR 41 by Daniela

Last stop on the Musica Tour / Latin tour, CHILE.

Since there have been riots and popular demonstrations in Chile, there is concern about the concert, but the boys immediately reassured the fans about their presence at the concert.

In an interview, a journalist asked Piero why they decided to keep the concert in Chile, despite the climate of popular unrest. The boys responded:

“It would have been easy to decide. We don’t go to Chile, we go back to Italy and finish the tour. But the reason we wanted to go, all three together, is because we don’t want to leave our fans alone.”

GRAN ARENA MONTICELLO  1 November

A mix of songs.

“HISTORIA DE UN AMOR”

“SOMOS NOVIOS / BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE WATER”

“LA NAVE DE L’ OLVIDO”

“VOLARE”

“MY WAY”

Read how nice this comment made by a Chilean guy who went to the concert. Thanks for your words.

“There is nothing better than listening to the music you love, the one that inspires you, feeds your soul and makes you happy. What you listen to over and over again and it is never synonymous with monotony, that’s why you need voices that are the perfect complement. Today I had the opportunity to meet and share with ideals of my generation, Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto, representatives of lyric pop, already in their 10 years of artistic career, that I followed completely since 2009 when Gianluca won the show Ti lascio una canzone (“I leave you a song”). For me today is an unforgettable day and I feel full of gratitude for this great moment that is part of my dreams that become reality. For you, Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio, the greatest success of all time.”

During another interview, to the question of what they will do in 2020, the boys said this:

“In November there will be a special album to follow the celebration of the ten-year career. In 2020 we will continue with the second part of the tour of the United States and some other countries that we cannot yet reveal. Therefore, we have a very busy year.”

Chile 12

The nice words of thanks of the boys:

Piero:

This first part of the world tour ends. South America has given us so much and all this energy received gives us strength and reminds us every day that we are on the right path, our road. Now we have all the charge and adrenaline for the next projects: the promotion of the new album “The Best of 10 Years”

Ignazio:

And this tour is over too! Now we return to Italy for the “The Best of 10 Years” release. Thanks to all the Latin America for the affection and love that it has transmitted to us this month! ❤️

Gianluca:

Gracias a todos! My life is a dream!!! It’s been an amazing tour! See you in February in the US! 😘

Chile 13

Guys, the Latin Tour was a great and deserved success.

But now it’s time to go home. Italy is waiting for you, a little rest and then off,  immediately in promotion for the new CD.

Hasta la vista!! 

Go on like this!!

ARGENTINA MUSICA TOUR 40 by Daniela

Another nation, Argentina, still different songs, guys you are fantastic.

Before the concert, I read a comment from an Argentine fan:

 ”Esta noche nos olvidamos por un par de hs la inflación , el.dolar la grieta!! El frio que volvió en Noviembre !!! Hasta la noche!” 

“Tonight we will forget about inflation for a couple of hours, the dollar, the crack!! The cold that came back in November!!! Until evening!”

And so it was, how much joy, how much love, all around Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca and their wonderful voices!

“MAS QUE AMOR”

“EL AMOR VERDADERO”

“COSTANTEMENTE MIA”

In this video, Ignazio invites a boy on stage and Gianluca says he looks like Piero as a child. With great surprise the boy has a beautiful voice and begins to sing Granada, applauded by all. Ignatius teaches him the high notes. In the end Gianluca says that when they come back he can sing with them and realize his dream. (These guys are awesome.)

The name of this kid is Chander Covello and he commented:

“Yes !!!! The dreams come true !!!!

Today the group that I greatly admire made me sing at the Luna Park Stadium.

Thanks Ignazio Boschetto, Piero Barone and Gianluca Ginoble, thanks to the audience and above all to my family who support me so much and have made this dream come true.”

And here is the moment of the meeting between Ignazio and Chander, where Ignazio tells him to sing.

And here the photos with our magnificent golden boys.

“SI ME FALTA TU MIRADA” 

Fantastic participation of all the present audience. This song is beautiful both in Italian and in Spanish.

“LA NAVE DEL OLVIDO”

I literally have no words to describe the surprise and beauty of this tango, performed so ardently by a very talented Gianluca, accompanied on the piano by Piero and the guitar by Ignazio. Chills, chills on the skin.

You guys are fantastic! Always make us these beautiful gifts, very welcome by all of us:

BRAZIL, MUSICA TOUR 37/38/39 by Daniela

The tour of Il VOLO in Brazil continues unabated, and the great success continues.

The boys perform the songs impeccably, but also very relaxed, they know they are not under a magnifying glass that only looks for their flaws, and so the performances are relaxed, full of loving gestures, between the boys and their audience.

SAO PAULO  24/25 OCTOBER

A mix of songs by Paulo Ricardo Coutinho, travel agent, who thus commented: “IL VOLO”, 10 years of success in Sao Paulo !!

A wonderful evening with beautiful songs and a beautiful show.

“NESSUN DORMA”

“MARIA”

“NO PUEDE SER”

“O SOLE MIO” (the beautiful love of the people)

 

“VOLARE”

“GAROTA DE IPANEMA” (Bravo Gianluca for singing in Portuguese.)

“GRANDE AMORE”

“ARRIVEDERCI ROMA” (too funny Ignazio and the security man 😁)

This brief interview is very nice, the boys’ answers are in English, so you can understand the meaning of the questions.

 

RIO DE JANEIRO   27 OCTOBER

But this song is not part of your concert, guys, what are you doing? 😁

“CANZONE PER TE”

“GAROTA DE IPANEMA”

“MY WAY”

“CARUSO”

These words of Piero are really beautiful:

“If they were to ask me” what is the most beautiful thing in life on tour? – I would answer with difficulty. It is difficult to say with words the emotion that overwhelms you at each concert: every evening there is a different energy given by new cities, new people, different languages, but in all this diversity there is the common language of emotion, of gestures and smiles of people of all ages, life on tour is a long journey, where each city becomes a bit your home and new people become your friends.”

Maestro Adriano Machado, who directed the concerts in Brazil commented on their photo:

“Today we end the Il Volo tour. Another beautiful work with the participation of Orquestra Sinfonica Villalobos.

Incredible to participate again with such talented guys and with a contagious charisma on stage. Impeccable technique and a lot of voice to endure an entire night singing with exemplary quality!”

Sao 18

And so IL Volo concluded the 6 concerts in Brazil. They were beautiful moments, full of joy.

What else to say, I end with Piero’s words:

We spent 2 weeks in Brazil and we can’t wait to come back!

Thank you for making these 6 shows amazing. Now it’s time to fly to Argentina.
See you Wednesday Buenos Aires
.”

BRAZIL, MUSICA TOUR 34/35/36 by Daniela

New State, again different songs.

The affection of the Brazilian people has always been evident for Il Volo, and this time it was no different.

BRAZIL 17 OCTOBER

A mix of songs

“MEMORY”

“GRANADA”

Scrolling through the various Facebook pages, I saw this photo, published by the page IL VOLO SAO PAULO -BRASIL, is a really moving embrace between Piero and a man, which happened during the concert.

Here is what my friend Stella Maris, the page administrator, comments:

Achei linda esta foto! Pena que não dê para vermos Piero no abraço. Gostaria muito de saber que tirou.

Segundo a amiga Lara Silva, em Brasília (17/10), Piero “desceu, cantou junto com este senhor e o abraçou.”

(Foto publicada e compartilhada: grupo Tributo a Il Volo.)

Translation:

I found this photo beautiful! Too bad we can’t see Piero in the hug. I’d love to know why you did it.

According to her friend Lara Silva, in Brazil (17/10), Piero “came down, sang with this man and embraced him.”

A fan comment:
“Day 17/10 I realized another dream! What a fantastic day! Ignazio Boschetto, who takes my mother and looks at me directly, Barone Piero takes my phone and takes a picture! What a show, what voices, what a dream! 10 years waiting for this moment and I have no words! I love you and return soon in Brasilia!” ❤️❤️❤️
