And now, the time has come for the final concert, “UNO PER TUTTI” (“One for All”), held in Mantua and recorded by Canale 5.
My thanks go to this channel and to Mediaset for making it possible, once again this year, to enjoy three magnificent evenings of beautiful music, excellent vocals, and all the fantastic elements that helped make these concerts truly memorable.
This is the concert I attended myself; it was wonderful to relive those moments, and I even spotted myself in the audience several times, though usually from behind, as I was focused on the songs and taking a few photos.
Here is the video of the evening, complete with subtitles. Afterward, I’ll walk you through each song and share a few details that were left out during the Canale 5 editing process.
For those who cannot watch it, here is the link from Mediaset.
It all begins, as always, backstage, where Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca try to recall the many guests appearing that evening.
Soon, they head out onto the stage, greeting the audience in the venue, the viewers watching on Canale 5, and the entire orchestra.
The concert kicks off immediately with a beautiful song: “IO CHE NON VIVO (SENZA TE)” by Pino Donaggio, it’s impossible not to sing along with them!
Next, they introduce the first guest of the evening, the gifted singer-songwriter Luca Carboni, who has recently faced some serious health issues.
Together, they perform a wonderful medley of his songs: “SILVIA LO SAI” (1987), performed with Gianluca; “FARFALLINA” (1987), performed with Piero; “CI VUOLE UN FISICO BESTIALE “ (2013), performed with Ignazio; and “MARE MARE” (1991), performed by all of them together.
Now our guys are ready to introduce the evening’s co-host, the talented comedic actress Katia Follesa. She’ll bring plenty of fun to the night, showing a playful interest in Gianluca’s affections, leading to a number of amusing gags.
A lovely Italian song written by Mino Reitano and sung as a duet by Piero and Ignazio: AVEVO UN CUORE CHE MI AMAVA TANTO
Now it’s time for a solo by Gianluca with the musical accompaniment of Nello Salza, together delivers a splendid rendition of Tenco’s beautiful song: MI SONO INNAMORATO DI TE
Once again accompanied by Nello Salza, Il Volo performs the beautiful SE by Morricone, from the film *Nuovo Cinema Paradiso*.
It’s time for a very young guest: 20-year-old Sarah Toscano, winner of the 2004 season of the show *Amici di Maria De Filippi*. In a duet with Piero, she performs the lovely song RIDERÀ, originally by Little Tony,dating back to 1995.
Immediately afterwards, Sarah Toscano, again, performs a duet with Ignazio, singing the current track DIE ON THIS HILL.
Another solo by Gianluca, what can I say? He performs this beautiful song by Paolo Conte with truly great mastery: VIENI VIA CON ME del 1981.
Next up is a delightful little skit featuring our guys and Katia Follesa, who wants to show off her singing with ability the song DONNE, but all she can manage to say is “du du du”!! 😁
It’s time for an opera piece; Il Volo is singing: LA DONNA È MOBILE from Rigoletto.
The beautiful SE TELEFONANDO continues. What a wonderful song by Maurizio Costanzo, it’s impossible not to sing along with Il Volo.
Another guest, Camilla Ardenzi, enters; while not a household name, she is the granddaughter of the renowned Italian singer Ornella Vanoni, who passed away this year, and this segment is dedicated to her, featuring a song she co-wrote with Gino Paoli: TI LASCIO UNA CANZONE, Camilla and Gianluca perform a delicate duet.
And now, there’s a solo by Ignazio; his voice and his interpretation truly shine in this beautiful song by Amy Winehouse, who left us far too soon: BACK TO BLACK
But let’s go back for a moment to classical singing and there is a beautiful duet between Piero and the beautiful and talented Italian soprano Mariam Battistelli, together they perform TU CHE M’HAI PRESO IL CUOR
Next up is a great solo by Gianluca, who sings a fine Elvis song the way only he knows how: BURNING LOVE
Ignazio speaks about the power of music, no one should ever feel alone—and this is what Il Volo aims to affirm with this beautiful song: YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE, gives me chills.
There is always room to listen to this beautiful song, Il Volo with GRANDE AMORE
The next guest is the Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Gabbani, in duet with Piero they perform VIVA LA VITA.
It’s a special moment: the international band BLUE is there, and together they perform the beautiful and incredibly famous song A CHI MI DICE
What a thrill to see them all together, and what talent!
Afterward, Blue also sing a song by Elton John, which they feature in their tour: SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD.
In a lighthearted moment, the members of Blue take part in a gag by eating a “pumpkin tortello” brought by Katia.
It’s time for a long duet with Fabio Concato, poet and singer-songwriter of music, together with Gianluca they perform BUONANOTTE AMORE del 2017.
Next comes the beautiful M’INNAMORO DAVVERO del 1999.
There’s a fun bit with Katia, followed by a solo from Ignazio, who tries his hand at a lovely song in French: VOILÀ.
After this lovely French song, there is a Neapolitan song, ERA DE MAGGIO, performed by Gianluca and Piero.
And now Il Volo, reunited for the beautiful L’IMMENSITÀ. This song was singing in Sanremo Festival in 1967.
Another solo, this time, Ignazio amazes us with his rendition of a song by Andrew Lloyd Webber, from the film/musical “JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR”, the beautiful HEAVEN ON THEIR MINDS.
These songs are absolutely tailor-made for our Ignazio!
And now it’s Piero’s beautiful voice that as always amazes us in NO PUEDE SER.
Immediately after Piero, it is Gianluca who amazes us with his splendid voice; accompanied by the highly talented Alessandro Quarta, he performs a song by Battiato from 1979 L’ERA DEL CINGHIALE BIANCO.
A beautiful song made a hit by Fausto Leali in 1988, performed here as a duet by Ignazio and Gianluca, who deliver a splendid rendition MI MANCHI.
The show is coming to an end; our guys call the delightful Katia over for the final goodbyes and announce the next song FRAMMENTI DI UNIVERSO.
Once again, a great concert, everything was well-executed, and the production by Mediaset was excellent.
I think people have high expectations for Il Volo, and our guys never disappoint; they are talented, charming, handsome, elegant, and well-mannered, in short, a delight for both the ears and the eyes. Unforgettable songs, wonderful performances, and vocals that are always top-notch. The Il Volo formula works perfectly!! 👏👏👏
P= Two weeks? We’ve been working on this for a whole year!
I= True, but those two weeks were definitely tough, though, in the end, our audience always gives us such incredible rewards; we have to say that. We’re so happy, grazie mille all so much!
Many posts about the show have appeared online, accompanied by countless positive comments. Naturally, there have also been some less-than-complimentary reviews, though even these could not help but acknowledge the talent of our guys.
From among them, I have chosen to translate this commentary published by*Libero Magazine*:
“Following the final episode of *Il Volo – Uno per tutti*, it is time to take stock of the Canale 5 event—a program dedicated to the *Il Volo and Friends* concert in Mantua. The assessment of the three tenors and the show they delivered can only be positive. Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble have long since evolved beyond being merely three magnificent voices; they are now true entertainers who know how to command the stage and engage an audience—not just through their music, but through everything surrounding it, including the playful banter they share with one another and their guests. Their comfort with the entire mechanics of a television production was further evidenced by their role as co-hosts, a task they handled exceptionally well. In short, the final verdict on these three evenings is that they culminate in yet another triumph.”
And so, the three televised concerts filmed at Palazzo Te in Mantua have come to an end for this year. I hope you enjoyed listening to these beautiful songs.
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.
The preview of the evening begins with Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio in the rooms of the beautiful Palazzo Te and precisely the Sala Dei Giganti, a beautiful room completely frescoed, enveloping and astonishing, also notable the frescoed ceiling and the geometry of the floor. Splendid!
IGNAZIO= but guys, we’ve gone a thousand turns, right left….we’re lost!
GIANLUCA= Wait, look, look for a moment where you are. We are in the Sala dei Giganti of Palazzo Te, look at the frescoes, look at the perspective there, look at the chiaroscuro. (the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting)
PIERO= Yes, the perspective is fine, the frescoes, everything, but we have a concert to do guys, all the guests have arrived too.
IGNAZIO= The guests, let’s call the guests.
GIANLUCA= Call them, so they can admire them too!
PIERO= (to Ignazio) Giorgia, call Giorgia.
IGNAZIO= You don’t know how many times I’ve looked for her. (It’s a deliberate phrase because the chorus of Giorgia’s last song says: you don’t know how many times I’ve looked for you.)
PIERO= The Kolors (a band of three guys)
IGNAZIO= The Kolors are three, who knows who will answer…
GIANLUCA= We’re not in Ibiza, come on (the biggest hit of the Kolors in a chorus says: this is not Ibiza)!
IGNAZIO= Who can we call? Beppe Fiorello, Arisa, Vanessa Incontrada…..
PIERO= Don’t worry, we’ll get out of here somehow, see you soon at TUTTI PER UNO.
The concert starts with the wonderful THE FINAL COUNTDOWN by Europe, which we listened to all three nights as an opener! 🤩
The first great guest of the evening is introduced immediately, the very talented Giorgia.
She is one of the most appreciated and successful Italian female singers, also because she has a fantastic voice.
In 1995 Giorgia won Sanremo with the song “Come saprei”, her manager at the time was Michele Torpedine.
Last year she co-hosted one of the concerts TUTTI PER UNO.
This performance by Giorgia is part of the second evening I attended and in the editing it was placed in the third.
Giorgia begins by singing in duet with Gianluca her song ORO NERO (2016).❤️
She continues in duet with Piero on his beautiful song QUANDO UNA STELLA MUORE (2013)❤️
The duets end with Ignazio together singing the beautiful song by Giorgia DI SOLE E D’AZZURRO (2001) which reaches particularly high notes. Gorgeous!❤️
At the end of the duets:
IGNAZIO= But can’t you sing a little more low-key songs?
GIORGIA= In fact, I’m very happy to have finally found someone who gives me a hand and what a hand, and it’s beautiful to hear your voices on my songs, your beautiful voices.
GIANLUCA = Did we do well? Great responsibility to sing your songs.
GIORGIA= More than well, magnificently!
A video collage of some moments of Giorgia’s past year is proposed.
Then Piero remembers that the night before they had dinner with Giorgia and stayed until 2:30 a.m. laughing and joking, this to underline that there is a great friendship between them.
At the end Gianluca asks Giorgia to sing her last song that she presented at Sanremo this year, the beautiful LA CURA PER ME (2025), 😍 and together with Il Volo she performs the final chorus!
We continue in style with a splendid solo by Ignazio, the song is from 1975.
IGNAZIO= 1975 is the year in which it was released, I dare say it bluntly, one of the most revolutionary songs in the history of rock, you all know it.
The wonderful BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY by the Queen begins. ❤️
Wow, what a voice Ignazio, what a pathos-filled interpretation!
And on with another beautiful duet, this time it’s Piero with Arisa, a good singer that we have already seen together with Il Volo singing in the basilica of Assisi in 2013.
The song they propose is in Neapolitan, written and sung by Modugno, published in 1964, TU SI NA COSA GRANDE. What power of voices!! 😍
Piero’s words:
“I’m very happy, I’m for two reasons, the first is that I’m about to perform one of the most famous Neapolitan songs, and the second is that I’ll be able to do it with one of the sweetest and most elegant voices of Italian song.
Ladies and gentlemen, to TUTTI PER UNO this evening: Arisa.”
It’s time to call the evening’s co-host on stage. She is Spanish, but when she was little she moved to Italy (1999), she is a nice and beautiful presenter and also an established television actress: VANESSA INCONTRADA.
Vanessa performs a skit where she pretends not to know Il Volo and has prepared three indications to help her understand which of the three she is talking about.
Card 1 = He is a male singer, he is part of the group Il Volo, and he won the Sanremo festival in 2015 (this applies to all three) 😂😂
Card 2 = He is very elegant and always dressed in black. (this also applies to all three) 😂😂
Card 3 = He has a tenor voice and wears glasses (we finally recognize Piero) 😂🥰
The concert continues with Il Volo performing the ever-beautiful GRANDE AMORE (2015). 😍
Il Volo continues together interpreting the ever beautiful and timeless song written by Dalla in 1986: CARUSO 😍
I’ve heard many versions of this song sung by various singers, but the way Il Volo performs it is wonderful!
The sweetest moment of the evening has arrived, Ignazio reads some words he wrote dedicating them to his baby on the way, Gabriele.
“You know, many of you know that I will soon become a father (applause), it has always been my desire to be a father.
But before being a father my desire was really to be able to meet my other half, and it is not easy.
Then when you find yourself meeting her, wanting to share your whole life with her, you get married, and there are a lot of married people here tonight, right? (applause) You have not regretted it, have you?
Here, I think that being a dad is a great gift, it is a great fortune and I will succeed, it will be beautiful, I am really excited and I thought of writing a little letter that I will take and read if I manage to finish it, and it is short too……and it says like this:
My dear son, (applause) I don’t know what it will be like to receive the most precious gift that life will give me, I don’t know what it will be like when I am too far away to wake you up in the morning to tell you that I love you.
And I don’t know what it will be like when you take my hand and with your sweet eyes and your sweet voice you will call me dad!” ❤️💙
Another guest enters, she is Alessandra Amoroso, a good Italian singer who shares the same joy as Ignazio for the arrival of a baby, she will soon be a mother.
Together they sing a beautiful song by Stevie Wonder: ISN’T SHE LOVELY released in 1976. 😍
Also on the evening of the concert I attended, this beautiful introduction by Ignazio to the song was made but he sang it solo and not as a duet with Alessandra.
While they sing, Alessandra Amoroso’s growing belly is evident, she also says that hers will be a girl and will be called Penelope and states that she has only one week of gestation difference with Michelle. The happiness of Ignazio and Alessandra who will be future parents is evident!! Congratulations! 💙🧡
Ignazio jokingly says that when he found out his baby was a boy he said to Alessandra: “You see, I’m making you your boyfriend, eh. (meaning Penelope). A good match, a good boy, raised well, from a good family with good values, and then we also get along, so!!”😂😂
At the end Alessandra Amoroso also sings her new song COSE STUPIDE (2025) 🥰
It’s time for Gianluca’s first solo, who with his warm and deep voice performs a beautiful song by Battiato E TI VENGO A CERCARE (1988) 🥰
Gianluca’s words: “Franco Battiato taught me that the invisible saves the world, that the human mind has limits and only by entrusting ourselves to what cannot be explained with reason, such as music, poetry, love, can we get closer to the sacred.
And love for me is not possession but freedom, because it changes us, reflects us and reveals us.
Battiato knew how to sing it like few others, elevating it to the divine and in his words I see myself.
I see my own need… (now he quotes some words from the song) …. and I come looking for you because in you I see my roots, because I need your presence to better understand my essence.
And this evening I want to pay homage to him because today more than ever we need to wake up, to open our eyes and our hearts and start looking at reality with more truth, with more beauty, but above all with more love.” ❤️
It’s time for another duet, this time it’s Piero who with great honor introduces the talented flautist Andrea Griminelli with whom he will perform the beautiful Neapolitan song brought to success by the tenor Giuseppe Di Stefano in 1953 DICITENCELLO VUJE.
Amazing 🥰
GIANLUCA= And now let’s take a trip not only back in time but also to a distant place that we know very well, Mexico.
IGNAZIO= In 1940 a song was born that entered everyone’s heart, not only for the splendid melody but above all for its intense sensuality.
The three guys take their places, Ignazio on the guitar, Piero on the piano and Gianluca on vocals, what a marvel to see them engaged in these different roles, I like them very much and together with Vanessa, who is called on stage, they sing BESAME MUCHO. ❤️
Now Beppe Fiorello enters the scene, he is the brother of Fiorello (Rosario) that we are used to seeing. Beppe is a very good actor and appreciated in Italy.
He is entrusted with the presentation of the next song.
“Good evening everyone. Here we go, good evening, now I’m going to tell you a story.
1964 is the year in which a song by Simon and Garfunkel that I love very much was composed: THE SOUND OF SILENCE, I’m sure you all know it.
The first verse is one of the most famous incipits in the history of rock: – Hello darkness, my old friend I’ve come to talk with you again- a poetic but also disconcerting phrase, – Welcome darkness, my old friend –
Paul Simon composed this song when he was only 21 years old, he wrote it in a single night sitting on the floor of his room completely in the dark, and to fill the silence of that darkness there were only the strings of his guitar.
He explained that with those words he didn’t want to make proclamations, no, he was just trying to explain in a simple way the alienation of kids his age, the loneliness they had inside, the difficulties those young people had in relating to the world.
– I saw ten thousand people, maybe even more, who were talking without talking, who were hearing without listening, who were writing songs that no voice would ever share and none of them dared to disturb the sound of silence.
SOUND OF SILENCE is a song from 60 years ago, we know that, and yet I believe that its cry of solitude is still very current, unfortunately I would add, for the many boys and girls of today, who live their great efforts in total silence, perhaps because there is no one to listen to them.” 👏
Il Volo performs the beautiful THE SOUND OF SILENCE.❤️
Another guest arrives, it is the good singer Brunori Sas, with him Gianluca performs LA CANZONE DEI VECCHI AMANTI (1967), a song by Jacques Brel, here sung in the Italian version by Battiato.
At the end the last verse Gianluca and Brunori sing it in French. 😍
It’s time for a young Italian singer: Stash (actually he’s 35 so he’s older than our guys) who is part of a very well-known trio in Italy, The Kolors.
Ignazio says that he and Stash are great lovers of Pino Daniele, of whom, together, they perform A ME PIACE “O BLUES” (1980). 🥰
Then Ignazio leaves the stage and the other two members of The Kolors enter and the group performs a medley of their most famous songs.🥰
PRONTO COME VA (2025)
TU CON CHI FAI L’AMORE (2025)
ITALODISCO (2023)
Another sweet and emotional moment, it is 2010 and a catastrophe arrives in Haiti, in support of the hard-hit population a large group of singers including our then little Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio, brings back to the success WE ARE THE WORLD USA FOR AFRICA of 1985 which this time becomes WE ARE THE WORLD FOR HAITI.
A photo of the singers, including Il Volo, is also projected.
Here the song is performed by Il Volo with the support of the children’s choir of Chiari (Brescia).
Moving and beautiful performance, how sweet it was. 😍
Now it’s time for a good singer that we know well, she was competing in Sanremo this year and on the duet night she wanted Il Volo with whom she sang The Sound Of Silence. CLARA enters the stage and in a duet with Gianluca performs YOU ARE THE REASON (2018) 🥰
Piero calls Vanessa Incontrada on stage who kindly gives Piero lessons in Spanish pronunciation.😁
It’s time for a solo by Piero who performs the very well-known romance from La Tabernera del Puerto (1936): NO PUEDE SER.
Always nice to hear this song with Piero’s splendid voice! 😍
Beppe Fiorello returns and together with Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero they give life to a moment in which they talk about certain gestures, certain moments that have become a must in films.
At the beginning, Beppe kindly wants to say something off the set list, and says that from backstage he heard the voices of Il Volo proposing songs of a certain importance but performed with extreme ease, with great naturalness, congratulations!
The game that Beppe Fiorello proposes is “time in cinema”.
How many gestures in cinema have remained indelible, explains Beppe Fiorello, for example they immediately recall the legendary movement that made Charlot immediately recognizable!
Then he remembers the run on the steps of Rocky.
Then he remembers the special movement of Spider-Man who throws the cobwebs.
Then he asks Gianluca and Piero to recall the legendary embrace of Jake and Rose on the Titanic. Piero asks to play Rose while Gianluca is asked to play the part of Di Caprio and Ignazio has to do the soundtrack.
Then he remembers a scene from The Godfather that caresses her cheek and the legendary dance of Uma Thurman and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction and all four perform some movements of the dance.
Finally he repeats the movement of Tony Manero that by now we all know in the dance of Saturday Night Fever. 😂👏
The concert continues with two beautiful interpretations made by Il Volo.
The first is the timeless UN AMORE COSÌ GRANDE (1976).🥰
And the second is GRANADA (1967), performed in three different ways by Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio.🥰
Both songs, Un Amore Così Grande and Granada were brought to success by the talented Claudio Villa!!👏
Vanessa Incontrada reads a presentation that talks about time…. “time is the heart of music”…..
All this to introduce Gianluca’s next solo: C’È TEMPO (2003) by Ivano Fossati.
Well done Gianluca who gives space to the beautiful songs of Italian singer-songwriters! 🥰
Another solo, this time it’s Ignazio’s turn to give voice…and what a voice…to two beautiful songs brought to success by Bon Jovi:
ALWAYS (1994) ❤️ LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER (1986) 🥰
What a marvel!
A beautiful duet awaits us now with Piero and Mario Biondi. Piero tells how it was written, how this song was born.
I must say that Piero and Mario were able to use different voices and styles on the beautiful song by Sting (The Police): ROXANNE (1978) 🥰
And now a timeless success that we always listen to with pleasure performed by the three beautiful voices of Il Volo: MY WAY (1969) 🥰
Another beautiful duet, Gianluca says:
“Every time has its songs and then there are songs that have no time”.
Gianluca with Piero sing the beautiful song written and performed by Renato Zero: IL CIELO (1978) ❤️
The concert continues with another beautiful classical duet, NOTTE ‘E PISCATORE (1995) performed by the powerful voices of Piero and Ignazio. 🥰
We have reached the end of the concert. Vanessa Incontrada returns to greet the audience of Mantua and Canale 5 and Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio greet her by paying homage to her with the beautiful HISTORIA DE UN AMOR (1955) ❤️
The concert is over Il Volo bids farewell with final greetings and with PER ASPERA AD ASTRA ❤️
Finally a final recap, the images of the Aftershow. 🥰
What can I say, another beautiful concert that closed a trilogy of successes, wonderful songs and good guest singers.
Elegance, friendliness and cheerfulness, even the newspapers and the comments speak well of this type of entertainment and of the fact that Il Volo did not rest on its laurels but continued on its path with great success.
And the voices of our dear Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, always at the top. This time too they made us dream and the television ratings rewarded them.
Many newspapers talked about it but I really liked one article in particular and I will propose it to you translated in the next few days.
I’ll start by saying that this is the concert I personally attended on the evening of May 10th in Mantua at Palazzo Te, so I was eagerly awaiting this moment to relive the entire evening, which was beautiful, and to see what changes they had made compared to the live performance.
Seeing it again was a great emotion and I was able to relive step by step what really happened, yes because the editing differs very little from the real evening.
As always I attach both videos, the one from Mediaset, visible in Italy and the one from YouTube made by Il Volo En Clase that I always thank but that in Italy is not visible, so I hope that in one way or another you can see the whole concert.
The first images of the evening open with Il Volo walking in the courtyard of Palazzo Te.
What you see behind Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca is the back of the palace itself, on the sides of the boys there are two large pools of water and at the end of the avenue opens the large lawn/garden of the palace, called Esedra (where they have placed all the seats). The bottom of the garden is closed with a series of beautiful arches arranged in a semicircular way, right in front of the arches there is the large stage for the performance.
While they walk, Gianluca reads some notes on Palazzo Te.
GIANLUCA= The splendid Palazzo Te in Mantua, was built in 1500 by Giulio Romano, a shining example of the excellence of Renaissance architecture.
PIERO= Beautiful!
GIANLUCA= Don’t miss the splendidly frescoed interiors.
Great artists such as Gianni Morandi, Antonello Venditti, Noemi, Fiorella Mannoia, Enrico Brignano, Lorella Cuccarini perform here……
IGNAZIO= But when?
GIANLUCA= In the second episode of TUTTI PER UNO VIAGGIO NEL TEMPO, the concert by Il Volo.
PIERO= But the second episode of TUTTI PER UNO is tonight!
GIANLUCA = Exactly, good, it says it here too, read, the Il Volo concert is starting soon…
IGNAZIO= Exactly, stop reading, let’s go on stage….
PIERO= See you soon at TUTTI PER UNO
IGNAZIO= (off camera calls Piero) Piero!
PIERO= Yes, I’m coming!!
The actual concert begins with the notes of the beautiful song THE FINAL COUNTDOWN chosen for the opening of the three evenings in Mantua. 🤩
After the beautiful performance, greetings to Mantua and the audience of Canale 5.
The first great guest of the evening is Gianni Morandi (81 years old), he has been in vogue since 1960, he was a boy when he started singing and is still active.
This performance was not recorded on day 10 but on day 8 during the first evening, in fact if you pay attention during some scenes you can see the rain.
The evening I attended the initial guest was Giorgia who we will definitely see next week.
Gianni Morandi begins by duetting with Ignazio singing the beautiful song GRAZIE PERCHÈ (1991).
He continues with Gianluca singing VITA (1988).
He ends with Piero singing the beautiful SE NON AVESSI PIÙ TE (1966). This beautiful song was also the live-motive of a film with the same title and interpreted by the same young Morandi and which had a huge success.❤️
The last verse of the song is sung by all four together and at the end Gianni Morandi says sympathetically:
“Guys, singing with you is beautiful, but guys, you have too much voice, it’s a disaster for us to keep up with you!” 😂🤣
Gianni usually takes a selfie with whoever he duets with and so tonight he takes a selfie with Il Volo and Piero makes everyone laugh because Gianni’s phone wasn’t in “airplane” mode and so it could ring at any moment! 😂
Gianni Morandi’s guest appearance ends with a sensational song from 1966, here in Italy it was a great success and I always thought it was a foreign song then translated into Italian, instead I discovered that it is an Italian song that was then translated into various languages. The title of the song is C’ERA UN RAGAZZO.
This protest song against the Vietnam War was subjected to musical censorship by RAI for being in opposition to the policies of a friendly country, the USA.
Its words are very beautiful and sad and so I also attach the translated text. It is a hymn to not making wars!!❤️🕊️
There was a boy who like me, Loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones Traveled the world, came from The United States of America He wasn’t handsome, but next to him He had a thousand women if He sang “Help!” and “Ticket to ride” Or “Lady Jane” or “Yesterday” He sang: “Long live freedom” But he received a letter He gave me his guitar He was called back to America Stop with the Rolling Stones! Stop with the Beatles, stop! They told me go to Vietnam And shoot the Vietcong Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta There was a boy who like me Loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones He traveled the world, but then he ended up Waging war in Vietnam He no longer wears long hair He doesn’t play the guitar, but An instrument that always gives The same “ra-ta-ta-ta” note He no longer has friends, he no longer has fans He sees people falling down He won’t return to his country Now he’s dead in Vietnam Stop with the Rolling Stones! Stop with the Beatles, stop! In the chest there is no more heart But two medals or three Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
It’s time for the first solo and it’s Ignazio who offers us the beautiful I WANT IT ALL (1989) by Queen, what power!! 👏😍
Here follows Piero’s beautiful solo on the beautiful song from Verdi’s opera TROVATORE (1853).
This was one of my dad’s favorite songs, he always sang it to me, and hearing it sung by Piero’s beautiful voice brought back so many fond memories. ❤️
Here follows a duet between Gianluca and the singer Noemi on a beautiful song by Battiato LA STAGIONE DELL’AMORE (1983). 😍
Beautiful duet and beautiful words of which I propose the first piece.
“The season of love comes and goes Desires almost never age with age If I think about how badly I spent my time That will not return, will never return The season of love comes and goes Suddenly without realizing it, you will live it, it will surprise you We have had opportunities Losing them, do not regret them, never regret them Yet another enthusiasm will make your heart beat New possibilities to get to know each other And lost horizons are never forgotten The season of love will return With fears and bets This time how long will it last If I think about how badly I spent my time That will not return, will never return.”
At this point the co-host of the evening is introduced: Lorella Cuccarini (60 years old).
She is a very good and nice show girl, she achieved success in 1985 with the show Fantastico where she danced and sang the theme song SUGAR SUGAR and the dance, which became viral at the time, involved a hand movement that Ignazio continues to propose. Ignazio also takes the guitar to perform the song but also remains breathless!! 😂🤣🥰👏
Lorella Cuccarini activates the timer that stops time in the year 1898, the year of publication of the timeless and highly successful Il Volo O SOLE MIO. 😍
This is immediately followed by the beautiful SE TELEFONANDO (1966), Costanzo’s beautiful words set to music by Morricone and brought to success by Mina. 😍
The concert continues with another welcome guest and good singer-songwriter Antonello Venditti. With him Gianluca performs the beautiful song STELLA (1984). 😍
At the end of the song, Ignazio and Piero, whom Venditti calls “the little brothers of rock”, also arrive and all together they perform the beautiful NOTTE PRIMA DEGLI ESAMI (1984).
Lorella Cuccarini returns to the stage and there is a beautiful tribute to the very talented show girl RAFFAELLA CARRÀ, she was a very nice woman, self-deprecating and good at hosting and singing, a revolutionary woman, a model, an icon. Lorella and the guys remember the bob of her hair, famous because despite the moves of the showgirl the hair always came back in place and became very fashionable at the time and then they also remember the song TUCA TUCA (1971) which had a dance at the beginning censored because Raffaella danced with a top that therefore revealed the navel and the dance included moves where the partner touched Raffaella’s skin. Later it became famous when it was performed in an ironic way by Raffaella and the good actor Alberto Sordi.
The memory of Raffaella Carrà ends with the performance of RUMORE (1974), one of Raffaella’s songs performed by Il Volo and Lorella Cuccarini.
The concert continues with the beautiful song LA VITA (1968) presented at Sanremo by Shirley Bassey and proposed here as a duet between Piero and Fiorella Mannoia. 😍
This performance is also part of the first evening of recording, then edited differently.
At the end of the song Fiorella announces that she will perform a concert at Caracalla and among her guests there will also be Il Volo!
Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca reunited sing together the beautiful MISERERE, a song by Zucchero from 1990, and which receives a lot of applause. 🥰
Ignazio introduces the next guest, the singer-songwriter Marco Masini with whom Ignazio duets singing the beautiful song CI VORREBBE IL MARE (1990). 🥰
A song written by a very good Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti, his songs have made a generation sing.
I GIARDINI DI MARZO was written in 1972, I was a little girl then and I remember every word of this beautiful song. It is performed in a beautiful duet by Piero and Gianluca. ❤️
As I told you, I know this song very well and of course I sang it that evening. The cameraman of Canale 5 noticed us and filmed us, we are in a frame almost at the end of the song but you can see me clearly. I am in the middle, next to me my daughter-in-law’s mother and then my husband partially hidden by my arm. How exciting to see each other again, we are also part of the video of Il Volo, what an honor!! ❤️
It’s time for the comic figure of the evening and in this second episode the role has been entrusted to the comedian Enrico Brignano.
In the first sketch he appears impersonating an ancient Roman consul.
At the beginning he defends the Latin language that the guys say is a dead language, then he praises the glory of the past of ancient Rome, all to introduce the next beautiful song NELLE TUE MANI from The Gladiator (1998) sung wonderfully by Il Volo. ❤️❤️
Here is another beautiful song performed by our guys, the beautiful A CHI MI DICE, a success by Blue, released in 2003 and then also translated into Italian.😍
The talented Lorella Cuccarini returns to the stage and compliments our boys.
Lorella makes a speech about the music that accompanies films and that then becomes famous and then MANIAC is immediately named from the film Flashdance (1983). Then the film Blus Brother is remembered from which the song EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMEBODY TO LOVE (1980) is taken.
Finally the beautiful film Grease from which the beautiful song YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT (1978) is taken, briefly and nicely proposed by Lorella and Ignazio in the Italian version YOU ARE MADE FOR ME. 😍
The evening continues with a beautiful tribute to an Italian singer-songwriter known throughout the world thanks to his song Volare. He is Domenico Modugno, the tribute is made in solo by Gianluca who masterfully performs with his warm voice three beautiful successes by Modugno of which I briefly propose the translated beginning.
It begins with AMARA TERRA MIA (Bitter Land of Mine) (1974).
“Sun in the valley and sun on the hill There is no one left in the countryside Goodbye, goodbye, love I’m going away Bitter land of mine Bitter and beautiful Endless skies and faces like stone Called hands now without hope Goodbye, goodbye, love I’m going away Bitter land of mine Bitter and beautiful”.
Then follows the iconic VECCHIO FRACK (Old tailcoat) (1955) that I loved to sing as a child even if the song is older than me.
“Midnight has come The noises fade away The sign fades away Of that last café The streets are deserted Deserted and silent A last carriage Creaking goes away The river flows slowly Rushing under the bridges The moon shines in the sky The whole city is asleep Only an old tailcoat goes”.
Finally the beautiful MERAVIGLIOSO (Wonderful) (1968)
“It’s true Believe me it happened At night on a bridge I was looking at the dark water With the damned desire To dive down Suddenly Someone behind me Maybe an angel Dressed as a passerby Took me away saying Like this Wonderful But how do you not realize How the world is Wonderful Wonderful Even your pain It may appear later Wonderful But look around you What gifts they gave you They invented you The sea You say I have nothing Does the sun seem like nothing to you The Life The Love Wonderful The love of a woman Who loves only you Wonderful The light of a morning The embrace of a friend The face of a child Wonderful Wonderful.”
It’s time for a virtual duet, Ignazio will sing a duet in Neapolitan with Pino Daniele on his beautiful song QUANDO (1991). This duet is amazing, well done Ignazio! ❤️
Ignazio introduces the song by reading this dedication:
“Pino, you were the soundtrack of many moments in my life, from the most melancholic to the happiest. It’s been ten years since you left us, too soon. I never had the chance to meet you personally but I want to thank you, because you managed with your voice and your music to make me see the world with your thousand colors. I thought I’d remember you with one of your songs that is closest to my heart and tonight, with a little magic, I’ll feel closer to you.”
Another beautiful duet, but this time an opera aria, from the toast of Verdi’s Traviata (1853), the joyful LIBIAM DE LIETI CALICI, skillfully sung by Piero and the soprano Elisa Balbo. ❤️
It’s always a pleasure to listen again to the beautiful GRANDE AMORE with which Il Volo won Sanremo in 2015! ❤️
Lorella Cuccarini returns to the stage with whom Il Volo makes fun of the 80s for the exaggeration of hair and also of clothes. At the end a hypothetical image of Il Volo in 80s style is proposed. 😂
Then a song from that period sung by U2 is introduced and this time performed as a duet by Ignazio and Gianluca, the beautiful WITH OR WITHOUT YOU (1987). 😍
The timer marks a very particular year 1860 is the year of the unification of Italy.
To understand the gag that follows I have to tell you a little about Italian history.
Brignano plays Giuseppe Garibaldi who is considered the architect of the unification of Italy.
With the enterprise of the Thousand (that is, with the help of a thousand men called Garibaldini), he allowed the Mezzogiorno (south) to be united with Piedmont (north) in 1860, and therefore to arrive at the constitution of the Kingdom of Italy (1861).
Garibaldi’s exploits are also very well known in South America, in fact he is called the hero of two worlds.
In the gag our guys do not recognize Garibaldi who instead says he is very famous because every town has a square, a street or a monument named after him.
Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca are dressed as Garibaldini and carry the Italian flag and every time Brignano says the word “flag” in his speech, they start singing like this:
“And the three-colored flag has always been the most beautiful, we always want that we want freedom, freedom.”
In the end Brignano cannot speak because he is always interrupted by the singing of our guys and Brignano tells the orchestra not to indulge them or he will shoot!
A page of the Italian Risorgimento in comic form, at the end Brignano greets everyone saying: “Long live Italy always!” 😂🥰
It’s time for a wonderful song by Elton John from 1994 CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT, a song from the movie The Lion King, wonderfully performed by Gianluca.
During the song, two young and talented dancers from the Rome Opera performed. ❤️
This song was also not performed on the second night, but I think it was part of the third concert.
Gianluca’s words for the presentation:
“There are songs that are not just notes and words, but become traveling companions and the one I’m about to sing is one of those, it accompanied me as a child in the moments when I dreamed of being stronger, more confident, and when I constantly looked for confirmation, answers. I was a shy child, with his insecurities and his immense dreams and with time I understood that that shyness was not a limit but a silent force that protected me from arrogance and taught me humility.
Growing up my body changed, the world around me changed, but something remained unchanged, my soul, and inside me that child is still there and tonight I sing with him and this is CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT.”
It’s the most touching moment of the evening.
IGNAZIO = It’s one of those songs that we always want to dedicate to the people who unfortunately are no longer physically with us and we think it’s right this year for TUTTI PER UNO to dedicate this song to our Barbara who is no longer with us. (applause). 🙏
Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero are moved and raise their beautiful voices in memory of Barbara Vitali, to whom the poignant HALLELUJAH by Cohen (1984) is dedicated. ❤️
Another beautiful and challenging duet is that between Piero and Ignazio who sing the beautiful TU CA NUN CHIAGNE (1987) in Neapolitan language.😍
This time Piero surprises us with a solo in French, he has performed it only once in Japan, in Kyoto in 2022 at the Kiyomizu-Dera Temple: POURQUOI ME REVEILLER from the opera Werter 1892. 👏👏
Lorella Cuccarini returns to the stage for the final greetings, but before saying goodbye together with Il Volo she sings the beautiful song by Gino Paoli UNA LUNGA STORIA D’AMORE 1988. 😍
It’s also time for the last song of the concert.
Il Volo thanks the audience of Mantua and the audience of Canale 5.
The final song is taken from the latest CD of Il Volo: OPERA 2024. ❤️
In the photo Il Volo and in the background the beautiful paintings of Palazzo Te.🤩
The concert is over but I also offer you the summary video and photos of the rehearsals!!
It is the first of the evenings of Canale 5 where Il Volo will present the concerts TUTTI PER UNO – VIAGGIO NEL TEMPO, recorded in Mantua at the beautiful Palazzo Te.
There is a lot of anticipation on the part of the television audience to understand if, this time too, the ratings will be the maximum of the evening.
I am also ready to enjoy the evening, I did not want to watch the numerous fan videos on purpose even if I was very curious, I tried to maintain the surprise effect as much as possible.
Now that I have seen the entire concert I can say that Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca were as always not only good but also very professional, they entertained and sang with many guests, always putting them at ease and never overwhelming them, like good “hosts”.
I was truly amazed to see the pouring rain, reminding me of my experience two years ago.
Beautiful scenic settings projected on the background of the exedra of Palazzo Te, bright lights have scratched the evening animated also by a beautiful full moon.
A large classical orchestra with the introduction of a rock element (guitars and drums) and a large choir directed by Maestro Marcello Rota and on the piano the inevitable Maestro Grani.
A very high expectation that was as always respected by the skill of our Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio: Il Volo!!
But here is the video of the evening.
I propose both the one from Mediaset that I know is not visible in some foreign areas and the video from YouTube that is not visible in Italy. I hope that everyone can see this beautiful concert.
The warm and always perfect voices of Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero, sweet and sensitive in the heartfelt moments, high and untouchable in the moments of greatest impact, certainly did not disappoint anyone, but as always delighted those who listened to them enraptured.
Step by step I will explain and list the various songs, translating things roughly.
If you want some particular translation let me know without problems.
Enjoy the viewing!!
English subtitles can be activated on the following YouTube video.
A really exciting start with a unique play of lights, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca enter to the powerful music rock of Europe THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, spectacular!!👏
After the initial greetings to the audience, the thanks to Canale 5 and the hospitality of Palazzo Te in Mantua, the guys tell that the show will also be a journey through time marked by the timer in the background that will decree the year of the song performed.
You hear some guitar chords and the first big guest is introduced: Eros Ramazzotti!!
Eros starts immediately by performing his beautiful song UN’ALTRA TE, him and his guitar, at the end of the exedra, after the audience and at the beginning of the Palazzo. (This performance was recorded on the third evening but in the editing it was inserted in the first concert). 🥰
Eros Ramazzotti is called on stage by the guys. Eros and Il Volo had already sung together years ago. Eros is a good singer-songwriter, his songs are very beautiful and at this point three beautiful duets are born.
Eros sings with Piero ADESSO TU (1986). 🥰 With Gianluca he sings SE BASTASSE UNA CANZONE (1990).🥰 With Ignazio he sings PIÙ BELLA COSA (1996).🥰
Wonderful songs from my youth!!!
Finally, before saying goodbye, Eros sings just one last beautiful song of his: UNA STORIA IMPORTANTE (1985)
It’s time for a duet between Piero and Ignazio on a beautiful song by Albano. There are very few singers who can sing this song with very high notes, compliments to Ignazio and Piero: È LA MIA VITA (2007) 👏👏
It’s the first solo and it’s Gianluca who performs amazingly on the beautiful song by Colplay VIVA LA VIDA (2008). Bravo Gianluca!👏
It’s time to introduce the female figure who will be the co-host of the evening, the time timer stops on 2009.
PIERO= 2009, it reminds me of a very important date, I even put it in my passport.
GIANLUCA= Maybe it reminds you of something too, I would call it year zero because it’s the year in which the three of us met, the year in which our story together began.
IGNAZIO= We can say that it was born in the studios of TI LASCIO UNA CANZONE (Rai 1), we were very young and none of us would have expected that our life would have completely changed from that moment.
PIERO= Gentlemen, if we have been together for 16 years it’s also her fault.
She is a person to whom we owe a lot, we must thank her and be eternally grateful, she is a great friend, she has always been with us, at our side with text messages on the phone but she has always been there.
GIANLUCA = at TUTTI PER UNO we have the honor of having with us tonight:
G+I+P= Antonella Clerici.
Antonella enters and after the initial greetings, Antonella expresses her emotion and honor of being on stage together with Il Volo.
Then an image of TI LASCIO UNA CANZONE is projected and there is laughter and also memories of how our three guys were at the beginning.
Antonella remembers that Piero was the most serious, Gianluca the dandy and Ignazio the troublemaker and they discover that the three of them are still the same and she can’t believe that Ignazio is now about to become a father.
Antonella confirms her pride in following the various stages around the world of her three children, like a second mother and also remembers that in 2015 when they showed up at Sanremo she called the host of the event saying that Il Volo would surely win and in fact it was so.
At this point Il Volo dedicates to Antonella the always beautiful victorious song: GRANDE AMORE ❤️
Let’s move on to a beautiful song that is part of Il Volo’s repertoire: L’IMMENSITÀ, performed at Sanremo in 1967. 🥰
A short comic moment follows, with Antonella showing old photos trying to make comparisons with our guys. Ignazio is compared to a gladiator. Piero to a scholar. Gianluca to the Sun King! And then a photo of our three guys with long 80s style hair is shown and at the end Ignazio tries to follow in Michael Jackson’s steps. 🤣
Now it’s time for a young guest singer who will perform a duet with Gianluca, she is Gaia and together they duet on the beautiful song L’APPUNTAMENTO (1970), very sweet Gianluca and Gaia!! 🥰
And now it’s time for a great guest, the talented singer-songwriter Gigi D’alessio. He is also a great friend of our kids.
Gigi starts with a beautiful duet with Ignazio, with whom he sings the beautiful NON DIRGLI MAI. (2000) 🥰
Gigi continues by recalling that he also knew the first years of Il Volo when they were very young. Gigi is also a great friend of our kids and they say that he is a special person.
They all perform Gigi’s beautiful song QUANTI AMORI (2004) together and at the end of the performance Gigi talks about a project in favor of Sicilian children. Great!!! ❤️
The concert continues with the song by Pino Donaggio from the Il Volo repertoire, IO CHE NON VIVO (1962). When I hear this song I can’t help but sing! 😍
Now it’s a very sweet moment, on stage there is a solo by Piero who will perform FUNICULÌ FUNICULÀ (1880) and will be accompanied by the very good children of the San Bernardino choir of the city of Chiari.
Let me say that Chiari is a town in Brescia, right near Roncadelle where I live, also the whole orchestra and the adult choir are from Franciacorta which is also an area of Brescia, a great pride of mine!!
The little children are very good with Piero who is very sweet with them. ❤️
Now the comic character of the evening is introduced: Giorgio Panariello who plays a man from the future. With sympathy and many jokes there is a brief comic moment with a space suit that should disappear on command but that doesn’t work.
Finally Panariello introduces the beautiful song by David Bowie performed by a very talented Gianluca reading these beautiful words:
“It was 1972, the world was in pieces, a bit like today. A boy turns on the radio and hears a voice coming from space, it was the voice of a man, a man of the stars, a good alien who doesn’t want to invade but who wants to talk, wants to dialogue.
The alien says – guys you are not alone, there is something out there, there is hope out there.
David Bowie didn’t just give us a song, but a simple, revolutionary message in a time of uncertainty, to tell us that even if the world out there seems gray, there will be a starman ready to tell us that there is still a future.”
STARMAN (1972) 😍
It’s time for another special guest: Fiorella Mannoia, she is a good interpreter with a truly unique voice, she is 71 years old and together with Ignazio she will duet singing the beautiful song by Vasco Rossi from 1996: SALLY.
A wonderful duet! ❤️
And now Il Volo with the beautiful song brought to Sanremo 2024: CAPOLAVORO 🥰
It’s time for a solo, this time it’s Piero who with great professionalism and skill performs the beautiful romance from Tosca: E LUCEVAN LE STELLE ❤️
Giorgio Panariello returns and with him the comic moment of the evening.
As a man from the future, Giorgio brings on stage three innovative musical instruments that are in use in the future and with which Il Volo must get to know because the future concerts will be held on Mars and that is why Katy Perry has already gone to explore the locations suitable for her next live!! 😂😂
Panariello finally asks the guys to try the tools of the future that he brought.
He makes Gianluca try SPHERE which is like a big transparent helmet so that the solar wind doesn’t mess up your hair. Obviously when Gian sings nobody hears anything. 🤣
He makes Piero try the VOICE EXPANDER, but in the end it sounds like a vacuum cleaner tube and Panariello says that at the end of the performance the stage is clean! 🤣
He makes Ignazio try the VIBRAVOX which is used to obtain the vibrato. Needless to say, Ignazio has a lot of fun using it.🤣
In the end Panariello makes the whole audience sing VOLARE using the throat vibrator!! 😂😂😂
All very funny indeed, well done Giorgio Panariello. 👏
After the laughter, the show continues with another welcome guest: MASSIMO RANIERI.
Gianluca and Massimo Ranieri perform a duet on his beautiful song MIA RAGIONE (2020) 🥰
Massimo Ranieni’s voice, despite his age (74 years) is still really strong, congratulations.
At this point Piero, Ignazio, Gianluca and Massimo let loose on a great success by Massimo Ranieri: SE BRUCIASSE LA CITTÀ (1970) I think all of Italy sang it that year.
Furthermore, everyone mentions the movements made back then on that song, too strong!! ❤️
It’s time for a beautiful song by the group CCCP from 1980, later brought to success also by Gianna Nannini, the title is AMANDOTI and Piero performs it with the talented singer Malika Ajane. 🥰
Full speed ahead with an opera aria by Verdi, sung by Il Volo with skill and irony.
The introduction with Antonella Clerici is also done in a comical way.
I remind you that in Rigoletto, this aria is performed in the last act by the Duke of Mantua: LA DONNA È MOBILE (1851). 😍
It’s time for another solo by Gianluca. In the presentation, Gianluca with Antonella, explain that certain songs that remain in history, are born by chance.
This is what happened for this beautiful song by the Beatles. The words were thought up by Paul Mc.Cartney dedicated to Julian, John Lennon’s little son who was sad about his parents’ separation. Later the name Julian was replaced by Jude, and that’s how the beautiful song HEY JUDE (1968) was born, here performed with great skill by Gianluca. 😍
Listening to this beautiful song you all must sing, its words are known all over the world. Written in 1965 and brought to success by Jimmy Fontana, Il Volo sings: IL MONDO 😍
It’s time for a very important guest, he is a great friend and supporter of our guys.
The age advances but the class is intact and the very good tenor PLACIDO DOMINGO, applauded performs in duet with Piero, in French, the beautiful aria AU FOND DU TEMPLE SAINT written by Bizet in 1883.
I must say that Piero holds and conducts this beautiful aria very well, bravo! 👏
Domingo always has nice words for our guys that he always remarks with great affection.
Now Il Volo will sing NESSUN DORMA, the beautiful aria from Turandot and written by Puccini in 1926.
Exceptional conductor Placido Domingo. 👏
The evening continues with a solo by Ignazio. The sweet song was written and brought to success by the talented Mia Martini in 1982: E NON FINISCE MICA IL CIELO
Ignazio performs it with great emotion. 😍
The following song was written and sung with great vigor, by Riccardo Cocciante in 1978.
Later a much sweeter version was performed by the singer Rino Gaetano and it is precisely this version that Piero and Gianluca will perform in this beautiful duet. This song was sung only once by Piero in a live radio broadcast and I must say that everyone immediately liked it: A MANO A MANO ❤️
And here they are all three reunited, our talented Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio who perform with great skill IL MARE DEL SILENZIO presented at Sanremo in 1968 in a duet by Tony Del Monaco and Dionne Warwick. Stupendous! 😍
This next song has become the soundtrack of a beautiful film, we know it very well by now because it is part of the repertoire that is usually sung by Il Volo, but it is always a pleasure to listen to it again, in this case in a duet by Ignazio and Gianluca: UNCHAINED MELODY (1955) 😍
The talented Massimo Ranieri (74 years old) returns to the stage and performs one of his beautiful songs presented this year at Sanremo 2025: TRA LE TUE MANI UN CUORE👏
But how good ABBA were, I think everyone knows them and Ignazio thought of performing a beautiful solo, challenging and full of impact. WE WINNER TAKES IT ALL (1980). Bravissimo Ignazio!! ❤️
We are almost at the end of the evening and there is a very sweet moment to say goodbye to Antonella who immediately takes the opportunity by entering the stage, to bring a gift to Ignazio for Gabriele, a nice bib on which is embroidered TI LASCIO UN BAVAGLINO, ZIA ANTO, (I leave you a bib, aunt Anto) how sweet.
Then the boys make Antonella sit down and dedicate to her the beautiful song by Aznavour SHE, written in 1974, sung here in the Italian version UGUALE A LEI.
Antonella deeply moved cannot hold back the tears. ❤️
Like all good things, this concert has come to an end. And what better way to end with the beautiful AD ASTRA. (2024)
Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero did a great job, they spent a lot of energy for a beautiful concert.
Many songs were performed, many of which are not part of the usual repertoire of Il Volo.
It was a celebration of music because space was given to recent songs and ancient arias, with mixed musical tastes, from pop to rock to classical and all well performed.
When the artists are of the caliber of Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero it is a great satisfaction and pride to be able to attend one of their live concerts, because what you see on TV is what you see and hear live, without tricks, without deception but only skill.
The television ratings were once again the highest of the evening, once again rewarding the skills of Il Volo.
Now the second concert awaits us, the one I attended.
See you soon: Daniela 🤗
A video and some nice photos of the rehearsal and concert moments.
