EVENTS DURING CHRISTMAS TIME 2021 by Daniela

During the period of the Christmas holidays, Il Volo was a guest in several television and non-television programs.

We start with their presence on the evening of the eve (recorded previously) in a television program in Spain called “Viva la Fiesta :Nochebuena” broadcast by Telecinco.

Il Volo performs “SE” from Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (video sync is not perfect).

Please click on the image below to view the video.

Really sweet this song and our boys, what about pure elegance.

On the same evening , Il Volo is in Montecarlo, for a private event.

We have news of this event from the photos that Gianluca and Piero have published, unfortunately we do not see anything of the event.

But here we are at the most beautiful part of the evening.

After the Mass celebrated by the Pope, greetings from Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero are broadcast on RAI1 and, from the Frasassi caves, the sweet song: O Holy Night.

GIANLUCA = The most beautiful things in life are not that far away, they are close to us, they are within us.

IGNAZIO = I am inside this magnificent place that never ceases to enchant us.

PIERO = We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Fantastic. Finally we have been able to see another piece recorded in Frasassi.

This song always causes me shivers of emotion, the voices are wonderful, our young men are very elegant, and the place is enchanting, despite the low temperatures, you will have all noticed the puffs of breath during the video. ❤

Il Volo then delivered their vinyl record to some friends as a Christmas gift, and some of them thanked by publishing these photos and comments:

This was published by MCN Studio 17, the recording studio in Sicily where they recorded Ecstasy of Gold.

MCN Studio 17 had write this beautiful words:

“A year ago we had the privilege of being able to host in our studio, the beginning of this epic musical adventure, of the three golden boys of Italian bel canto, Piero Barone, Gianluca Ginoble and Ignazio Boschetto, who with polite simplicity have demonstrated their artistic and human greatness. Today we receive the fruit of this meeting that we will never forget. Thanks ilvolomusic always go ahead.”

Please click on the image below to view the video from Saturino.

This video was published by Saturnino Celano, (he is a well known Italian musician, and also a producer and composer), here is what he says:

“Hello everyone, I wanted to show you one of the most beautiful gifts ever received, really never received, ever since I started attending the wonderful world of music, this is a truly amazing gift.

Look what I received today, complete with dedication, from Ignazio Piero and Gianluca, amazing double vinyl, look how wonderful, and to do justice to this work, which I had the honor of listening to while they were recording it. (He shows the photo of the internal disk) Look what a sight. (he shows the red vinyl and puts it on the turntable (Ecstasy of gold begins).

Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much !!!

(He plays the start of Your Love and greets a friend live.)

Il Volo Sings Morricone, complete with dedication and autographs. Really wonderful, I recommend it at all, and thanks again to Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca.”

This was published by Red Ronnie (very famous Italian TV presenter, his is the Barone Rosso and Roxy Bar programs).

“I got this wonderful gift from the guys of Il Volo: Il Volo Sings Morricone, look!

Yes, dear guys, but we said to ourselves that you were coming to the Red Baron, clearly the jukebox is there, still broken, (Ignazio broke it), so Ignazio is armored, but I’m waiting for you. Thank you!”

The video above was published by Saretto of the Bam Bar in Taormina.

And this from Antonella Clerici, the one who presented them in 2009 in Ti Lascio una Canzone.❤

Gianluca also sent this sweet message:

“I want to send a special greeting to all the children of the AGBE (Association of Parents for Homopathic Children) and their families.

Unfortunately I wanted to come and see you, but my work commitments did not allow me to be there with you. But I send you many wishes for a Merry Christmas with the hope of hugging us again soon and that this situation will improve soon too.

Hello to everyone, I love you and see you very soon.”

Unfortunately, there was also sad news, such as that of the passing of the singer of Il Divo and their dear friend, Carlos Marin. R.I.P.

Reposted from @ilvolomusic.
It hurts our heart to hear this news. We have lost a beautiful soul and a wonderful voice that will live forever.
Our deepest condolences to your family and friends.

Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero then published their Christmas greetings, in three different languages:

English

Spanish

Italian

Really many commitments and all fantastic, but there is still one more, a long interview with the RAI1 television program Domenica In, aired on December 26th.

But for that, there is a long translation and you have to wait a little longer.

See you soon: Daniela

ALWAYS TOGETHER by Daniela

Friendship, the true one, can move seas and mountains, and is recognized in times of need.

Piero and Gianluca are two true friends and right now they are demonstrating this. Ignazio, since his father’s funeral, has remained in Sicily, perhaps he did not want to leave his mother and sister alone and he needed a moment of rest.

But there is a project to be completed, the tribute for Morricone, time passes and the date, which for now remains confirmed, is approaching.

So, a couple of days ago Gianluca published a photo of him at the Rome airport, leaving, for where?

We all thought about a return to Bologna, to continue the registration for the tribute.

But it wasn’t like that, the three friends got together, but not in Bologna, but in Sicily, it was all planned ….. I don’t think so. I think that the events, which prompted Ignazio to return to Marsala and to take a rest period, made Piero and Gianluca decide to return with their friend, to support him and also be able to continue their projects.

This is a true friendship. ❤❤❤
And here they are, beautiful and united.

Can I interpret the feelings of all of us fans, seeing Ignazio Piero and Gianluca together again? A feeling of great affection invaded me on seeing their beautiful faces gathered together. So much gratitude to Piero and Gianluca who preferred to go back to their friend and companion of many moments, Ignazio.

But the works have to resume, and so here they are intent on rehearsing the songs, they nicely let us peek, small moments, some chords ……. to make us understand that everything is proceeding.

I glimpse between them Lello Analfino, the one who had written beautiful words for Piero and Ignazio, now he has also met Gianluca, it looks like a recording studio, perhaps Analfino is giving them advice, and they know how to listen to the advice of people who have experience!

Surely, the Sicilian landscape outside is gorgeous, by the admission of the guys themselves ….. “the best way to record music” …..

And then we go out together, as friends, return by car and…

….. to end the evening, a nice dinner all together, while watching a football match, good times with friends, to end the evening, after a day of rehearsals.

And tomorrow we start again, but always together, always united.

Because this is the meaning of friendship.

The friendship that makes Ignazio write a beautiful theme for a television drama, Màkari, but which he shares with his old friends: Piero and Gianluca.

(this photo is the fragment of Màkari’s opening theme where Ignazio and IL VOLO are credited for the song)

And in the recording studio MCN STUDIO 17, in Palermo, they work, record, but there are also satisfactions.

These beautiful words had just been published by the studio itself.

Days of friendship and a special love that only music can give, thanks Il Volo, because in addition to music you bring with you that healthy joy of life that makes every moment madly beautiful, after all, art is to transform into happiness, and to live every moment of what some commonly call work, in a light way and full of ideas to improve by improving, you have brought this into our studios.

PS: Silvio Schembri (Piero’s friend) brought the “cassata” (delicious Sicilian dessert) and isn’t that happiness too ??? 🤡

To the most demanding, rightly, we remind you that the people portrayed in the photo are all “buffered” (they performed the test for the virus), see the following photo, and despite this, during the working hours all the positions were maintained and used precautions to avoid contact.

The photo without masks is a need that concerns the affection you feel with friends, and also a desire to exorcise the moment with the hope of being able to return soon to hug and kiss without fear, because hugs and kisses are that code of body language that makes us men and women free to love each other, and we want for these young talents a good that goes beyond imagination.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A couple of days ago, the page of Il Volo gave the official news of Vito’s passing with these beautiful and moving words.

A few years ago we titled one of our concerts “An Extraordinary Adventure”.
Well, all adventures contain moments of happiness and moments of sadness, the key thing is to face each of these moments together.
United, always.

Ciao Vito, we will miss you.

Better words could not be chosen, Vito will never be forgotten.

Always united, in happy and sad times, because that’s how true friendship works.

And what about the nice words used to our guys by the recording studio

What a joy to be able to see Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio, at work, rehearsing and recording, because they want the next event to be “perfect”, they want everyone to like it and be a worthy tribute to a “great composer”.

They will succeed, we are sure, and we will contribute to their success, with our affection and with our support.

Thanks guys, and good luck!

Daniela
