As I told you, there is no rest for our three guys, we left them in Bucharest and immediately after they ran home to Italy, to Turin for a beautiful performance, among many other singers, in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, as part of the feast of San Giovanni.
The participation of the public was incredible, as you can see from the photo below.
It’s a really hot Italian summer and these events in the square attract a lot of people, especially a lot of young people, so I’m very happy when Il Volo joins in on this type of performance, moreover the event was performed live on June 24th, but Mediaset, in particular Canale 5 broadcast it on June 29th.
Here is the moment of Il Volo.
Il Volo sang three songs:
CAPOLAVORO GRANDE AMORE NESSUN DORMA
I start by attaching the two videos from Canale 5, I hope that most of you can see them because they are of excellent quality. The presenter of the evening is Gerry Scotti who introduced Il Volo with beautiful words that I propose to you immediately.
G.SCOTTI= The next ones are artists ambassadors of Italian music in the world.
They are much loved artists with crystalline talent. They are at home on Canale 5, also because they rarely see their real home because they are always around the world with their fantastic concerts, but tonight they are here with us, with you: Il Volo!
(At the end of Grande Amore Gerry Scotti enters the stage and sings with Il Volo. The audience singing with our guys is incredible)
G.SCOTTI= We are about to listen to a timeless masterpiece of Italian opera, and the reason why in introducing you I literally defined you “the youngest ambassadors of Italian music in the world”.
By now you have the success you deserve and the applause of this square is yet another demonstration because I followed your shows on television and you already knew it.
PIERO= Thanks Gerry.
G.SCOTTI= So, the three microphone stands are already positioned, everything is ready, please gentlemen (to the guys) I will make an official introduction: Ladies and gentlemen, it is the first time I make an introduction with this voice, from Turandot by Giacomo Puccini Il Volo sings NESSUN DORMA.
And for those who can’t watch the Canale 5 videos, here is the video of Capolavoro and Grande Amore and Nessun Dorma published by Il Volo en Clase, which we thank.
Towards the end of the evening, a young dancer, Francesco, also performed on stage, performing his dance to the music of WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER sung by Il Volo, so that this song was also heard by the audience.
A series of beautiful photos.
The newspapers talked about the Turin event. I’ll translate for you what they wrote about Il Volo in the DILEI newspaper.
Il Volo, Nessun Dorma, thrilling. Rating 9 They have toured the world with their voices, but seeing them on an Italian stage always has a special charm. The guys from Il Volo arrive in perfectly coordinated black suits, sobriety and class in every detail. They sing with pathos, passion, impeccable technique. They thrill and warm the soul, so much so that Gerry Scotti can’t resist and goes up on stage to join them. But the highlight is Nessun Dorma: a textbook performance, powerful, vibrant, that makes more than one person in the square’s legs tremble. Il Volo confirms itself as the perfect bridge between opera and pop, and on an evening like this they know how to be the absolute protagonists without overdoing it.
But there is still more to see, because on June 26 Il Volo participates in an event on Lake Como, and precisely at Villa d’Este. Nothing has leaked about the evening, Villa d’Este published this press release the following day:
“What can we say about last night? The anniversary of our 150 seasons of emotions deserved to be celebrated with such style and joy! Many thanks to ALL our Guests (not only those who joined yesterday’s celebrations) and to our wonderful staff who made this fairy tale come true.”
(The photo attached to the press release was not taken during the evening but at the same event in which Il Volo participated a couple of years ago.)
Instead our guys sent us these photos taken in the beautiful gardens of Villa d’Este.
But the month of June is not over yet and so from Lake Como, off to Naples on June 28th, and exactly in the beautiful gulf of Sorrento, to the luxurious and exclusive Maya Beach Experience for a private event, of which I can offer you these video fragments.
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 beautiful shots of the bride and groom.

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!! ❤️

Ignazio and Michele Torpedine 🤩🤩
Torpedine and Piero 🤩
Gianluca and Torpedine 🤩🤩 It’s starting to get cold.
Gianluca and Claudia 😍😍
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!! ❤️❤️
The tour continues, the stop is on Lake Como, exactly in Cernobbio in the beautiful Villa Erba.
26 July CERNOBBIO
Start of the concert and NELLE TUE MANI, I know I have already played this song many times, but it is so beautiful that I never get tired of listening to it.
The next video is SE, and I wanted to post it because there’s all the speech before the song that’s really funny and so I had to translate it for you.
PIERO= Marriage is already difficult for two, imagine yourself as three, and there is no lover, we are three spouses next to each other and we live on meeting points, I decide one thing, you decide one thing , vice versa….
IGNAZIO= The important thing is to find the right position! (laughs)😂😂
PIERO= When it comes to choosing the set list of songs for a concert, there are those who like to sing some songs and those who don’t…
GIANLUCA= For a reason, explain why.🤔
PIERO= …..one minute, I conclude, SUCCEDE, it’s a song that I don’t hear very much, because the two of them sing it, they are lost in love, they crashed right into a pole, and they want to sing it at all the concerts to dedicate ….
IGNAZIO= It’s because we believe in the power of love, do you understand?😍😍
PIERO= This hasn’t happened to me yet!
IGNAZIO= Look, if it happened to Gianluca, it can happen to you too! (laughs)
PIERO= Have you understood? I make a choice on the songs, Morricone etc…..they on feeling, love….
IGNAZIO= Of course!!
PIERO= And so I, do you know when they take you to a meeting as a friend and you have to act as a “poster”? I am the “pole” with them in this song. 😁😁😁
IGNAZIO= But no, actually you should see it the other way around, you should think: “Shit, I’m a loser but I sing.” (laughter) 😂😂
PIERO= So there is a lot of hypocrisy while I sing it… do you understand why?? (the last words are spoken in Sicilian)
GIANLUCA= Cernobbio, province of Palermo. 😂😂
PIERO= However, in 2021 we released an entire album by maestro Ennio Morricone…..(at this point the video resumes while the boys sing SE and Ignazio tries to make it up to Piero, definitely laughable) 😂😂😂
Le Serre Music Festival, which took care of the location, published these beautiful words:
“All for IL VOLO… IL VOLO for all! 🌟
The incredible voices of Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca enveloped the Villa Erba audience in a daydream .”
This photo video published by Project-Photo is very beautiful.
It is the first time that Il Volo performs in Umbria, another beautiful Italian region. Marsciano is a town in the province of Perugia, the “Music for the villages” event takes place here.
Unfortunately the few video do not have a very good resolution.
Il Volo captures 4 thousand spectators in Marsciano with Musica per i Borghi
The trio of singers performed an emotional concert.
Marsciano, a small town in Umbria, hosted a very successful musical event on July 28th. The final Musica per i Borghi concert attracted an audience of 4 thousand people to the ‘Alberto Checcarini’ municipal stadium. The trio of singers known as Il Volo, composed of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, performed an exciting concert, accompanied by a large orchestra.
Il Volo presented the repertoire that made them famous during their 15-year career, offering the public evocative and emotion-rich performances. The event was a great success among the organizers and the municipal administration of Marsciano, who expressed their satisfaction at having brought artists of national caliber to their city.
The mayor of Marsciano, Michele Moretti, praised the Musica per i Borghi festival for bringing music and artists to the area. He underlined the importance of events like this for the valorization of the city beyond its territorial borders.
Francesco Narducci, president of the Musica per i Borghi association, expressed pride in the progress of the festival, which saw the participation of top-level artists. He also announced that the organization is already working to prepare a next edition that lives up to expectations.
The director of the festival, Valter Pescatori, underlined how the final evening of Musica per i Borghi is always a very important event in the Umbrian summer. This year, with the Il Volo concert, the stadium was packed in every row of seats.
And finally, on 29 July in Sirolo, a municipality in the Marche region, there was an event which saw Tipografia Flamini receive the nomination of Ambassador of Kindness Company with this motivation:
”For the sensitivity and support of social projects that benefit the local and national territory.”
The award was presented to 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗮 𝗚𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲, our Ambassador of Kindness.
Many compliments to Gianluca, our kind ambassador, still many nice recognitions for the Il Volo tour which is proving to be much appreciated.
There are three concerts left before the 2-week stop for our boys, concerts which I will give you a review of when I return from Sicily, where I am heading for a week.
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 !!
