There is always some news and something to write about Il Volo and so I will update you with the latest news.

A nice audio interview has been published by THE NEW CLASSICAL RADIO, a station that is part of Zoomer Radio and broadcasts from Canada. Host Mark Wigmore talks to Piero, Gianluca (from Milano) and Ignazio (from Venezuela), but you can listen to everything because the interview is in English!!

At the beginning Mark immediately mispronounces the names of Gianluca and Ignazio! 😁😁

Meanwhile Il Volo has published three concert dates in Germany and ticket sales are already active.

16 OCTOBER = DÜSSELDORF

17 OCTOBER = BERLIN

19 OCTOBER = FRANKFURT

Barbara Vitali also posted this nice announcement:

We are happy that this beautiful special can be seen in Brazil!

Another piece of good news:

ITALIAN OPERA SINGING is officially on the list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity: the proclamation took place on the occasion of the 18th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO in Botswana.

A beautiful result that confirms how important our opera tradition is, a tradition which unfortunately is now greatly underestimated here in Italy if not even relegated to a few enthusiasts.

The most popular Italian music has nothing to do with opera nor with bel canto and little with pop.

You will surely have known that the Il Volo Christmas EP, which contains 4 Christmas songs, was put on sale in red vinyl format and signed by Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca.

I didn’t bring you the news here, because the vinyl couldn’t be ordered outside Italy. But look how beautiful it is!!

Needless to say, I ordered mine and it should arrive these days, so I’ll let you know my impression as soon as it arrives!! 😉

We finish this news with a roundup of photos of our favorites:

IL VOLO in the recording room.

Piero with two famous Italian singers: Gianni Morandi and Antonello Venditti.

And how happy is Ignazio as he hugs his new girlfriend’s little cousin? ❤️

That’s all for now, but we’ll talk to you soon!!

Daniela 🤗
