The European tour continues at a rapid pace and continues to generate success.
The series of concerts in Germany has also concluded, and Il Volo is heading to the Czech Republic.
November 13th PRAGUE
The concert was in the 02 Arena.
Let’s go on stage!
CAPOLAVORO
SE accompanied by cellist Jodok
I PUFFI 🤣😂🤣 In this short chat video from Il Volo, Ignazio jokes about the color of the clothes worn by the boys, saying that the three of them look like Smurfs (in Italian PUFFI) who are, in fact, blue. 😂💙💙💙😂
LIBIAM DE LIETI CALICI together with a guest soprano Elina Nechayeva
“✨ IL VOLO will return to Prague in 2027! The trio of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble will once again grace the O2 Arena on October 18, 2027. It will be their fourth concert in Prague and once again a great treat for all pop opera lovers.
Today’s performance was full of emotion, elegance, and unforgettable musical moments. IL VOLO shone with the Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague under the guidance of Martin Šanda, and special guests: Swiss cello virtuoso Jodok Vuille and Estonian soprano Elina Nechayeva.
In 2027, fans will once again be able to experience the charm of Italy, the power of the three voices, and the exceptional musical atmosphere that combines classical tradition with a modern twist.”
Gianluca hugs a fan and Piero’s sweet memory of Barbara. ❤️🙏
Il Volo thanks Prague and Budapest with this fun video!!
MVM DOME posted these beautiful photos announcing a future concert in 2027 with these words:
“The bar was already high last year, but yesterday they easily cleared it. 🙌🏻 What will be here in 2027? 🤭”
Once again, two amazing concerts, once again the magic of their voices was confirmed, and the large audience responded with so much love!!
Now there are no concerts until November 23rd, so our guys can get some rest…do you think that’s possible????
Indeed!!!
The ATP Tennis FINALS were held in Turin in November, and the match between the two finalist champions, SINNER(Italian) and ALCARAZ(Spanish), took place on Sunday, November 16th. To everyone’s surprise, because the news hadn’t been widely spread, the live TV broadcast of the event began with the entrance of IL Volo, who sang the Italian National Anthem: FRATELLI D’ITALIA
Il Volo’s anthem before the match between Sinner and Alcaraz: “What a thrill! Like us, they started at 14.”
It certainly wasn’t the first time the Il Volo boys had sung the Mameli Anthem, but this time, in the center of Turin’s Inalpi Arena, shortly before the thrilling match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the 2025 ATP Finals, the artists were also filled with emotion. “We weren’t used to it, and we weren’t in front of our usual crowd, but it was even more beautiful. We felt all the emotion and immense affection.”
We spoke with Gianluca Ginoble and Piero Barone, who explained how they were asked to sing at the last minute: “We’re currently busy with our European tour,” Piero explains. “Yesterday we were in Budapest and we received the offer to sing at the ATP Finals; we wouldn’t have missed it for anything in the world. We’ve never responded so quickly to a request.”
All three singers are passionate about tennis, and it seems they play regularly. They’re pretty good, in short. Gianluca, a little less so: “Ignazio and Piero often play together. You could say that Piero is a bit like our Sinner, while Ignazio is instinctive; he even shouts a bit, like Alcaraz. For now, I’m the umpire.” They say that, finding themselves on this unconventional stage, they’ve noticed the differences but, above all, the similarities in the situations; sport and music aren’t that far apart after all.
“It’s clear that these two young champions were born to do what they do,” Piero reflects. “They discovered that they were practically children and are able to live off their passion, dedicating themselves to it, putting everything they have into it. They are an inspiration. That’s what we try to do too: we started at 14, discovering our calling, and we see a lot of ourselves in them. It’s a tough journey, but a beautiful one.” Gianluca quotes Morricone in “Silence is Music,” when he describes the sacredness of the exchange and the respect of thousands of people who almost held their breath so as not to disturb. “It seems like a meditative practice. Which is then interrupted by explosions of joy: a fantastic experience that is very similar to a standing ovation.”
And here in the backstage are Sinner and Il Volo waiting to greet the champion.
And once again, our beloved guys amazed and thrilled us with two more fantastic concerts, but above all, with a truly Italian sense of pride for the closing of the 2025 ATP Finals tennis tournament.🎾
A few days off (perhaps) and then the European Tour continues from Oradea, Romania.
While Gianluca, Ignazio, and Piero are singing the song, Piero notices a pin sticking out of Ignazio’s jacket at the shoulder, and he thinks about pushing it in. Naturally, the pin pricks Ignazio’s shoulder, and he goes backstage to see what happened (all while the song continues). Then Ignazio comes back on stage with the pin in his hand and shows it to Piero, and Gianluca also comes over to see the pin, all this while the song continues, the guys keep singing, and the audience laughs loudly!! It’s Ignazio’s turn to sing, and instead of saying: “Life is in the jubilation…..” he says: “The pin is in the jubilation….” 😂🤣😂
Here are the boys having dinner with a friend who is a football agent.
November 11th MANNHEIM
The concert was in Sap Arena.
OPERA
IL MONDO
I found almost the entire concert held in Mannheim, unfortunately it was filmed from the side but it provides almost the entire context of the evening.
I’ll translate for you the beautiful speech Ignazio gave at the beginning of the video, after “Who Wants To Live Forever,” to introduce his solo (Memory)🥰
In the German language, Ignazio asks Piero to leave the stage. Gianluca asks if he’ll sing alone, and Ignazio says they both have to leave, then decides to address the audience in Italian. (someone also asks for Sicilian language)
IGNAZIO = I think that in these almost 17 years together, which however feel like 20, they have been wonderful years, and I think that behind these 17 years now, there is a great message that we bring especially to the younger ones, because today we are in a world where individualism is increasingly common, and being in a group and staying together like we are after 17 years is really difficult.
We have always based our relationship on three fundamental factors: RESPECT, LOVE and TRUST. ❤️(applause)
It’s because I respect them (Piero and Gianluca) that I sent them away 😂 (it’s ironic – laughter), and it’s because of the love for them that I said they should go away,🤣 (laughter) and the trust is that they will then come back 😍(laughter).
Over these 17 years, we’ve also tried to showcase our three totally different personalities. People say I’m the craziest, I don’t know how to say “crazy” in German (someone in the audience tells him and he tries to pronounce it – applause).
People say I’m the craziest, but despite being the craziest, I’m the first to get married (applause), maybe that’s also why I’m crazy, anyway, even though I’m the craziest, I was the first to have a child, I’m a dad (applause), of course you’re all happy, but I’m the one who doesn’t sleep at night and changes diapers. 😍 💙
We (Il Volo) also have three different voices, and we try to demonstrate these three different voices through solos, through music, singing solos.
Tonight I’ll sing a song that’s very special to us because it reminds us of 2012 when we toured the United States with the great Barbra Streisand. It was a wonderful memory, especially because Barbra Streisand has sung this next song countless times, and her version is one of the most beautiful versions in the world and will remain in the history of musicals. 🥰
The time for the European Tour has already arrived. Our guys are destined to travel constantly, perhaps that’s why they chose such an appropriate name: Il Volo = The Flight.
The evening of November 5th, here in Italy, an event was dedicated to Pavarotti: PAVAROTTI 90, recorded at the Arena in Verona on September 30th, it was broadcast on television on Canale 5. The live event (which I already previewed with an amateur video filmed live during the evening) featured numerous guests, including Il Volo, who performed two songs, and now I’m re-proposing it to you with the Canale 5 video.
The evening was hosted by Michelle Hunziker, Il Volo will sing Capolavoro together with three sopranos and will follow with Granada.
MICHELLE = And now this special moment, in the spirit of “Pavarotti & Friends” (Pavarotti & Friends was a charity musical event organized for ten years between 1992 and 2003 in Modena by tenor Luciano Pavarotti and his second wife Nicoletta Mantovani to support humanitarian causes), six fantastic artists, three women and three men, will join their voices for a duet that will become a sextet.
Together with Marion Battistelli, Carmen Gianatasio, and Giulia Mazzola we welcome with applause: Il Volo! (Il Volo enters amid applause).
Ladies and gentlemen, at Pavarotti 90: CAPOLAVORO.
MICHELLE = Thank you to Marion Battistelli, Carmen Gianatasio, and Giulia Mazzola (the three sopranos exit).
Guys, come here to me, good evening. What a pleasure to see these kids that I saw when they were very little. We were on stage together at Wetten Das in Germany (2013), and now you’re a father, Ignazio!
IGNAZIO = Yes, now I’m a father, and it’s a wonderful thing.
MICHELLE = Why don’t you sleep anymore, you asked?
IGNAZIO = No, I don’t sleep anymore, but when you imagine becoming a father, you think… yes, I won’t sleep… and maybe you see it as a negative thing. Then you realize that even if you don’t sleep, and you watch him or give him milk when he wakes up in the morning, everything, every sacrifice is worth it in the end, you get the idea!
MICHELLE = It’s true!! Guys, I’m so happy to see you here. What’s it like to be here and sing for Luciano Pavarotti?
GIANLUCA = It’s a great privilege for us. It all started with Pavarotti, who brought this music out of the theater, even to the public, to a large audience all over the world, mixing various musical genres, and then came Maestro Andrea Bocelli. We’re proud to be able to bring this music to even the youngest audiences and to continue doing so, hopefully for the rest of our lives.
MICHELLE = And you’re doing it divinely, I’d say. I’m a huge fan of yours, you know that (it’s true, she’s a great friend and fan of Il Volo).
PIERO = Thank you! We never had the chance to meet Luciano Pavarotti, but we can say he inspired us, he was the one who inspired us to do what we’re doing, and we try to do it in the best way possible, with a smile, but above all with love and passion. (applause)
MICHELLE = Guys, I’d say you can come back to center stage because you have another big surprise for us, right?
IGNAZIO = Yes!
MICHELLE = You can head to the center of the stage, please (the song will be conducted by Placido Domingo, who is filmed hugging and replacing Maestro Leonardo De Amicis, who, I remind you, conducted our guys during Ti Lascio Una Canzone).
On the podium, an exceptional conductor: Placido Domingo (hugs with the guys).
Il Volo sings: GRANADA.
Il Volo conducted by Placido Domingo, the maestro who directed this beautiful Luciano Pavarotti Foundation Orchestra. These young men, full of energy and vitality, had the pleasure of being conducted by the maestro. (Long applause and bows from Il Volo and Domingo.)
It was a great honor for us to be able to pay tribute to Maestro Pavarotti.
Thank you.
These are beautiful thoughts captured backstage.
IGNAZIO = It was an emotional evening, also because Pavarotti means so much to us; he means inspiration. He’s one of those artists who, over the years, has taught us not to place limits on music or taste.
GIANLUCA = I believe it’s right to remember the man who moved the world. As long as we live, we will always strive to carry this music forward, with our voices, even for the younger generation.
PIERO = The man who brought opera to the general public, thank you, Luciano!
While I’m in Berlin for Tosca, I’m thrilled to relive the extraordinary evening at the @arenadiverona for Pavarotti 90, together with Il Volo, @mariambattistelli, and @giuliamazzola96, to celebrate Maestro Luciano Pavarotti.
His art, his humanity, and his voice continue to accompany us, inspire us, and unite worlds and generations. 💫
A truly beautiful event, a precious memory for someone who lived for music.
Our guys, as always, were impeccable: talented, handsome, elegant, and histrionic, because they know how to keep their cool even on important occasions.
It was almost a surprise; no one expected this wonderful participation from our TV crew on Silvia Toffanin’s show, THIS IS ME, aired on Canale 5 on October 29th.
The announcement of Il Volo’s participation was made only 2-3 days in advance, and in this short video, we see the crew themselves confirm it:
The program was on Canale 5, and Canale 5 videos aren’t available outside of Italy, so I’d like to thank my friend Carmen, the administrator of Il Volo En Clase, who posted the entire video of Il Volo’s appearance, which I’ll now translate for you.
Along with Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca, Silvia’s living room also features two other guests: Gerry Scotti (a great host) and Gigi Buffon (a great goalkeeper).
SILVIA = Good evening and welcome to THIS IS ME! This evening, too, we celebrate the greats of music, entertainment, and sports. We begin with three unique voices, three artists who have sung on the world’s most important stages.
(A video of some of Il Volo’s highlights begins.) I’ll translate the lyrics for you:
IN 16-YEAR CAREER 9 WORLD TOURS
THEY’VE PERFORMED DUETS WITH THE GREATEST ARTISTS
OVER 22 MILLION COPIES WORLDWIDE:
IL VOLO
SILVIA = Il Volo!!
(Amidst the applause of the crowd, Gianluca, Piero, and Ignazio descend the stairs, shaking hands)
Welcome! Hi Gianluca, Piero, Ignazio. (Hugs and kisses)
IGNAZIO = How are you?
SILVIA = Good! Welcome, please take a seat!
You started early, your destinies crossed when you were still teenagers, and from there began a dream that took you to the biggest stages and touring the world together, right? Even arguing sometimes, look!
IGNAZIO = Oh yes!
GIANLUCA = It’s a marriage.
SILVIA = More than a marriage.
(A video with the best moments of Il Volo’s career begins)
(* Voices in the video) *IGNAZIO = You know when you open a drawer and think, what’s in there? (The drawer of dreams) I’d like to do this, that’s what we want to do (is to sing – Ignazio is embarrassed to see himself as a fifteen-year-old).
*PIERO = I had a wonderful childhood, I never lacked love. I’ve had a lot of experience with grandparents, who are the greatest privilege one can receive in life (applause).
*IGNAZIO= I grew up like the usual families who leave their homeland to seek their fortune. I was lively, I got up to all sorts of mischief.
*GIANLUCA=I’m very proud to be from Abruzzo.
I’ve always been a very curious child, a very restless child. We didn’t sing together right away; we were very lucky to be on the same show as each other.
*IN 2009 THEY PARTICIPATED IN THE TALENT SHOW “TI LASCIO UNA CANZONE”
*GIANLUCA= We were the only kids who sang the same genre, then they decided to put us together, and from there our musical journey began.
*WITH “O SOLE MIO” THEY SING TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME
*GIANLUCA= And then life changed radically, from school to Los Angeles.
*PIERO = To We are the World for Haiti
*JUST ONE YEAR LATER, THEY WERE THE ONLY ITALIAN ARTISTS TO PARTICIPATE IN “WE ARE THE WORLD FOR HAITI”
*GIANLUCA = We had a childhood and adolescence that were completely out of the ordinary.
*GIANLUCA, IGNAZIO, AND PIERO BECOME “IL VOLO”.
*IGNAZIO = A good omen for flying to every city.
*THEY WERE JUST THREE TEENAGERS WHEN THEY DUETED WITH A GIANT OF MUSIC
*WITH BARBARA STREISAND ON TOUR THROUGH AMERICA AND CANADA IN 2012.
*IGNAZIO = Many kids want to follow this path, and we were lucky.
*GIANLUCA = We were lucky.
*IGNAZIO = Lucky to do all this.
SILVIA = (to Piero) From school to Barbara Streisand in an instant.
PIERO = Gigi’s video (Gigi Buffon was there with them; the video dedicated to him came before the Il Volo one) ends with Gigi saying, “Each of us is born with a destiny,” but this destiny must be accompanied by great luck, that of having people, parents, who help you discover your greatest calling. If you don’t have these people to help you in this discovery, it’s difficult to reach that destiny. (applause)
SILVIA = So your families have been important.
GIANLUCA = Yes.
PIERO = It was the greatest blessing.
SILVIA = Family.
GIANLUCA = We were talking about parents, and blessing is also having parents who don’t want their children to do what they (the parents) want, but to do what their children want to do.
IGNAZIO = Imagine, I wanted to be a veterinarian!
SILVIA = Oh, just think.
GERRY = But you were fine as a vet, you have the right physique.
IGNAZIO = “Let’s see what’s wrong with this little dog”… ha ha
SILVIA = And yet, the music was the star, Ignazio, and you can’t do without it.
Everything’s ready for you, to hear two wonderful songs…
PIERO = I thought that was for Ignazio (the fabrics are hanging from the ceiling, on which a dancer will be performing).
SILVIA = Marisol (the dancer) is here, and we’re saying goodbye. Everything’s already prepared for Capolavoro and Grande Amore: Il Volo! (The guys get up to go to the place where they’ll sing – applause)
IGNAZIO = (to the other guests) Do you want to come with us?
PIERO = Anyway, excuse me, but doesn’t Gigi Buffon look like the fourth member of Il Volo? (laughter)
SILVIA = That could be it.
GIGI = Starting tomorrow.
SILVIA = Starting tomorrow, Gigi, you have a future!
(The two songs begin, enlivened by beautiful choreography; at the end, there’s huge applause; all three guys turn to applaud the dancers)
PIERO = (to the dancers) Well done, guys!
GIANLUCA = Applause for the dancers.
PIERO = Well done, everyone. Thank you.
IGNAZIO = Thank you so much.
(The crowd stands for a standing ovation)
GERRY = Standing ovation, standing ovation, how wonderful, yes.
SILVIA = Very much.
GERRY = See, you ask me what I envy in life? I wish I could sing 10 times worse than Il Volo and I wish I could save 100 times worse than Buffon, (laughter) and instead I end up being a TV presenter.
SILVIA = Come on, you didn’t do badly.
GERRY = Everyone has the grass on the other side. (meaning everyone appreciates what others do).
PIERO = You’re great, though.
GERRY = The biggest! (He means by size)
SILVIA = (to Gerry) So, I didn’t just have you come from Milan, but I also had a surprise…
GERRY = What’s a panettone? (a typical Milanese Christmas cake)
SILVIA = No, no, always something to eat…
GERRY = La Modonnina (the famous statue of the Madonna that dominates Milan from the high spire of the Duomo)
SILVIA = That’s difficult…
GERRY = What did you have come??
SILVIA = The Wheel and Samira!! (Gerry’s evening program is THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE, a game show, Samira is the valet – applause, the beautiful Samira enters)
Samira = Good evening, good evening everyone, hello Silvia.
SILVIA = You brought The Wheel.
GERRY = We can go home, guys (he jokes, Samira hugs Gerry and says hello to Il Volo and Buffon).
SILVIA = No, you play.
GERRY = You stole it! (meaning The Wheel)
SILVIA = Yes, I stole the wheel.
GERRY = Are you crazy?
SILVIA = Yes, I even customized it because I’ve already formed the teams: Ignazio with Gigi since they have the same type, you two play together, Piero and Gianluca, come here.
SAMIRA = We’re here.
GERRY = They must be looking for her, you really stole her!
SILVIA = I stole Samira and The Wheel too.
GERRY = It’s a different wheel, guys (he means it’s just similar to the original)
PIERO = Hold on, everyone, I have to confess something.
SILVIA = You’re welcome.
PIERO= I travel with an iPad and I watch THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE every evening (applause), no, I didn’t do it for the applause, this wheel is rigged.
SILVIA = No, this is the wheel of wonders made especially for you.
PIERO = All that’s missing is BANKRUPTCY, EXPRESS… (the real themes of the wheel)
GERRY = Bravo!
PIERO = Where’s the EXPRESS? Where’s the joker?
SAMIRA = We have the joker in person (she means Gerry)
PIERO = And the prize?
GERRY = There will be a prize… but there’s the scoreboard!!
SILVIA = Yes, there’s the scoreboard!
SAMIRA = Really, but it’s beautiful, shall I go there?
SILVIA = Yes, go there, go Samira.
SAMIRA = I’m going, I’m going to the board.
IGNAZIO = I’ve never gotten anything right. Express.
GERRY = So, Sam (Samira), we’re live from the La Ruota studio.
SAMIRA = Yes.
GERRY = Now a cameraman is focusing on the board where a sentence will appear that they tell me will be titled: GERRY and SILVIA. (The game works like this: the wheel spins to decide who goes first. You name the consonants, and if they’re in the sentence, the boxes light up and Samira turns them over. At the end, you have to guess the hidden sentence.)
GERRY = So, let’s make Buffon turn. (Gigi)
GIGI = Clockwise or counterclockwise?
PIERO = Like this.
GERRY = Like this and let’s see who starts. Easy, don’t break it, it’s fake.
GERRY = They’ll start saying a consonant…Ignazio and Gigi start.
Let’s see if it works (the scoreboard), it works here too.
GERRY = Good, good. As long as you have the game, you go ahead, say another one.
GIGI = S, the S for Savona.
SAMIRA = No, the S for Samira, sorry….
GIGI = The S for Silvia, then….
SAMIRA = Yes, and for Silvia.
SILVIA = S for Samira!!
GERRY = We only have two.
SAMIRA = There are two.
GERRY = As long as they keep the game (that is, they guess the consonants), they go ahead.
IGNAZIO = T for Tuna.
GERRY = The T for Tuna….
SILVIA = Let’s see….
SAMIRA = One
GERRY = There is, there’s only one.
Oh my, Silvia and Gerry, look, it’s difficult with the board, it’s not easy….Gigi?
GIGI = I have to find a consonant that’s a little out of the ordinary, let’s go with the F.
GERRY = The F.
GIGI = The F for fire.
GERRY = There’s that too.
SAMIRA = One
GIGI = It saved us.
GERRY = I’d put a vowel.
SAMIRA = A vowel, come on, good job.
IGNAZIO = Why can you do that?
GERRY = Yes, you can buy it, I’ll give you 500 euros (laughter – in the real game, vowels have to be paid).
IGNAZIO = It’s a bit expensive, damn! A of damn (in Italian A di Ammazza).
GERRY = A for Ammazza.
SAMIRA = Let’s see if there’s an A… there is, there is…
GERRY = Well done, well done and lucky, but only they (meaning Ignazio and Gigi) are playing.
GIGI = But can they (Piero and Gianluca) play?
GERRY = Not as long as you keep winning.
GIGI = Then I’ll take a chance.
GERRY = Ask for the W.
GIGI = A G for Gigi.
GERRY = A G for Gigi.
PIERO = There isn’t one.
GERRY = It’s your turn (Piero and Gianluca)
PIERO = The L.
GERRY = The L for Luna.
SAMIRA = Let’s see?…two.
GERRY = A couple, go on, Samira…
SAMIRA = Come on, we’re getting closer.
GERRY = Silvia and Gerry….one sentence, the audience is murmuring, it’s your turn
GIANLUCA = The C.
GERRY = The C for Como….is there? Yes, there is, but only one. (Ignazio laughs), don’t disturb…
PIERO = Can I call a vowel?
SILVIA = Yes.
PIERO = An E, the E for Empoli.
GERRY = Let’s see with the E, look, he (Piero) seems ready to give the answer.
SAMIRA = I see him as an expert, there are four.
GIANLUCA = Be careful….
GERRY = Come on, ask for another one, you can do it.
PIERO = Another vowel, the I.
GERRY = The I.
SAMIRA = Let’s see…
IGNAZIO = Okay, the I.
GERRY = There is, there is, and the word Felice is there.
GIANLUCA = UNA FELICE, yes, exactly.
IGNAZIO = I understood the first sentence and the last one.
GERRY = But first they (Piero and Gian) have to make a mistake.
PIERO = The D of Domodossola.
SAMIRA = Two, two.
PIERO = The consonant R.
GERRY = Yes, we’re there…
SILVIA = Yes, go…
SAMIRA = Are we there?
SILVIA = Now it’s easy.
GERRY = The crowd is shouting, soon, say it.
GIANLUCA = We’ve got it, we’ve got it.
PIERO = A HAPPY REUNION FROM THE TIMES OF WORD OF MOUTH (applause and hugs)
PIERO = It’s done!
GERRY = It’s obvious you play, well done!
SILVIA = It’s done, thank you!! Well done.
GERRY = Well done, Samira.
SILVIA = Let’s look at the photo Gerry, it’s us, look how young we were. Too many years ago Gerry.
(The photo of Gerry and Silvia appears in 1999. Gerry Scotti hosted a game show called PASSAPAROLA, which aired on Canale 5, and Silvia was one of the showgirls called Letterine. For Silvia Toffanin, it was her first appearance; she was 20 years old. Piersilvio Berlusconi, the young son of the then owner of the television network, saw her and began courting her. Since then, they have been a couple and have had two children. Piersilvio is now CEO of all Mediaset television networks.)
IGNAZIO = But you were a little girl.
GERRY = She was a little girl, look, how embarrassing, I was so old.
SILVIA = But you look great.
GIANLUCA = He’s Benjamin Button in real life.
SILVIA = Yes. Thanks, Samira, bring the wheel.
SAMIRA = I’ll take it back.
GERRY = (to the audience) Everyone knew (the solved sentence), but you didn’t suggest it, well done.
SAMIRA = Hello everyone, thank you, you’re a great inspiration.
GERRY = Go, Samira, we have to go to work later. Long live Samira.
SILVIA = It’s time to see your extraordinary career that’s taken you all over the world. Look!

SILVIA = It’s you…and all those people…
IGNAZIO = But because, having started very young, that is, very early, we experienced everything with great naiveté.

GERRY = It’s really you.
PIERO = Can I add something?
SILVIA = You’re welcome!
PIERO = We’ve had the opportunity to see some of our experiences, but recently we’ve organized some events, some evenings with the program TUTTI PER UNO, which are dedicated evenings in prime time on Canale 5. If three young people like us have the opportunity to achieve these things, it’s also thanks to those who give us the opportunity to make them come true, and this network is allowing us so much. It’s allowing us to realize great dreams, because we desire so much, we imagine, but then to make them come true, we need someone who gives us the opportunity to do so. (Long applause – it’s a thank you to Mediaset for allowing them to organize the wonderful TUTTI PER UNO events.)
SILVIA = And I’m happy to be here to tell you your dream, Gerry’s dream, Gigi Buffon’s dream.
Everything’s ready for you to sing THE SOUND OF SILENCE.
GIANLUCA = We dedicate this to Gerry.
GERRY = Noooo, it’s one of my favorites!!
I can ruin it for you… (sing with them)
IGNAZIO = If you want, yes.
GERRY = Or I’ll send Buffon. (who’s out of tune)
SILVIA = Il Volo. (applause, the song begins)
(applause and standing ovation)
PIERO = Thank you.
SILVIA = Thank you, come on.
GERRY = Well done, and well done to the dance troupe, obviously, (people cheering the guys on), well done, well done.
SILVIA = Thank you for being here, thank you for telling your story.
GERRY = It was wonderful! So I have to tell you something, Silvia. Usually, as you know, I get emotional about things that concern me. This evening I’m happy because following their stories made me as emotional as I did with my own. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
It was a beautiful evening. This show, hosted in a very natural and kind way by Silvia, highlighted the best moments of Il Volo’s career, highlighted their beautiful words, and honored their voices.
It was truly a wonderful show, followed by a huge home audience, which earned the highest audience share of the evening.
Our guys were truly genuine and very familiar, they felt at ease in Silvia’s living room. Well done, guys.
But I want to finish even more beautifully with this very sweet shot.❤️💙❤️
