The summer Italian tour, which began in Caracalla, continues through several beautiful Italian locations.

Cattolica is a beautiful town located in Emilia Romagna, and overlooks the Adriatic Sea, a destination for many summer tourists.

Last night’s concert was wonderful!!! Those 2 hours flew by and I sang at the top of my lungs, I laughed, I was moved, I screamed and I felt indescribable emotions!!!
My mom and I were in the second row and we saw them very well!!! Then before the concert my parents and I arrived as rehearsals were starting, we listened to them outside the Arena and I liked them very much!!! What about the 3 of them? Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero were beautiful, very elegant and full of energy!!! They give me so much without knowing it, they make me feel good and make me happy with their songs!!! I am very happy that they have returned for the second time to Cattolica, a seaside city that I have loved since I was one year old!!! PUPPIES I LOVE YOU!!!

An evening full of emotions and great music that inaugurated the 2024 season of concerts at the Cattolica Arena. ❤️
Two hours of passionate and moving repertoire with tributes to great singer-songwriters such as Battiato, Cohen and Sinatra.
Having successfully archived the concert in Emilia Romagna, Il Volo will go to Veneto where it will perform two concerts: Marostica and Venice.

July 3 MAROSTICA
3 July, the concert is in Marostica in the beautiful Piazza degli Scacchi (where the chess game is played with real people).
Unfortunately the weather was not favourable, it was cloudy all day and it rained in the evening, the Il Volo concert opened the concert season in Marostica.
But despite the weather it was a success. I immediately propose this article from THE FRONT ROW:

IL VOLO: SOLD OUT FOR THE FIRST EVENING OF THE MAROSTICA SUMMER FESTIVAL
The first evening of the Marostica Summer Festival featured the famous trio Il Volo, who gave the public an unforgettable musical experience despite the adverse weather conditions. With a sold out which confirmed their popularity, the three young tenors demonstrated once again their talent and their ability to enchant audiences of all ages.
Despite the pouring rain that accompanied the evening, the audience of the Marostica Summer Festival did not let itself be discouraged, filling every corner of the suggestive Piazza Castello to watch the trio’s performance. Il Volo was able to transform a meteorologically unfavorable evening into a memorable event, performing with great energy and passion.
Il Volo, composed of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, began its journey in 2009, when the three met while participating in the talent show “Ti lascio una canzone”. Since then, their career has been a crescendo of successes that has led them to tread the most prestigious stages in the world.
In 2010, Il Volo released their first album of the same name, which quickly climbed the international charts, achieving great success in Italy and abroad. Their unique style, which blends Italian opera tradition with pop, has won over a large audience, making them ambassadors of Italian music in the world.
Throughout their career, Il Volo has collected numerous awards and recognitions, testimony to their talent and dedication to music. Among the most important awards, the victory at the Sanremo Festival in 2015 with the song “Grande Amore” stands out, which marked a turning point in their career, leading them to represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest of the same year, where they placed third.
Their album “Grande Amore” went platinum in Italy and consolidated their international fame. The trio has also received numerous other awards, including Latin Pop Albums Artist of the Year at the Billboard Latin Music Awards and Special Lifetime Achievement Award at the Wind Music Awards.
The concert setlist included some of their most famous songs, alternating with pieces from their latest album. The perfect harmony of their voices, combined with their stage presence and ability to interact with the audience, created a magical atmosphere that warmed the hearts of those present.
The trio once again demonstrated their professionalism, adapting to the difficult climatic conditions and maintaining a high level of performance. The audience, for its part, responded with enthusiasm, applauding and singing along with the three tenors, in an engaging exchange of emotions.
The success of Il Volo at the Marostica Summer Festival is yet another confirmation of their ability to unite different generations through music.
Their modern interpretation of the opera tradition continues to win fans around the world, making them one of the most loved and respected Italian groups internationally.
The first evening of the Marostica Summer Festival was a triumph of talent and passion, thanks to the extraordinary performance of the Il Volo trio. Despite the rain, the audience was able to live a unique experience, confirming once again that quality music can overcome any obstacle.
And here are some videos in a nice summary of the evening made by Due Punti Events.
Despite the rain, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca joined the audience during HERE’S TO YOU.
HALLELUIAH + SUCCEDE
This article from TV A VICENZA which I translated for you is also very nice.
WITH “IL VOLO” THE MAROSTICA SUMMER FEST TAKES OFF
Thank you emotions last night in Marostica thanks to the performance of “Il Volo”, in a Piazza degli Scacchi seething with enthusiasm despite the rain.
VOICE= The rain does not slow down the take-off of the Marostica Summer Festival Volksbank. Il Volo immediately sold out at the fourth stop in Piazza degli Scacchi where it debuted in 2014.
GIANLUCA= Thanks for still being here after 10 years. (cheers)
IGNAZIO= Especially on these summer evenings, arid, not very humid. (laughter)
PIERO= However, I have to tell you, the water I see in Veneto, nowhere. (laughter – he means that the rain he sees in Veneto, he doesn’t see anywhere, remembering that even the concert in the Arena one year ago, Verona is also in Veneto)
VOICE= Under ponchos and cloaks, 4,000 applaud Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, standard bearers of pop-lyrical music that conquers international audiences.
The 10 years of the Festival coincide with the 15 years of career that the trio celebrates with the TUTTI PER UNO – CAPOLAVORO tour, from the title of the song taken to Sanremo.
New projects but also a return to their origins in the square that saw them take flight.

The first concert in San Marco of the summer: the music stands out IL VOLO.
In Piazza San Marco, in Venice, two hours of music performed in the ‘classical bel canto’ style by Il Volo: an unforgettable evening.
The first concert in San Marco of the summer could not have had a better start. Pietro Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, aka Il Volo, won over the 6 thousand spectators (including coffee) with their fantastic voices used as perfect instruments (video below). It was an exciting evening as hasn’t happened in Venice for a long time.
A finally clear sky, a summer but cool evening, the splendid monumental setting of the most beautiful square in the world, were the setting for a special evening. On stage the musical group that has been enchanting the audience for 15 years with their harmonies and a classical repertoire that winks at the modern one loved by all.
The notes of opera arias by Puccini and Verdi, of songs by the legendary Ennio Morricone, of traditional Italian and international songs resonated in the San Marco wedding favor with great elegance. But all tastes will have been satisfied having ranged from A Love So Big to Nessun Dorma, from Caruso to At least you in the Universe, through the famous music of Gladiator, up to Hallelujah. And at the center of the program are their great successes: “Grande Amore”, and “Capolavoro” , which is already a Gold Record.
“Good evening Venice, for us it is a great emotion to be here to celebrate our 15 years of career together”. But the audience felt the emotion (and some shivers) of being able to hear those instruments with perfect intonation.
TGR Veneto also talked about the concert.

All the “women” of Il Volo were present at the concert:
(from left) Eleonora Ginoble, (not very visible, she is turned away), follows Caterina Boschetto, Eleonora Barone, Nina Boschetto and Michelle Bertolini.
In the short video, during Here’s to You, Piero goes to kiss his mother, that day was Eleonora Barone’s birthday. 🎉🍾🥂🎂
Maestro Grani also published this photo with these words:
“I think back to the concert in Piazza San Marco, and I still feel a very intense emotion. I think it’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever played. And I think I’m very lucky. Thank you.”
But that’s not all, because the next day POOH performed in the same square, which you will surely remember well. POOH were guests of Il Volo last year in the Arena and Il Volo was their guest at the stadium.
Well POOH asked Il Volo to be their guests during the concert in Venice, they will sing two songs: PIERRE and UOMINI SOLI with them and the concert will be presented by Michelle Hunziker.

This concludes the adventure in Venice, now off to Val d’Aosta!!
It was certainly a spectacular concert which would certainly have been nice to attend, both to be able to applaud our golden boys again and again, but also for the beautiful location.
I watched the whole concert via web cam in the square, but of course there was no audio, but from the movements of our boys I could imagine their songs.
Outside the barriers of the square, many people had gathered to be able to listen in the distance and they always remained there until the end of the concert.
I read that the various “cafés” that have tables in the square asked for 120 euros to sit at a table where it was not possible to see the concert due to the barriers, but they could hear.
At the same time as me, Pat from Missouri and Kirsten from Denmark were also watching the webcam and exchanging impressions with me and once again we thought how much Il Volo and their music can unite and weave invisible threads from one extreme to the other.
In short, this time too everything went well, a great success, and a lot of satisfaction for our boys who are receiving wonderful reviews and a lot of warmth from the public.
