WORLD TOUR: BOSTON – LAVAL – NIAGARA FALLS by Daniela
It seemed like yesterday that the U.S. / Canada tour was supposed to start and instead we are already at the last four concerts.
But everything went really well, maybe even above expectations, considering that it was a while since Il Volo had been on tour in these places, but the volovers are lovely fans who do not forget their love for Il Volo over time.
March 31
BOSTON, with this concert the U.S. tour closes, this beautiful final date was held in the beautiful and historic BOSTON OPERA HOUSE.
Our friend Milagros was also present at this concert and will soon send us her impressions with a post!

MISERERE
BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS
Read what a beautiful review:
My favorite “happy accident”
by Kat 🌹 on 4/4/25Citizens Opera House – BostonRating: 5 out of 5
I have been listening to Il Volo ever since I “accidentally” stumbled upon one of their televised performances a few years ago. So of course when the opportunity presented itself, I just had to go see them perform live. I am so glad that I did. Not only was the music and performance wonderful, the venue was beautiful as well (I went to the concert at the Boston Opera House). I met some other fans before and after the concert, and I have to say, this group really does have the best bunch of fans—such nice personalities. It was the most memorable and wonderful evening.
At the Boston concert there was the couple Mary and Mark Minton.

What a beautiful experience to see these 3 amazing singers!
by Victoria on 4/5/25Place Bell – LavalRating: 5 out of 5
Il Volo gave an amazing concert! Their voices were truly magical and they were so charming with their little jokes! Love them! Please encourage them to speak a little more in their mother tongue! We need to make them feel welcome by allowing them to speak freely in Italian. It was an honor to watch them and I hope they will come back to Montreal again! Bravissimi!!
April 4-5

Our friend Judith was at the concert and she sent me this comment:
“This is Judith, I’m on my way home and I’m telling you about the concert at the Niagara Falls Casino. It was my fifth concert and I’ll tell you it was a perfect show, especially because it was the last night of the North American tour before returning to Italy. Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca were so happy and had fun on stage.
I think the concert hall held about 5,000 people and it was sold out.
I was actually surprised they chose Niagara Falls, it’s a very small resort community and there’s only one small airport on the American side.
The crowd was thrilled and amazed by their beautiful voices and delightful presentation.
At the soundcheck there were only about ten people and at the Meet & Greet only about twenty.
Probably 90% of the people at the concert had never seen them before.
The only person I knew and met with pleasure was Rose Marie Paliobeis who is part of Flight Crew, she was with her daughter Christine, we had a great time together.
I’m also sending you a photo taken from my hotel room where you can see the Casino and the writing IL VOLO.”
And so, it seems impossible but the concerts of the North American tour are over.
So long waiting for them to arrive and then it’s already all over.
They were frenetic days, one concert after another, a success of the public who participated enthusiastically and appreciated every song, every moment of Il Volo.
Il Volo published these words and these beautiful photos:
The North American leg is over. The World Tour is now heading to LATAM and Europe!
A big thanks to @trussardi!
And this was posted by Gianluca.
I believe that Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio did not disappoint the expectations of the new fans who approached one of their concerts for the first time and reconfirmed their power, their charisma, their skill to those who had already seen them live.
Like all beautiful dreams, this one is over and remains a sweet memory and a great expectation for the next tour.
They will return, I am sure, because the affection they receive from their fans is remarkable, it is an exchange of love from Il Volo to its fans, but also from the fans to Il Volo.
Now all that remains is to follow them in the various events and knowing their strength, we will not be long without news from them and in the meantime let’s get ready, they are returning to Italy, next appointment: MANTUA!!
See you soon, Daniela 🤗
Another chapter comes to a close: our ninth North American tour in sixteen years of our career. And yet, it feels just like the first. Because the emotion never fades, the excitement never wears off. What changes is the way we see the world, every day we learn to look with new eyes. And maybe that’s exactly what allows us to still be amazed. With great love, Gianluca, Ignazio, and Piero.

EVENTS OF THE END OF JUNE by Daniela
We had followed Il Volo, up to the concerts in Taormina, but since then there have been many events to talk about.
The World Meeting of Families at the Vatican and the beautiful meeting of Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca and their respective families, with the Pope, was really very beautiful and exciting, an event of which Susan spoke very well to you.
There was Piero’s birthday and everyone wrote their best wishes for him, even on our site the beautiful publication edited by Jana and Kelly, and Piero, while he was flying to Germany, made a short video of thanks to all the fans.
“Hello to all the fan clubs, I have received all your messages, wishes for my birthday, thank you again, you are always too kind. ❤
Now we are on the flight to Frankfurt, for the concert tonight, tomorrow night we’ll sing in Düsseldorf, we are waiting for you at all the concerts.”
Then, there were the first two concerts abroad, and exactly in:
June 25 in Frankfurt.
There was a lot of emotion, sold out. The audience was very warm.
Here are some amateur photos and videos from the evening.
And then, almost without resting, on the 26th of June in Düsseldorf.
Another crowd bath, enthusiastic to listen to Il Volo.
Here is a beautiful collage of some songs, made by the Düsseldorf Mitsubishi Halle, where the nice concert was held.
And now look how nice they are!!
My friend Albertine, from Netherlands, was in Düsseldorf, at her first Il Volo concert, that’s what she wrote to me.
“Hi Daniela, I am back in our hotel and I am very happy.
Their voices are amazing. It is a pity they did not come down from the stage as in Frankfurt. But any how I am very happy.
I cannot express in words. They are fantastic.
It was more than what I have imagined.
Their voices are really so good. Imagine, I took the train from Holland and my friend Marie-Jeanne Jans from Belgium, to Düsseldorf.
We haven’t met and for the first time met in the hotel in Düsseldorf, because of IL Volo. We are best friends now. Two old ladies that long to see and hear IL Volo.
That was an evening that we will never forget. In our hotel, we met a lot of people who came from Holland to be in the concert of IL Volo. The next morning we met and talk about the concert. After seen them in concert makes me more love them and respect them. I hope one day I can meet them personally and able to hug each one of them. ❤❤❤ 🌹🌹🌹 Send them my love, please. I wish I could speak Italian then I can understand all what they are talking. But I have enjoyed the concert very much. Next time, I hope to be in Taormina.”
And now some photos:
Quick return to Italy, Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio, post this photo, beautifully relaxed on Lake Como and we all think about a little relaxation before the concert in Italy …
………. but it is not so, Il Volo stopped at the beautiful Villa D’Este on Lake Como, for a private event, the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Villa D’Este.
Villa D’Este is a beautiful villa in Cernobbio, on Lake Como.
It is considered one of the most beautiful works of architectural art of the sixteenth century, it is surrounded by a 10-hectare (24.71 acres) park with centenary plants, and in its halls you can admire fascinating works of art.
And here are our favorites singing in the beautiful Villa D’Este, thanks to the videos by @monicamasperoo via Instagram Stories, published on the Le mamme IlVolovers fanpage, June 28, 2022.
And the beautiful fireworks, posted by Gianluca, at the end of the evening.
And now here we are on 29 June, the last concert of June, in the beautiful square of Ferrara, as you can see from the photo published by Maestro Grani.
The mayor of Ferrara also came to shake hands with Piero, Ignazio and GIanluca.
Beautiful square, warm audience and many kind thoughts from ordinary people, like this beautiful cake made for Il Volo by the Fratelli Asta pastry shop!!
And here is a nice video of the beginning of the concert.
Some photos.
And now a nice video, made by Gianluca’s mother, and, a nice surprise, during the final song of Grande Amore, a couple arrives in front of the stage and he bows to make her the marriage proposal. Superb, how much love is in the air !!!❤❤
And here is Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca with the beautiful future married couple!! Best wishes!!! ❤
Please click on the Ferrara Summer Festival logo below to view the video.
In short, the tour continues successfully.
Now a little pause, you will think, since the next concert is on July 7th, but no, because the day after the Ferrara concert, our three men were on a direct flight to Canada, but it is not known to do what, maybe a private event ???
Il Volo, no name could be more ideal for these three young men, these three rare pearls: Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero !!

IL VOLO WORLD TOUR: TORONTO by Daniela
Toronto, concert No. 1 of IL VOLO WORLD TOUR 2020, it was a success, but let’s go in order.
Let’s start with this beautiful message made by Piero in the afternoon before the concert.
IL VOLO World Tour 2020
I can assure you that I have not yet got used to the idea of doing concerts around the world. In fact, every new tour I relive it as if it were our first live performance. Adrenaline, enthusiasm and even a pinch of anxiety are always the same!
Today we kick off a new American “coast to coast” tour. We start from Toronto which was one of our first stops ten years ago.
So friends, fans, and to those who will see us for the first time live, get ready because we are all going to meet again in this crazy adventure.
The stage awaits us, so let’s sing all together.
Piero
Really sweet Piero. ❤️
But here we are on the evening of the concert. The photos and videos that have come to us are beautiful, many people full of enthusiasm.
Thanks also to Eleonora Ginoble who made some excellent shots.
Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, elegant and in excellent shape, have bewitched all the audience who have reacted with such affection.
Even the master Grani came to accompany them !!
But let’s see some amateur videos.

And here are the first impressions of Penina Honig, who was present at the concert.
The first concert is now over. It was a smashing success played to a packed house. I am traveling today and doubt if I will have the time to write a full report but I will say here that there were NO Italian solos with the exception of No Puede Ser. Ignazio sang Memories and Tonight and Gian sang Bridge Over Troubled Waters and She’s Always a Woman.
Piero’s other solo was Love Story. While those are beautiful it was disappointing not to hear the two we were all hoping to hear, namely Mi Mancherai and Almeno Tu Nell’universo.The only song from Musica they sang was Musica Che Resta. It was a beautiful concert, the guys were full of energy, Iganzio was at his funniest, Piero had some silly moments and the crowd loved every minute.
Gotta run! If I have time I write a better article and send it to the new address.
I didn’t meet anyone although I did bump into Loretta in the hallway on the way home.
It seems to me that it was a great success!
I went through the photos of the Meet & Greet, I don’t know all of you personally, but some do, and I’m sure this is Loretta Foley with her son. Well Loretta, once again you managed to take the photo close to the boys and close to Ignazio! 😄
It was a very beautiful event!!
Grazie mille, Penina, for your report.
Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca, you are fantastic, your voices never disappoint.
And now go fast for the second stage of the tour: LAVAL.

THE BEST OF 10 YEARS TOUR by Daniela
That’s right, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca: IL VOLO, are leaving for the tour and their destination is AMERICA !!!!
Finally the long-awaited time has arrived, a few more days and they will perform in their first stop in Toronto and then there will be a continuous succession of concerts in different cities.
I think I interpret that the patience of the long wait has left you, and a frenzied agitation has taken over that leads to joy, to finally be able to see them live and to be able to have the emotion of a whole concert with them.
Do you have your tickets ready ??
Please dear friends, to communicate your wishes, write me the date and the city of the concert where you will go and let me know the three absolutely favorite songs of all, which you would certainly like to listen to (they can also be solos). Pat will be able to make a list and ranking of favorite songs.
It will be interesting to find out what you would like to hear.
Are you all ready to dance and sing with Il Volo?
Are you ready for a shot, a warm hug, a sweet kiss, or to make a tug of ears at these tender brats?
How about a hug like this from Piero ???? It would be magnificent!
In this article by Antonella Esposito, the start of the new tour is announced, I translate for you:
ZON.it Article – Click Here
The celebrations for the first 10 years of Il Volo’s career continue. The trio that bewitched the world, setting record sales and sell outs, from January 2020 will be engaged in a series of live events. It starts with the “North American Tour”. From 28 January to March the Il Volo boys will perform in the most important symbolic places of world music.
Touching sacred temples of art, such as the Radio City Music Hall in New York, (February 6th) Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca will delight the ears and hearts of a multigenerational audience that for a decade now has been following them with affection and admiration. In June and July it will be the turn of Germany and Poland with the addition of new stages to a calendar full of commitments. Summer will mark the return of the group to Italy, with two dates in Verona in August and two dates in September in Taormina.
November and December will sign a really important tour which today has 37 dates, without excluding any additions. Turin, then Milan, to end in the capital on December 4th. A riot of live events not to be missed. Everything is ready for the first stop, on January 28th, in Toronto, from the prestigious Meridian Hall, the guys from Il Volo will perform for the Canadian public. Fasten your seat belts, let’s go. The journey of Il Volo begins, the most important one, the Best of, proud banner of a journey that began 10 years ago and which still today tells credible stories of sacrifice, passion and gratification.
By the way, have you all heard of the beautiful IL VOLO FAN FAIRE DINNER that Jeannette Giglio is organizing for March 15th at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas??
It will be a beautiful event and there will be an opportunity for you fans to get to know each other personally and maybe even some surprises !!
I have another request for you.
For those who go to a concert, please write your impressions, for better or for worse, even a few lines, which we will then publish and it will be interesting to read the differences between one concert and another.
Also tell us about the fans you met at the various concerts.
So Piero Ignazio and Gianluca are closing their bags, in a few hours they will leave.
Are you all ready for your concerts?
It will be awesome!!
I await your comments.
