Daniela: “Finally an article that does justice to the boys of Il Volo. Their human qualities of real people.”
From “The Melty Galazy”, Italian Edition
The Flight: Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio, the family first
Gianluca Ginoble, Ignazio Boschetto and Piero Barone of “Il Volo”, unlike many peers, daily demonstrate their boundless love for his family.
Tattoos, disco nights and alcohol, the primary interest of many colleagues, the members of “Il Volo” Piero Barone , Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginobleprefer the simple life values. Besides a love of music, in fact, to combine the three tenorini is unconditional affection for his family, as evidenced by the numerous shots published on their social profiles. Rather than bragging about their sexual conquests or their designer clothes and luxury cars, the three guys prefer it proudly displayed on the network their suffering: an embrace with his mother, a dedication to his grandfather, a message for his brother and so on. In an age when superficiality and consumerism seem to spread among young people, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca to proposed as an alternative model, aware that the things that really matter are other: in short, a full respect of traditions both as regards the musical repertoire that for their life choices.

Many fans have written that they always start their day with Il Volo. It’s what gets them going in the morning. The joythat comes through the guys’ voices is so contagious that you can’t help but feelinspiredto begin the day with good feelings and a big smile.
An after lunch treat ……
Lunch is over….the dishes are done, and now is the time to sit down in the recliner, put your feet up, and treat yourself to some more Il Volo. You’ve got time for a DVD—housework can wait. One look at those handsome guys and you will no doubtfeel a warmglowcome on. Justrelax and take a trip to Ilvololand. Escape to that magical place. Focus on the beauty of the three young men who are there in your living room just to entertain you. Let the harmonyof their blended voices envelope you. Yes, it’s over too soon, and it’s time to get to the laundry. But never mind; they will come again whenever you callthem.
Happy hour?……
You’ve made it through to 4:00, and it’s perfectly all right to take another Il Volo break. What will it be…..wine or chocolate? Make your choice and get comfortable
with one of your favorite CD’s. Stop thinking about what to make for dinner and loseyourself in the beauty of the music. Just focus on the sound and take it all in. Think about how lucky you are to have found these amazing guys who are there in your living room at the click of a button whenever you need them….and it has become a need, hasn’t it? Would you call it an obsession? Maybe, but it’s a good one. Sometimes you feel overloaded and need the soothing lift you get fromjust letting the magic of the musictakeover. Ahh, that’s better. Now you feel like you can get back to the real world.
And so to bed……
You’ve come to the end of your day. You don’t want to carry the minor problems that have come up to bed with you. You need Il Volo. So you get comfy and turn on the CD player that is always handy on your bedside table, and when THE VOICES come on, you are transported to a place of such harmony and beauty that any worries and cares immediately fade away. Everything seems right again. You take a deep breath and say, “goodnight, Piero, goodnight, Gianluca,goodnight, Ignazio, my sweet boys. I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
It is not possible that you do not know the film into production where even our boys will be involved. A year ago we talked about this project and I must tell you that in the beginning it did not thrill me because it was a kind of film “The VITELLONI ” ( Italian post-war film ). I don’t like this film.
Now the project is becoming a reality and was presented at the Venice . It is a love story where music is the thread and the interpreter will discover the value of attending music concerts where he performs IL VOLO .
Some scenes are already shot in the Arena during the show of 04 July, it also Jana in her story she says she saw shoot these scenes. So it seems to me a very nice film, it was made with the support of the city of Verona and Arena .
I translate what they say in the promo that you sent me.
Speaks Michele Cali , producer of the film and says :
“The lyric is a very important thing, we have the Arena di Verona where, unfortunately, we know that every year there are fewer and fewer young people in the audience, then did this idea , I’ve talked to Flavio Tosi ,the president lyrical entity (and mayor of Verona),and Francesco Girondini (superintendent of the Arena foundation) that this idea really liked , then we involved IL VOLO and now we have to study how to be in the film and we hope that this film can become a value added and introduce young people to the world of opera“.
Keep talking Giuseppe Ferlito, director of the film, and says:
” The main interpreter starts from St. Petersburg in search of his father and of its origins and finds the love of a girl who supports him in all his dreams and when they will only find only solace in music, because music is what language that only the soul can hear “
Everyone has somefavorite things. Our Il Volo guys are very open about sharing some of their favorites with us, their fans. The following is in my words–what I guess they might say. There is no claim of authenticity.
PIERO:
Okay, here are some of my favorite things….
Going fast. I love to go fast whether driving my Bentley or cruising around Naro on my scooter. If it weren’t for my passion for bringing our music around the world, I would have wanted to be a race car driver.
A lot of my favorite activities are water based….whether I’m ON the water on a jet ski or a boat, or IN the water diving and swimming, or even UNDER the water scuba diving, the sea is a big part of my life.
In the fast paced scheme of things, meditationhelps to keep me balanced—absorbing the peacefulness of a natural setting all by myself is a favorite thing to do.
Home and family are at the top of my list of favorite things, and now that I have my own home, sometimes I want to take some time there alone just relaxing.
Physical activityis very important to me. Working out at the gym, playing tennis or soccer, biking and bowling are all favorites.
So, these are just a few of my favorite things. Life is so full of wonderful experiences it would be hard to name them all. But I must say that Gian, Igna, my beautiful family and the Il Volo fans are all favorite things.
GIANLUCA SAYS;
A few of my favorite things….hmm, well…
I love soccer. I always follow the Italian team, but most of all I love to play the game myself. A highlight of my soccer career was making the goal that helped to win the game in Turin.
Piero has shown me the value of working out at the gym, and it has become a favorite thing for me to do. Of course I want to look good in my speedos when I go to the beach. I always keep my phone handy while on the machines at the gym just in case an important call comes in.
Spending time with brother Ernie is a favorite pastime. In spite of the difference in our ages, we are great friends. Now that he is older he often goes along on the world tours.
My phonehas become one of my favorite things since I am away from home so much. I need to stay in touch with the important people in my life….Mom, Dad, Ernie and Martina. How could I ever get along without it?
When I want to relax and have fun I may head to the beach. It’s my favorite place in the summer. Whether sunning, swimming, playing beach volley ball or soccer it’s where I want to be.
Can’t close without mentioning these favorites: my Il Volo brothers Piero and Igazio, my family and all of the Ilvolover fans.
IGNAZIO tells us…..
My favorite things?
I’ve always been crazy about animals, and recently have acquired the beginnings of my menagerie. It started with Walter and Buddy. I love to ride, and galloping along on Walter’s back is a favorite way to unwind. Buddy was my first puppy, and he is so much fun that he now has a brother. Playing with the dogs is another favorite way to relax. If I weren’t so passionate about the musical career of Il Volo I think I would have become a veterinarian.
I think that playing the drums is a favorite thing to do, because it allows me to really let myself go and feel the beat of the music while being as noisy as I want to be. I could be a professional drummer if I ever gave up singing, which I won’t of course, because it’s my most favorite thing.
When I’m really craving speed, I may turn to my “hog.” Racing around the countryside is a favorite thing to do. Sometimes I just need FAST and LOUD.
My favorite stalker is a very determined woman. She seems to show up wherever I am. She is partial to dimples and doesn’t miss an opportunity to get in a kiss whenever she can. If Allesandra and I ever decide to go our separate ways, I’m sure that Miss Marie will be waiting for me.
Also must include in my favorites: my devoted family, the Il Volo fans, and my adopted brothers, Piero and Gianluca.
I think the guys would agree with Robert Louis Stevenson when he wrote, “The world is so full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.”
Guys, you make us happy, and you are three of our FAVORITE THINGS.
