How wonderful, the guys seem more relaxed, the songs of this little private concert are beautiful.
And how wonderful to see the hugs between our kids, how much tenderness. 😍😍😍
This clashes with what the Italian newspapers are publishing on Il Volo relating to an alleged live radio argument between Piero and Gianluca, a video that I have already published here too, immediately telling you that it was nothing important, a simple exchange of opinions as often happens between brothers but which does not cause their affection to collapse.
Here I propose the video again, which moreover was taken from a much longer interview.
Our “dear” journalists took the cue to write that Il Volo is arguing, is separating and I must say that many fans also believed this.
Yesterday I counted 35 different newspapers that had headlines about this dispute, 🤬🤬🤬 and so Stefano Fisico, the one who was interviewing them in the video and also a great friend of our boys, published this video.
(The headline under his picture says): YOU MAKE ME LAUGH
STEFANO= So guys, I tend to be someone who laughs about everything, because we also need to be light-hearted, especially in the things we deal with, dealing with music and football not only at the highest levels.
I was told…..how sad….two articles from two newspapers which hypothesized a controversy between Gianluca and Piero from Il Volo, during an interview I did with them last week on Radio Number One.
If you watch the entire interview we did, don’t look for the controversy and the clicks that make me laugh, but sign your name, so at least you put your face in the bullshit you write. 👏👏👏
But even this did not stop the journalists and the newspapers went from two to 35.
So yesterday Alvise Salerno, DJ and host of Radio Number One, published this video:
Il Volo argued on the air on Radio Number One. What a stupid joke.
Piero and Gianluca from Il Volo argue on Radio Number One… I woke up this morning and I was doing my research, because now I’m going to the radio to do my program on Radio Number One, coincidentally, and I read on Repubblica, Il Messaggero (headlines of Italian newspapers) and I don’t know about other newspapers, but in Repubblica and Il Messaggero I read this news which concerned Il Volo, which concerned Piero and Gianluca who were guests on our track the week of Sanremo.
My first reaction when I read it was, “what’s going on?”
The second reaction was to write a comment on both the Il Messaggero and Repubblica pages saying that you are ridiculous!! Because objectively they are ridiculous. The news is false. From any point of view the boys have never argued, among other things the full video of this thing that they filmed can be found right here on the Radio Number One profile on Tik Tok, therefore easily available, extremely easy to find. Clearly and obviously I will say it on the radio now, that they were false, that they wrote something stupid, that nothing is true, the boys never argued, they were laughing and joking with each other as they have always done for years and the thing that I’m so sorry, do you know what it is? That in the case of both Il Messaggero and La Repubblica there are no names, it is written by the editorial and entertainment staff, so the director of my radio station cannot even call those directly involved (responsible for the two newspapers) and it really makes me laugh at this thing and I’d like to talk to the author of this…. what can we call it? Well…a joke?? Yes, I would call it a joke in bad taste….but I can’t do it, so amen!!
And with this, I close the topic and I hope I have allayed all your fears. I listened to the entire interview and Piero and Gianluca laugh and at the end Piero reiterates to Stefano that there is love and respect between the three of them and Stefano confirms. 😉
Instead now I want to offer you this little video clip where our boys say their opinions on some topics.
THE FIRST PERFORMANCE IN SANREMO 2024
GIANLUCA= We shared a unique moment singing that song on stage. Only we can truly understand how it feels. We look at each other and with a look of complicity we understand each other deeply. And this is important. ❤️
CAPOLAVORO
GIANLUCA= We return with the presentation of a song that today represents a bit of our individual personalities that give this song this strength.
PIERO= We are proud of our song, because today Capolavoro talks about a feeling told in a different age. We are thirty years old and our feelings clearly change and mature for each of us.
THE EXPECTATIONS OF SANREMO
IGNAZIO= Let’s say that Sanremo is not an easy week and certainly many people have expectations of artists and we promised ourselves one thing, not to have expectations, to participate in this Sanremo with a smile and with the desire to celebrate 15 years and send this message of unity.
LISTEN TO EACH OTHER AND LOVE EACH OTHER
GIANLUCA= Perhaps to try to build healthy relationships we need to put aside egocentrism and presumption, be willing to listen, so it is the only way in working relationships, but also in relational ones and then ours is truly a marriage if so you can call it right? Then we love each other, I think this is the main thing, there is a boundless affection. ❤️
BEL CANTO IN THE WORLD
IGNAZIO= Bel canto is a genre that certainly attracts the attention of an audience that is more foreign than Italian. They have a different attention to this genre which has chosen us a bit, it wasn’t us who chose it, because since we were little we have always sung bel canto and this song from Sanremo, Capolavoro, we think will be a perfect bridge for the record that will be released soon, a record of unreleased songs, it will be completely different where people can hear our three different personalities.
PIERO= And then to follow a world tour, we will start from China, Japan and directly from Japan we will land at the Verona Arena. After Italy a world tour will follow, United States, Australia, South America. 👏👏👏
The speeches end by talking about the bomb scare that occurred the evening before Sanremo during all the singers’ dinner. Il Volo had just left the area and shortly afterwards everything was evacuated due to the alarm, luckily it was just a false alarm.😱
And now this other short video by Radio Italia.
IS THREE THE PERFECT NUMBER?
The boys’ answer is yes, that is, they very much agree.
Woman= In my opinion three is a lot.
Gianluca= So the three of us, would we be many?
Woman= But because I don’t get along with two people, I can’t.
Piero= Three is the perfect number for only one reason, because there is always a majority.
Ignazio= We are lucky enough to have mutual respect.
Woman= And are there any reasons for the argument? Do you argue?
Ignazio= Always, but thank goodness.
Gianluca= Of course, but paradoxically when it comes to music, because we are totally different. We invite you to spend a day on tour with us.
Woman= Oh god, that’s so cool, I would do it. 🤪
And now a look backstage at their official video for Capolavoro.
And this is good news, although we hope that every week it gets better and better.
Capolavoro by Il Volo was the highest new entry in the airplay chart: position 43. The song, competing in Sanremo 2024, was in 107th place last week.
Here is the link to the earone Facebook post if you would like to make a comment. Click on the photo below to take you there.
And finally a video of the reaction to the first listening to Capolavoro with English subtitles!!
Another video reaction to Capolavoro. (this one you’ll have to activate the English subtites)
Here is a unique version of Capolavoro with the orchestra removed so the guys’ voices are ‘acapella’.
And this time too I hope I have given you interesting news, but I’ll tell you straight away that next time we’ll only talk about our two lovers: Ignazio and Michelle!!❤️❤️
Here I am again with the updates, and I must say that every day, every moment there are things to read and see, so I hope you don’t miss anything!!
I’ll start with what Il Volo said about Capolavoro, interviewed by the weekly magazine OGGI.
GIANLUCA= Capolavoro also tells a little about our lives and how we experience these strong feelings that sometimes overwhelm us. It also speaks to our artistic growth, above all.
PIERO= The description of the lyrics talks about that feeling that is innate inside you, without you knowing it and the moment comes when you need to express it.
IGNAZIO= We definitely returned to Sanremo to celebrate 15 years together and send this message of union, that nowadays, it’s not easy to spend 15 years together, and then because Sanremo, we were born on the Sanremo stage in 2009, so what better way to celebrate 15 years.
Luca Maggitti, who we remember writes on Roseto.com, published this beautiful message:
GOOD LUCK FOR THE SANREMO FESTIVAL, GIANLUCA GINOBLE.
A few days ago, in Roseto degli Abruzzi, I saw Gianluca Ginoble again, walking on the seaside together with his beloved Grandfather Ernesto.
We drank a coffee and had a threesome chat, mentioning several times the ideal fourth at the table: Ernesto Junior, Gianluca’s younger brother.
Sanremo is approaching and Gianluca will return to the competition at the Festival dei Fiori (so it is said of the Sanremo Festival), with Il Volo.
This will be the third participation, after the debut with victory in 2015 (65th edition, singing “Grande amore”) and the third place in 2019 (69th edition, singing “Musica che resta”).
The song that the trio will present is entitled “Capolavoro”. My best wishes to Gianluca Ginoble and Il Volo, remembering the emotions of the 2015 victory – when he turned 20 exactly on the day of his debut as a contestant at the Festival.
Many interviews or articles are being published in various newspapers, some are just “copies and pastes” of others, or they don’t say anything new, but this one from IL MESSAGGERO reveals some beautiful responses from our young men.
Il Volo in Sanremo: “Snobbery towards us, but we also do pranks. Now forget the good guys.”
The more rock look, an album of unreleased songs, the desire to change the image a bit. Il Volo speaks, in Sanremo with “Capolavoro”: We will sing a pop ballad.
They now prefer tank tops and leather jackets to “plastered” suits: for the “restyling” they called in the same stylist as Maneskin, Achille Lauro and Paola and Chiara (all Italian singers), Nick Cerioni.
The objective? To refresh a bit that image of an adolescent pop version of the historic trio Placido Domingo, José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti that had characterized the trio until today.
An evolution that goes hand in hand with the musical turning point represented by CAPOLAVORO, the song that they will present in competition at the Sanremo Festival from 6 to 10 February, 15 years after the debut of “Ti Lascio Una Canzone”, the baby talent show that lim launched in 2009, hosted by Antonella Clerici, nine years after winning the event with Grande Amore and five years after third place with Musica che Resta. Piero Barone 30 years old, Ignazio Boschetto 29 and Gianluca Ginoble 28, aka Il Volo, have a mission: “At Ariston we want to show that we are not just “three tenors”, but singers each with a well-defined personality”.
WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE IL VOLO HOUSE?
Nothing special, let’s clarify straight away. Simply, until today we had a unique identity: all three of us sang more or less the same way. When we started singing together we were children and we have always carried on like this. Now, however, we are going for thirty years. And we have different vocals. We value them more.
WASN’T IT EASIER TO BREAK UP THE GROUP?
And why? We never thought so. We are an example. In an era where individualism dominates, we celebrate the strength of being a team.
SO WHAT WILL YOU DO IN PRACTICE? WILL YOU DIVIDE THE PIECES TO SING?
No, the opposite. The challenge was to keep the group cohesive, while trying to get the three vocals to come. When the public listens to CAPOLAVORO, they will understand that it represents a bridge between our past and our future.
It’s a pop ballad to dedicate to someone you love and which can appeal to both girls and mothers.
We demonstrate that beyond the “three little tenors” there is more. It’s no coincidence that we wanted to record an album of unreleased songs, the first in our fifteen-year career. It will be released in the spring.
WHO DID YOU WORK WITH?
A masterpiece was arranged by Federico Nardelli, already alongside Gazzelle, Colapesce Dimartino (Italian singers). Today, the more you sing, the older you are, the less you sing, the more modern you are. Our goal is to make the singing contemporary.
“THERE IS A LOT OF SNOBBISM TOWARDS US, THE RADIO DOESN’T PLAY OUR PIECES EVEN WITH THE GUN TO THE TEMPLE” YOU SAID. THE REASON?
We didn’t say it. Often in the titles of the interviews the hand is forced a little. We are calm. IF you make a tribute album to Morricone, can you think about aiming for high rotation? (they mean that if you make a tribute album to Morricone, you certainly don’t expect to be listened to much in streaming by young people).
SO THERE HAS NEVER BEEN SNOBBISM ON THE PART OF THE EMPLOYEES TOWARDS IL VOLO?
There was some snobbery, we don’t deny it. But we left it all behind. We believe that when you drive, you should look at the road ahead and not at the rearview mirror.
WHAT RELATIONSHIP DO YOU HAVE WITH THE CRITICS?
Good. You can’t please everyone. Patience.
WOULD YOU DO A DANCE PIECE?
Bob Sinclair style? (he’s a disc jockey)
No, we would be aping something we are not.
A REGGAETON? Ask Maluma (Latin music superstar) to sing a song from Il Volo.
“WE ARE THE CHILDREN THAT EVERYONE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE”, YOU SAID. THOSE WHO HAVE EARLY SUCCESS OFTEN END UP. YOU?
We didn’t say this either: every now and then journalists want to give us the image of good guys.
AND INSTEAD? If you come on tour with us, you go home pale. (they laugh)
REALLY? It’s to say that we have done and done our nonsense, but we are responsible. We owe it to the 50 people who work with us on tour. Those who give in are because they have emotional voids that they must fill in some way. We are solved. (i.e. responsible and with strong convictions)
Even our very nice Fiorello makes fun of the title of the newspaper IL MESSAGGERO because reading only the title, it seems that our boys will become bad boys. 😱😱😂😂
He also remembers that every time he meets Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, they all sing the song TIRICHITOLLA together!! 😂😂😂
I remind you that Fiorello will participate as co-host in Sanremo on the final evening.
And here are our young men in Sanremo, arriving for rehearsals.
And here in the photo with Leonardo Metalli, RAI1 special correspondent and editor-in-chief.
And what about the beautiful image posted by Stef Burns, the guitarist who will perform with Il Volo? 😱😂😂
For those who don’t recognize it, this image is an icon, because it is the cover of a Beatles album: Abbey Road, and it is them who cross the road.
The single CAPOLAVORO is already in pre-order and the Il Volo staff communicates that it can already be ordered.
And here is the newspaperSORRISI E CANZONI TV,what can I say, a nice cast.
And how beautiful is this version by @la_frami_art .
As promised, SORRISI E CANZONI TV, has published the lyrics of the songs.
Ladies and gentlemen, here you are:
CAPOLAVORO
Io seduto all’interno di un cinema Sognare un po’ l’America e un po’ la propria casa E mi chiedo sempre quanto durerà Questo amore infinito che infinito non è Mi sentivo perso Una vela in mare aperto E all’improvviso tu, tu Caduta dal cielo come un capolavoro Prima di te non c’era niente di buono Come se Eri l’unica luce ad avere un senso E questa vita con te È un capolavoro Guarda come piove Ma è meraviglioso averti qui Maledetto tempo che ti concede E poi ti porta via Mi sentivo perso Come un fiore nel deserto E all’improvviso arrivi tu, tu Caduta dal cielo come un capolavoro Prima di te non c’era niente di buono Come se Eri l’unica luce ad avere un senso E questa vita con te È un capolavoro
Caduta dal cielo come un capolavoro Prima di te non c’era niente di buono Come se Eri l’unica luce ad avere un senso E questa vita con te Sì, la mia vita con te È un capolavoro.
MASTERPIECE
Me sitting inside a cinema To dream a little of America and a little of your home And I always wonder how long it will last This infinite love that is not infinite I felt lost A sail on the open sea And suddenly you, you Fall from the sky like a masterpiece Before you there was nothing good As if You were the only light to make sense And this life with you It’s a masterpiece Look how it’s raining But it’s wonderful to have you here Damn time he gives you And then it takes you away I felt lost Like a flower in the desert And suddenly you arrive, you Fall from the sky like a masterpiece Before you there was nothing good As if You were the only light to make sense And this life with you It’s a masterpiece
Fall from the sky like a masterpiece Before you there was nothing good As if You were the only light to make sense And this life with you Yes, my life with you It’s a masterpiece.
And as you can read from the names of the authors, in the editions there is also the name of Ernesto Ginoble……congratulations Ernesto!!
And this is the article dedicated by SORRISI E CANZONI TV to Il Volo.
UNIVERSAL LOVE IN MUSIC
After a victory (in 2015) and a third place (in 2019), Il Volo returns to the Festival.
“We have a lot to tell”, explains Gianluca Ginoble “and the Sanremo stage, which saw us born 15 years ago, is the best place to do it.”
Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto met very young, right at the Ariston in the program “Ti lascio una canzone” in 2009: Il Volo was born on that occasion. “In such an individualistic period,” continues Piero “still being together after so many years, being a team player, listening to and respecting those around you is a great achievement and a great professional message, and not only that. I think it’s a sign of maturity.”
The trio has ready its first album of unreleased songs: “It’s a great opportunity to be able to present the new project on that stage,” adds Ignazio.
The song they are bringing to the competition CAPOLAVORO, “It talks about a universal love, about that feeling that grows inside each of us without knowing it. And then the moment comes when you want to shout it to the world. At the first listen you already know who you would like to dedicate it to,” says Piero.
“It’s an overwhelming and emotional piece,” adds Gianluca. The watchword of this Festival?
“Let’s have fun! Let’s enjoy this Sanremo with a smile,” concludes Ignazio.
CURIOSITY In his suitcase for Sanremo Gianluca will bring a book “The Baron in the Trees” by Calvino, Piero his shoes for running, Ignazio his computer. 😁😁😁
And now we listen to what our loved ones tell us. 😉
IGNAZIO= Hello everyone, we are Il Volo.
PIERO= Get ready with us for Sanremo 2024.
GIANLUCA= Listen to our playlist.
…………and in this nice game from Radio Italia where all the singers are asked what they would ask Amadeus before starting Sanremo and here is the answer from Il Volo. 😂😂😂
PIERO= Who gave you our phone number to invite us to Sanremo?
IGNAZIO= Good question!
GIANLUCA= Ama (Amadeus) sorry.
And now a look at the beautiful couple Ignazio/Michelle who sends us these sweet shots.
I don’t know about you, but I’m more and more excited, the adrenaline is rising, I can’t wait to hear them!!!
See you soon!
Daniela 🤗
