HERE’S TO YOU

Il Volo a Monopoli: the dream concert organized by the Association. The Missing Piece
The event in Cala Batteria was a triumph and will remain in the hearts and memories of the spectators.
The fabulous musical trio of Il Volo arrives in Monopoli reaching the stage by boat, by sea. This is how the concert of the “Tutti per uno-Capolavoro tour” began, amid thunderous applause from the large audience in attendance.
A true enchantment among the musicians’ songs and other interpretations of immortal hits that have made the history of Italian music, with tributes to great artists.
Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero, the three Italians who bring the Italian “Bel canto” around the world, accompanied by a splendid orchestra, were able to truly excite that small but evocative part of Monopoli, Cala Batteria, the location that hosted this great show of the music and that the whole world could admire.
An extraordinary intuition therefore that of the Il Tassello Mancante Association, organizer of the event, the only date of the tour in Puglia. “The first to believe in it with us was Pasquale Vurro – the organizers declare – an authentic concert magician, betting on the uniqueness of this event just a few days before his painful death…”.
As further confirmation of the success achieved, the avalanche of post-event satisfaction certificates expressed on the Association’s Facebook page by spectators who also praised the high organizational level.
Il Tassello Mancante thanks the public present and all those who in any way made this event possible, from the sponsors to those responsible for complex but unique logistics such as that of Cala Batteria.
15 years after their debut, Il Volo will celebrate the musical milestone achieved with a world tour with a series of concerts, which will also take them to Dubai, Athens, Barcelona, Sofia and London in the autumn.

Ruins Theatre. Closing like a “Masterpiece” with Il Volo

Record with Il Volo in “Capolavoro Tour – Tutti per Uno” at the Teatro dei Ruderi in Cirella. We receive and publish the press release.
Yesterday, in the archaeological area of Cirella Antica, an important page of history was written for the live show in Calabria with the concert of the Musical Trio that brought Italy into the world.
An unprecedented festival masterfully directed by Alfredo De Luca, created with the contribution of the Calabria Region and the patronage of the Municipality of Diamante. Yesterday, with Il Volo, the event that involved the entire Riviera dei Cedri, reached 45,000 spectators from all over Italy and abroad. A live performance that enchanted the entire audience present with over two hours of setlist, ranging from tributes to Lucio Dalla and Ennio Morricone up to the pieces that made the trio famous throughout the world such as “Grande Amore” and “Capolavoro”. The trio is made up of two tenors and a baritone: Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble. They were the first Italian artists to have signed a direct contract with an American major label, Geffen. A Diamante standing ovation with a riot of applause for the concert that concluded the 2024 summer program. Local musicians were also involved in the show, within the orchestra that accompanied the trio for the entire concert.
The artistic director Alfredo De Luca, together with the Mayor of Diamante Achille Ordine, awarded the prize for best live with orchestra to the artists who managed to combine a classical repertoire with modern style and arrangements, including pop songs revisited in a classical key. De Luca finally concludes: “An important page has been written in the live entertainment of our region. Very strong media impact for the entire national festival. A year of programming to stage 14 live shows with artists of national and international caliber, one after the other. A clear message that reaches everyone, Calabria can open the doors to the best live shows around. It certainly wasn’t easy, great credit for the organizational machinery goes to the police, who deployed all their skills, in ordinary and extraordinary hours, to facilitate the influx and outflow of all the public. The biggest thanks goes to the public, willing to reach the archaeological area by traveling many kilometers by car, on foot, by bus, by train or by taxi to attend the concerts, spectators coming from all parts of the nation and beyond. Accommodation facilities full until the end of August, dispelling the myth of the central part of the month being an important tourist figure.
We must always try to activate synergies to ensure that the regional territory grows more and more. Thanks also to the local authorities involved and the municipal administration of Diamante who contributed to making the event one of the most important of the South”.
The TEATRO DEI RUDERI published these beautiful words:
Il Volo enchanted the audience at the Teatro dei Ruderi with an evening of pure musical magic! From the power of the biggest hits to the delicacy of the most modern songs, the trio has demonstrated once again why they are among the best of their genre. Each song was a masterpiece of elegance and virtuosity.
And here are Ignazio Piero and Gianluca with the nice prize they received.
But let me say that one of the most touching moments of the concert was this, when two boys, Graziano and  Mirko and I approached the stage and attracted Piero’s attention.
They asked to sing a verse from IL MONDO. And our generous boys didn’t have it repeated.
Enjoy this video and the skill of these two kids, who definitely don’t like rap!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Mirko published this photo with these beautiful words:
@mirkoofficialmusic Today I find myself writing these words with a heart full of gratitude. Realizing this dream, which I have nurtured for so long, is one of the most intense and fulfilling experiences of my life. There were moments when I thought it was just an illusion, an aspiration too great for me. But every time I doubted, there was someone of you ready to encourage me, to remind me how important it was not to give up.
I know that the road is long and this is just one of the many stages that gives me the strength and courage to look to the future with enthusiasm.
Thank you very much to all of you. I look forward to continuing to share the successes to come with you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH Il Volo ❤️❤️
Truly a beautiful moment, thanks also to the generosity of Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio and the skill of Mirko and Graziano!! ❤️

Grand finale for the Roccella Summer Festival 2024 with Il Volo: an extraordinary success.

The Roccella Summer Festival ended in style with the Il Volo concert, a highly anticipated event that sealed the success of this year’s music festival. After a season full of emotions, which featured prominent artists such as Biagio Antonacci, Annalisa, the Pooh and Mahmood, the Teatro al Castello di Roccella Jonica hosted the last unmissable date of the trio’s summer tour, entitled “Tutti per uno – Masterpiece”.
Il Volo enchanted the audience with a memorable concert, in which songs from their new album “Ad Astra” were performed, the first entirely composed of unreleased songs. This work marks an important stage in the artistic evolution of the group, which has been able to expertly mix unreleased pieces with the greatest successes of the Italian musical tradition and their consolidated repertoire. The live performance represented a true musical journey, celebrating the trio’s 15-year career, which began 2024 with the song “Capolavoro”, certified Gold after its presentation at the 74th edition of the Sanremo Festival.
Yesterday evening saw enthusiastic and warm participation from the public, who filled the suggestive open-air theatre, confirming once again the great appreciation for the event, created thanks to the collaboration between Ticket Service Calabria and the administration municipality of Roccella Jonica. The Roccella Summer Festival has established itself as one of the flagship events of the Calabrian summer, supported by the Calabria Region as part of the 2024 cultural promotion events, financed with Pac 2014/2020 resources and by the Calabria Straordinaria brand.
After this extraordinary closure, Il Volo will continue its summer tour with further dates in the most fascinating locations in Italy, and then move, in autumn, to the main European capitals and, in 2025, to the United States, Canada and Latin America. The Roccella Summer Festival, with a very high-level programming, has proven once again to be a reference event for the promotion of culture and music in Calabria.
Other shots of the evening.

This video is also very nice for TV, turn on the subtitles.

And so three more concerts ended and I would say with great success and a participating and enthusiastic audience.
I’m so happy to see people so involved and read so many nice comments.🥰
Our three young men have to run further south, Sicily awaits them, there are the two concerts in Agrigento which I think we will know little about.
But we have resources, because a friend of ours from Canada is going to both concerts so…….😉
For now there is only a lot of controversy about these two concerts and as usual the Italian press is fueling these stupid controversies with sometimes grotesque articles which are mainly for the organization of the two concerts, but which consequently also affect Il Volo. 🤬
Fortunately, Il Volo and all the staff do not respond to these useless attacks, no comments from them who seem not to care about these inappropriate articles.
That’s all for now, talk to you soon: Daniela 🤗
