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. 😂💙💙💙😂

O2 Arena Prague published these words:
“✨ 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.”

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
Everyone stands for the national anthem.

What a thrill…goosebumps for a hymn that anticipates a grandiose finale.🥰
Our SINNER wins the match!!!! 👏👏👏💪
The newspaper CORRIERE DELLA SERA published this interview:

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.
See you soon: Daniela 🤗

IL VOLO AT THE G7 ON TOURISM and PBS Special by Daniela

The G7 on Tourism was held in Florence on 13 and 15 November.
Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè chaired the work sessions, which saw the participation of ministers and heads of delegation from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and the European Union and some nations and outreach organizations – Saudi Arabi , Brazil, India, Egypt, OECD and UN Tourism.
After the introductory event, the two days of work began at 8:30 am on Thursday 14th, with the ceremony in which Minister Santanchè welcomes the ministers of the G7 and the outreach countries. The work sessions covered: tourism and socio-economic development opportunities; human capital – work, inclusion and skills; digitalization and artificial intelligence.

Palazzo Gondi

At the end of the first day of work, a visit to the village of Monteriggioni and Abbadia Isola was planned, where the ministers arrived on board a historic train. The day ended with a performance by Il Volo at Palazzo Gondi. The G7 ended on Friday morning, with the closing press conference of Minister Santanchè in the Sala delle Reali Poste of the Uffizi Gallery.
Il Volo with Eugenio Giani president of the Tuscany region.
And here is the moment in which the Minister of Tourism Daniela Santalchè presents IL Volo:
“They are an Italian excellence. I have to thank them because they are ambassadors of Italy to the world.
Here they are, (applause) I was simply saying that you are an Italian pride….”
Very few videos of the event that concern the performance of Il Volo, only a few fragments that I propose to you.
It wasn’t a real concert but a final performance at the end of dinner, it seems that Il Volo sang three songs:

Unfortunately this is all I can offer you for the presence of Il Volo at the G7 TURISMO, but in any case I would say that as always Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca made the Italian name shine on an important occasion.
But now we come to the important news that was published by PBS in recent days.

How wonderful, PBS is sponsoring the event, I’m happy for you that you will be able to see that concert soon!!

Please check your local listings for the airing dates in your area.

We in Italy, I don’t think we will have access to view it, so I await your comments!!!
And finally, there is a moment of rest for our young men who have had an endless series of commitments.
Through the photos published, they are telling us that they are well and that they are in a period of relaxation.
The photos of Piero comes from Turin, where together with his brother Francesco, he is attending the ATP Tennis finals and will certainly support Sinner!!
Gianluca publishes a beautiful photo of a truly relaxing place in the mountains, perhaps Abruzzo? Will he be alone or in good company? If he wants, he will let us know!!
Our Ignazio is certainly in sweet company with his beautiful wife Michelle and in the company of Arturo, everything expresses sweetness!!
That’s all for now.
I’m really happy that soon you will be able to see the PBS concert in the Valley of the Temples, surely the concert dates will be published afterwards!
And I’m even happier to see our young men relaxing and taking time for themselves.
Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio, enjoy your time, because there will be many future commitments and we are waiting for you with open arms!!
Daniela 🤗🤗
