As I had already announced, the TIM MUSIC AWARDS took place live on September 13th in the Verona Arena.
The date of the event was given only recently and Il Volo was invited to collect a prize, but as it was the possible days of Ignazio’s wedding, it was thought that Il Volo would give up, and instead, despite the 12th being the wedding day civil of Ignazio and Michelle, Il Volo participated, even opened the event in the Arena, which was then broadcast on RAI 1.
Greetings from Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca and a short video of the interview with Radio Italia, where they talk about their tour in Japan.
Their rehearsals
And here they are, splendid and always excellent, they opened the television program which began directly with them on stage, they performed a medley composed of short moments of CAPOLAVORO, FRAMMENTI DELL’UNIVERSO and WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER, sensational!!!
The only ones who performed with a real orchestra behind them.
Dressed in a casual-elegant way, Piero, Gianluca and the new groom Ignazio gave a great performance.
At the end of the performance they were joined by the two presenters, Carlo Conti and Vanessa Incontrada who, after the usual greetings and questions, congratulated our young men.
Ignazio admits that it is the first event he has attended as a married man.
Ultimately they send a message of encouragement to young people to always pursue their dreams.
These days right after Ignazio’s wedding party, the weather in Italy was really bad, a lot of rain came for several days and there were also floods.
One of the first days of this weather instability brought a discharge of lightning to Abruzzo and one of these struck the bell tower of Montepagano, 😩 Gianluca’s town, causing damage, and this is why Gianluca made an appeal to the authorities responsible for the restoration work to begin soon.😍
Here’s the video, turn on the subtitles.
And now a nice interview in English from a Polish program.
In September this beautiful song was published, a truly unique duet, of great sweetness and with a great purpose, that of research against cancer.
She is the very sweet and talented Olivia Newton-John, who passed away two years ago. 🙏
A duet with Il Volo wasn’t in the cards, but with technology it could be done.
Let’s listen to this sweet song presented by her friend Jim Brickman.
MY DREAM
And also very sweet are the voices of Gianluca Ignazio and Piero who did not prevail but remained delicate, enhancing Olivia’s beautiful voice even more.
I bet you will struggle to recognize Piero’s non-lyrical voice.
Congratulations, it’s a beautiful and sweet duet. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
PEOPLE magazine talked about the song and its purpose.
Below is a link to Olivia’s Foundation Fund, Beyond Cancer – an independent charity sponsoring global research into plant medicine for cancer. In her video she explains her goal and the ongoing studies to treat cancer. There is a “Donate” button to make a secure donation to her foundation, if you so desire.
Once again we must bow to your projects like this splendid duet with humanitarian purposes, you are a force!
Even though your presence at the Tim Music Awards was quick, you were impeccable, bringing your skill and professionalism to people, because despite your personal commitments you did not miss the event.
But this too is archived and the European tour is getting closer and closer: first date LONDON!!! Good luck!!

This post was ready but since the video of Michelle’s promises was published and I promised to give you the translation immediately, I added it here at the bottom. Let me start by saying that Michelle speaks part of the speech in Spanish and I have read the automatic translation, but believe me it doesn’t make much sense, I don’t know Spanish, but as it is quite similar to Italian I try to give you a possible translation, so forgive me for any words not understood.
These words from Michelle are also very beautiful and with a lot of love. ❤️❤️
OFFICIANT= Recognize that love is about understanding, mutual respect and commitment.
Ignazio, do you want to receive Michelle as your bride, live together in union and love and support her, comfort her, respect her, in sickness and in health, in good days and in difficult ones, from today and for the rest of your life.
IGNAZIO= Yes I want it.
OFFICIANT= Michelle, do you want to receive Ignazio as your husband, live together in union and love, to support him and comfort him and respect him in sickness and in health, in good days and in difficult ones, from today and for the rest of your life?
MICHELLE= Yes I want it!
IGNAZIO= Thank goodness!
OFFICIANT= Now Ignazio and Michelle will express their personal promises, the fruit of their love and dedication. Michelle, I’ll turn the floor over to you.
MICHELLE= (she begins the speech in Spanish, I translate the first part as far as I understand, I hope it is correct).
My love, the moment I’ve been waiting for has come, now I can tell you. You don’t know the happiness and pride I have for you who are the love of my life. From the first time I saw you I had no doubt that you were the perfect man that you are and I have no doubt that you will be a good husband and dad. I can’t wait for my love to turn you into a dad. With you I learned that love exists, that it exists and it is so beautiful and exciting every day of life to fall more and more in love, to grow together caring about every detail. It’s a love that I could never imagine but it exists and I want to live it all my life.
(Now she continues in Italian)
I wanted to say thank you to my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, from the first day they made me feel at home and I feel very lucky that you are my family and I am sure that my father-in-law is happy for us and will always protect us from above. (Ignazio wipes away a tear)
My prince, I promise you my faithfulness and loyalty, I promise to love you and make you feel loved every day of my life, that I will take care of you and that I will do my best as a wife, hopefully soon as a mother and for our families. I will always be close to you, my love, and I promise you that there will not be a day in which you will miss a kiss from me. I love you with all of myself, love of my life. (She continues again in Spanish) I love you beyond words, beyond the physical, beyond time and space, I simply love you, above everything in this world!
It’s so, it’s true, Ignazio and Michelle got married! ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🥂🥂
The first signs that the date was very close were given by the video of Michelle trying on wedding dresses which I have already forwarded to you.
The next day Michelle published the photo to show that the dress had been picked up and therefore the date immediately seemed more imminent.
The same evening, a family dinner took place with many beautiful photos that suggested a nice “stag/hen party”. Here they are.
Ignazio and Michelle with Michelle’s family and Caterina Boschetto 🥰
Michelle with Caterina and Nina Boschetto😍😍😍
Michelle with her father 😍😍
And the two of them, splendid lovers: Ignazio and Michelle (the King crowns his Queen) ❤️❤️
How much love hovers in the air, Ignazio has finally found his happiness.
“One of the best feelings in the world is to feel happy about the happiness of the people we love!”
IGNAZIO AND MICHELLE GOT MARRIED. ❤️❤️
It’s September 12th, this morning in San Lazzaro di Savena, the municipality in the province of Bologna where Ignazio lives.
The wedding was officiated by the mayor of San Lazzaro di Savena with a civil ceremony.
The guests were few and intimate, the bride and groom were beautiful and radiant with happiness. 😍😍
The fateful moment of YES, while Ignazio and Michelle hold their hands together.
MAYOR= Do you, Mr. Ignazio Boschetto, intend to take Michelle Marie Bertolini here as your wife?
IGNAZIO= YES, a very sweet and sentimental yes, as he turns his gaze to Michelle, but then Ignazio, for fear of not having been heard by the others present, tells the mayor to wait a moment, clears his throat and repeats in a loud voice YES!! Everyone laughs, including Michelle, and Ignazio turns and asks: “Is it understood?” ❤️😂😍😍
MAYOR= Do you, Ms. Michelle Marie Bertolini, intend to marry Ignazio Boschetto here?
MICHELLE = Out loud turning towards Ignazio: YES (laughter)
MAYOR= Very clear, her too!
Following your affirmative answers, I, Marilena Pillati, mayor and civil status officer of the municipality of San Lazzaro di Savena, in the name of the law I declare that Mr. Ignazio Boschetto and Ms. Michelle Marie Bertolini are united in marriage. (final kiss) ❤️❤️
But how cute are they in these black and white shots: Ignazio Michelle ….. and Arturo?? 😍😍 …… 🐶🐶🐶
And here we are on Saturday 14 September, the day of the wedding party and the exchange of promises and wedding rings.
In the afternoon we discover from the first rumors that the party will be on Lake Como, in the beautiful Villa Sola Calbiati!!
The arrival of the bride’s dress 😍
Beautiful Michelle 😍
The bride wears a beautiful dress by Tosca Spose, elegant but also simple, a tight bodice with a neckline that leaves the shoulders uncovered and with a crisscrossing of the fabric on the chest.
The skirt in vaporous fabric falls softly from the bust, widening widely at the bottom. A beautiful long veil with a high lace edge is closed over a crown of silver flowers resting on hair simply left long.
Everything is very elegant and our Michelle is simply gorgeous! ❤️
The look of dad Enrico as he sees Michelle in a wedding dress for the first time.
The most important and emotional moment:
The arrival of the groom, accompanied by mother Caterina and sister Nina.
There is a lot of elegance!
As Ignazio passes by Gianluca , Piero and Torpedine exclaims: “Are you here too?? No??” 😍😂😍
The usual joker Ignazio never proves himself wrong!
Ignazio is also very elegant in his blue double-breasted suit with shiny lapels, white shirt and bow tie.
Truly remarkable! ❤️
And now the bride, accompanied by her father, goes down the stairs and the long walkway, two sweet and beautiful children (two small children of Michelle’s relatives) open the arrival by scattering flower petals. 😍😍
It was difficult for me to write this, because I had already expressed to you everything I felt and everything I imagined at Christmas, when I proposed to you.
For me it was always such an important step……that was you, and so I wrote a sort of poem and the title goes like this:
TO MY WIFE Our story is unique, one of those stories you see in films, or that are told to children. It all started from a look, a look so intense and profound that I fell into it and in the end I never got out.
From the moment we saw each other in November, I knew it was you, I had my wife in front of me.
After a week I gave you the keys to the house, after twenty days I met your family, after a month and a half I asked you to marry me and after less than eleven months I married you.
We are two crazy people, it’s true! Sorry Enrico (Michelle’s dad).
But as I told you last Christmas, for you there is no perfect time, there is only “our time”, you and I together, from the best moments to the worst, and I discovered it little by little, together we grew a lot in a short time, trying to be the best and for our future family. Thanks to you today I feel like a better man, worthy and ready to take care of my family. And it is with you that I want to experience everything one hopes for in the family, it is with you that I want to cry and I want to laugh, it is with you that I want to wake up every morning, it is with you that I want to experience the privilege of being a father. (Ignazio is moved) I can’t explain to you in words what I feel inside, what happens to me when you take my hand and when you hug me, or when I see you sitting at a concert and we send each other kisses, or when I wake up and see you by my side every morning.
But I have the certainty that I want it for my whole life, I can’t do without it, they say it’s love, and that it’s all contained in one word: I LOVE YOU, but a bookcase full of empty books wouldn’t be enough to write to you many times. I love as much as I truly LOVE YOU.
It would be obvious to say I will take care of you, in joy and in pain, until death do us part, but I want to tell you that you are my life, that I will give you everything you have never had and maybe even then you wouldn’t know how wonderful it is to love you. Forever together, I LOVE YOU! ❤️
Michelle’s vows moment
.
Also in this video made by the stylist Tosca Spose and her husband (comedian). They are saying that Ignazio and Michelle are very much in love!!
I would like to recount this wonderful day through my eyes.
I saw two souls in love, looks that spoke of a love that is pure and authentic. I have seen hearts that still retain the simplicity and purity of a child, enclosed in bodies of adults. I have seen the happiness of those who have found true love, that feeling that knows no time, rules or boundaries, without too many thoughts or reasoning, but only follows the heartbeat, free and wild.
I wish to scream to the world how much I love you, because in the end, besides affection, what really unites us are the shared experiences, the moments that touch us deeply, between joys and challenges of life. These are the moments that shape a relationship and make it unbreakable. Even the most distant characters, if united in sharing everything, learn to sail together in the turbulent waters of existence, creating a unique and unbreakable bond. And this is exactly what binds me, you and Piero more than anything else.
And to you, Michelle, for being a real, good, pure, sincere, clear person, I can say that if it’s true that the people we choose reflect our soul, then you perfectly embody the inner beauty of the man you chose to love.
With deep and sincere affection, Gianluca
And also together with Michele Torpedine and Eliana Dalila Biondi, who has been part of the management for several years.

Some moments from wedding lunch
Mother Caterina’s moving speech
CATERINA= …..and you have always been a shoulder to laugh and cry on, not only as a son, but for me you are a son and a great friend on whom I can always count. Sometimes I’m heavy, I admit it….
IGNAZIO= Sometimes?? Sometimes??? (laughter)😂😂
NINA= …always….
CATERINA= I beg your pardon, perhaps I’m wrong because I love you too much. I want you to know that I am the happiest mom in the universe, not in the world, in the universe! Seeing you serene and so much in love with a wonderful woman, and I am sure that as the wonderful and attentive son that you are, you will also be as a husband and as a father.
Michelle my love, from the moment that day I opened the door to the house….. (Caterina is very moved)
IGNAZIO= Oxygen…!!! 😂
CATERINA= ……and I saw you, something clicked inside me. You brought to our home the serenity and joy that was missing for a long time, you know why. As I said before, you are wonderful, you are the woman I dreamed of being next to my son and the mother of my future grandchildren. Know that you are the third child for me. Dad and I wish you a future full of love, happiness and lots of serenity together. I love you!!❤️
It was 1994 when I saw your eyes for the first time.
It was love at first sight, I who wanted you so much, it was the most beautiful day of my life.
I can’t explain in words how much I love you, but you have made my life unique and full of love.
Big brother, (saying “big” shows her affection for Ignazio) you and I have been through a lot in life, good things and bad things, but our strength has always been to never give up and always fight. You are a clear, good, generous person and ready to worry about making the people you love feel good, sometimes without thinking about your own feeling good. You know, I always tell you that I hope one day to find someone who is a carbon copy of you, or who looks like you, but I already know that it will be difficult. Of course you too have your flaws, but you are the brother, friend, confidant that anyone would like to have. We have such a strong bond that we don’t need to talk because we immediately understand if everything is fine or if there is something wrong.
Sister-in-law, I don’t know which angel brought you into my brother’s life and into our life. From the first day I saw you I immediately understood the person you are, and I said to myself: “But how is it possible that they are the same?” You are a woman with a capital D (donna=woman in Italian).
You know what you want too and you always think about making the people you love feel good. You are kind, good, delicate and full of life and I want to thank you because you brought joy, serenity and happiness into our family that we no longer had for a few years. To me you are not only my little sister-in-law, but you have become my little sister.
Obviously I have to thank both of you, who take care of me and my mother but above all thanks to both of you because you changed my life, you made me reborn for the second time, you know why.
(Nina dedicates a song to the spouses, Ignazio is visibly moved)
Now I would like all of you to raise your glass in the air to toast Igni and Michelle, to their love, wishing them to always be happy, joyful, serene and to live this long journey side by side, loving and respecting each other and I am convinced that even the people dear to us who are not here today next to us and among us will be toasting to your happiness. WISHES, I LOVE YOU!! ❤️

A beautiful wedding party sealed the love between Ignazio and Michelle.
It was like a fairy tale and in this beautiful fairy tale we see a king, an Ignazio shining with love towards his queen, Michelle who reciprocates with equal love.
May the future life bring you much happiness, the love is already there, but may it last over the years and may all the difficulties of life be overcome by your splendid union.
Best wishes to the splendid newlyweds, best wishes from the bottom of our hearts to IGNAZIO and MICHELLE!! ❤️❤️
