The week just gone by was also full of commitments and the presence of Il Volo and as always I proceed in order.

We knew that Il Volo was live on German television and announced that he was leaving the next day to come to the U.S. probably to promote their tour and also the new PBS special.

In fact, on December 2nd Il Volo spoke live on the television show DESPIERTA AMERICA, here is the video, unfortunately of poor quality.

I will translate for you in broad terms the most important things that were said:

After the presentation and initial greetings, the presenter wishes the kids Christmas greetings and asks for details of the new AD ASTRA international edition album.

Gianluca explains that it is a series of unreleased songs with the addition of some special songs such as IL GLADIATORE and then says that they will go on tour in the US. starting from March 2025.

The presenter remembers the first time he interviewed them on Despierta America and he says that they were really kids and Ignazio adds that they are now 30 years old and he just got married.

Then Piero explains their projects which will last 2 years, starting from the US tour. and then a tour of South America will follow in October

At the end of the interview they sang CAPOLAVORO!!

Of course they sponsored the new international version Ad Astra CD which I think you have all received by now.

I already have mine too and what about the last 5 songs added compared to the version of Ad Astra I already had? I’m enthusiastic about it, there are 5 songs that add great value to the set that I already liked!!

What can I say about the dedication made in memory of Barbara, it moved me! ❤️🙏

But then the new single TRA LE ONDE (Between the Waves) was also released.

“Hello everyone, we are Il Volo
Our new single TRA LE ONDE
It is available on all platforms.”

I liked it a lot, I liked the very meaningful words and it is certainly a radio song, but the problem is always that the radio is unlikely to play it.

It is certainly not the song whose musicality strikes you at first listening, but I must recognize the great work especially in the translated text that I propose to you.

Calm sky and full moon
And down here we are
Distracted passengers
Scattered dreams and muscles
Every day is a swing
Luckily you’re here
That forgive my mistakes
And you push me forward
And ahead of us
What is it?
Rain and clear
And the desire to lose
The heart in the waves, waves, waves
To feel the wind on your face
Without ever stopping laughing
Together in the waves, waves, waves
Life is like a stream
It passes beneath us
That we remain standing in the waves
Between barriers and high walls
Luckily you’re here
Teach me how to skip them
Or to fall and get back up
And ahead of us
What is it?
Rain and clear
And the desire to lose
The heart in the waves, waves, waves
To feel the wind on your face
Without ever stopping laughing
Together in the waves, waves, waves
Life is like a stream
It passes beneath us
That we remain standing
Between a destiny that brings us
To run, then change course
The sun ahead and my shadow next to yours
The heart in the waves, waves, waves
And don’t stop laughing
Together in the waves, waves, waves
Life is like a stream
It passes beneath us
That we remain standing in the waves

Il Volo also sent this beautiful message to the students of Florida Atlantic University.

Meanwhile here in Italy on Saturday 7 December on Canale 5 the repeat of the second concert at the Verona Arena this year was broadcast.

Needless to say, they achieved maximum audiences!!

From the whole concert I propose this beautiful song:
LA VITA. ❤️

The words of this song are truly splendid:

“Ah, life, what is more true in the world and we almost never realize it.”

“It is not possible to waste this life in vain.
Ah life, there is nothing more beautiful than life, and perhaps many people don’t know it.”

And we hope, given the current times, that many people realize that:
“there is nothing more beautiful in the world than life”

Meanwhile, the dates of the concerts to be held next year in Europe are increasing, here is the update:

Finally, on December 8th in Los Angeles there was Andrea Bocelli’s concert and among the numerous guests there was also Il Volo who sang THE GLADIATOR.

and then in a duet with Bocelli himself, they sang O SOLE MIO.

What an evening, fantastic, Bocelli has a very long high performance, but I think Il Volo also made a great impression!!

And here are some moments from the rehearsal evening and from backstage.

Rehearsals

With Zucchero Fornaciari!

With the actresses Katerine Kelly Lang and Ashley Aubra

With Pia Toscano she sang with Il Volo in the first PBS special  in 2012 🥰

I would say that even in these first 10 days of December there hasn’t been a moment of respite, every day there is new news that talks about them, our fantastic trio: IL VOLO!! ❤️❤️❤️

See you very soon: Daniela 🤗
