I’m on the early morning train to the Cinque Terre and I’m thinking, how do I wrap up the last fifteen years? How do I summarize how these amazing men who came together as teenagers on the Ariston stage, rose to stardom in a short time and remained the success they are today? Maybe the best way to think about it is to think as they think and that would be to summarize it as they did. Their new album says it all. They’re Sitting on the Edge of the Universe.
Just think what they’ve done over the last two years. They’ve changed their style! They’ve changed their music! They introduced their individuality; they’ve shared the songs that are closest to their heart, yet they didn’t leave bel canto behind. They brought it along because, that’s who they are ~ Il Volo.
That’s who they were in the beginning, and that’s who they’ll always be until the end. But it’s important to recognize where they are now. They have all new never been heard before songs, new ideas. A whole new style, that I absolutely love! Let’s take a look at how they took this leap forward. You might call it a leap of fate!
Songs come and songs go but some never leave. Classics! Songs that are and always will be in the repertoire! O Sole Mio, Granada, Nessun Dorma, Il Mundo; these are the songs that they will always bring to the concerts, but the new songs are the ones that tell the truth. The truth about how they got to the edge of the universe where we find them in 2024.
Let’s begin with Frammenti di universo (Fragments of the Universe). To me, this song talks about three teenage boys who set out on a journey for life. What they saw and how they perceived their future! Along the journey they find strength, love and fragments of the universe and the experiences of life.
Now let’s look at how I see the lyrics….
This song evokes a sense of wonder and reflection on the interconnectedness of the universe and human experience. It begins by describing the beauty of the night sky, portraying celestial bodies as “suspended miracles” visible through the eyes of a child. The imagery of waiting in a courtyard hoping for something yet to come.
It explores optimism, likening the individuals to dreams carried by the wind and clouds drifting above. There’s a sense of empowerment in the “signs of the vast expanse.”
The car headlights on the road point to life’s journey where one must trust oneself amidst uncertainty.
It also touches on the enduring nature of love and the significance of fleeting moments in the vastness of time and space.
Let’s talk about Chiara di Luna (Moonlight)….
This song talks about miracles that come about whether by fate of luck. In the case of Il Volo, we know it’s fate. The moonlight is a metaphor for illumination, the guidance that will help them through the dark times. The hope that dispels the fears.
The soul is depicted by a feather which though delicate is very resilient. These guys certainly are resilient. The miracle of fate is certainly God’s hand in their creation and their coming together on the Ariston stage. As they grew, they learned, out there on their own, how to deal with life’s uncertainties and challenges.
In Moonlight, the lyrics seem to express a contemplation on life, love, and the mysterious nature of existence. The speaker reflects on his thoughts while looking at the sea, longing for someone, and pondering the unpredictability of life’s course.
The imagery of waves coming and going reflects the transient nature of life and relationships. Despite uncertainties and challenges, there’s a sense of resilience and hope portrayed, symbolized by the clouds parting and the night becoming a spectacle, dispelling fear.
The moonlight serves as a metaphor for illumination and guidance in dark times, with the soul depicted as a feather, suggesting a delicate yet resilient essence. The idea of being pieces of a miracle, whether by fate or luck, underscores the interconnectedness and wonder of existence.
It also talks about learning and growth through living, with the acknowledgment that sometimes choices are limited, yet there’s still a glimmer of light and possibility. Love is portrayed as a healing force, capable of saving and restoring.
There’s a sense of wonder, resilience, and the enduring power of love and connection, even amidst life’s uncertainties and challenges.
In Saturno & Venere (Saturn & Venus) we get to the heart of what the guys went through every time they left home and the loved ones they left behind. Especially the girls they left behind. As their career grew so did their desire to find love and, in many cases they did, but the difficulty of leaving a loved one behind goes to the heart of this song!
These lyrics seem to express feelings of longing, frustration, and heartbreak in a relationship. The speaker reflects on the inability to fully connect with the other person, despite their efforts to do so.
There’s a sense of distance and separation portrayed, with the speaker on one side and the other person on the other side, unable to bridge the gap between them. Words are held back, promises are made but not kept, and there’s a feeling of being left hanging by the other person.
The metaphor of the other person being like the universe, a big question mark, underscores the mystery and complexity of their relationship. Despite the pain caused by their absence, the speaker still feels a deep longing for them, symbolized by the need for the sun to start again, implying a desire for renewal and hope.
The lyrics depict the tumultuous emotions experienced in the aftermath of a failed relationship, with a mix of resignation, longing, and a reluctant acceptance of the other person’s significance in their life.
To me, Opera talks about their career. Their fifteen years together. You can liken the song to a woman but for me the drama and the multifaceted experiences speaks of their career. The song says, even with all the problems they stood together. In the end the challenges, the ups and downs, are still beautiful, like an opera. Yes, they are saying there is beauty in the music. Well, we all know that. Life is beautiful because of Il Volo!
These lyrics celebrate the beauty and complexity of life, likening it to an opera—a grand, dramatic, and multifaceted experience. The repetition of “opera” emphasizes the significance of life’s unfolding drama.
The speaker reflects on the passage of time, noting that despite the challenges and ups and downs, they have never lost their partner. They attribute this to their ability to make the best of difficult situations and to recognize what truly matters, even with their eyes closed.
The imagery of dodging rain and lightning together, like two boxers, suggests the resilience and unity of facing life’s adversities. I acknowledge that life can be scary at times, but they find comfort in the understanding that it is as beautiful as an opera—a metaphor for the richness and depth of human experience.
The speaker recalls moments of strength and resilience, laughing in the face of fear and surviving despite hardships. They find beauty and meaning in the wrinkles of their mother’s face and in the ordinary moments of everyday life.
Despite the challenges and occasional pain, the speaker concludes that life is still beautiful, like an opera, with its extraordinary songs and moments of illumination. The repetition of the phrase “It’s like poetry, like music” emphasizes the artistic and profound nature of life’s experiences.
It celebrates the richness and complexity of life, acknowledging its challenges while finding beauty, resilience, and meaning in the midst of it all.
Capolavoro, Masterpiece, is truly a masterpiece! When I first heard this song I said, “If I didn’t know better, I would think this song was about Ignazio and Michelle, But, of course, we know the song was written before Ignazio started dating Michelle. I think of Ignazio singing All By Myself, and then there is Michelle. But you have to wonder, how is it these things keep happening to these guys. It’s like a story that plays out every day of their lives. A plan; God’s plan!
This song expresses deep emotions and experiences related to love and connection. The imagery suggests a profound sense of discovery and transformation upon meeting someone special, symbolized by the metaphor of falling from the sky like a masterpiece.
It conveys a sense of awe and gratitude for the presence of this person, describing them as the only light that makes sense and portraying life with them as a masterpiece. There’s a contrast between feelings of being lost and the sudden appearance of this person, bringing clarity and meaning to the speaker’s life.
It celebrates the idea of finding love unexpectedly and the profound impact it has on one’s existence, turning life into a masterpiece of shared experiences and emotions.
So this is how I see some of the new songs. It’s the summation of fifteen years and the prelude to the future. It shows the force that was leading them. The force that led three teenagers to the Ariston stage. The force that took Michele Torpedine to the end of his career only to find himself sitting on a couch looking at a silent TV and finding truth before his eyes. Knowing at once this was what he was looking for his whole life.
Even though the guys did not write the songs, they certainly had some input perhaps this is why these songs can be likened to their lives.
When the forces of fate came together, there was no stopping the wheel!
When we’re born, we step on the wheel of life, and we move forward to our fate!
If you spin the wheel of fortune, where would it land? Would it follow your path in life? It should because that wheel is spun by the hand of God. In the case of our guys, God was always the force behind the guys and obviously behind Michele! On the Ariston stage? On a living room couch? On the edge of the universe?
So, it seems the universe they created is their step into the future! A future that will be as totally amazing as their last fifteen years! The music may be new, and the style may be new, but their hearts remain as always, old hearts that love their fans who have followed them for fifteen years and will follow them into this new universe!
So, let’s take our place Sitting on the Edge of the Universe, and follow the guys to the future!
Happy 15th Anniversary!
For you listening pleasure….
Radio Italia Live Speciale Sanremo su Radio Italia Tv il 14-02-2023
If you would like to share a story with me, please email: susan.flightcrew@yahoo.com
MICHELLE = I’ve chosen who will make my wedding dress!
IGNAZIO= Nooooo
MICHELLE= Yes, Elisabetta Garuffi (stylist) of Tosca (atelier in Bologna)
IGNAZIO= of Tosca!!!
MICHELLE= And I’m going now…
IGNAZIO= That is now, in this moment? …and I can’t come???
MICHELLE= You can’t, you can’t!
In the following video, published on Instagram by Tosca spose, at the beginning we see part of the video with Michelle with Ignazio and then continues with Michelle’s visit to the atelier.
MICHELLE = I didn’t imagine that a dress could excite so much! Thanks to Tosca Spose❤️
IGNAZIO= It’s all starting to take shape! I LOVE YOU
So their beautiful story is progressing well and the preparations for the wedding are also progressing, the date of which is not yet known but I assume it could be this summer…..I can already smell orange blossoms!!
And Ignazio also received great satisfaction:
Giacomo Rossi, a young Italian vocal coach who approached listening to Il Volo by reviewing the covers of Sanremo evening and saying that Il Volo deserved the first prize, declared that he liked them a lot and would review them again and therefore he did so by analyzing MY IMMORTAL that Ignazio sang during the TUTTI PER UNO (ALL FOR ONE) concerts in the Arena. What can I say, big compliments to Ignazio from Giacomo Rossi, but you can read for yourself by activating the subtitles.
For me, I am doubly proud of what Giacomo says, who although Italian did not know Il Volo well but only because of how it had always been presented by the Italian press, furthermore Giacomo Rossi’s usual genre of music is Heavy Metal and therefore a completely different genre from pop – lyrical of our boys, but still as a good and serious vocal coach he recognizes the skill and study of our boys.
Thanks Giacomo Rossi and many compliments to Ignazio. 👏👏👏
Truly beautiful compliments for Ignazio, but he is not the only one who has been the subject of review these days, in fact another Italian vocal coach: Salvatore Cilia, has reviewed Gianluca while he sings Capolavoro alone and here is the final result which I will translate for you!!
Gianluca in 2024 showed off vocal control above the average of Italian singers.
Starting from a half voice, in chest voice (M1), perfectly intoning every single sound.
To then masterfully connect it to a breath-controlled falsetto…. With a voice always forward.
Singing the G3 (a challenging note for a baritone) successively in the Mix without showing any vocal effort.
Maintaining perfect phrasing, changing the dynamics of the sound naturally and confidently….. Without ever disconnecting the breath from the diaphragm.
Really a big difference compared to his beginnings when he was still looking for his vocal identity. RATING 10 AND PRAISE
👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow, what can I say, magnificent and well-deserved review for Gianluca. 👏👏👏
I believe that this is also one of the immediate effects of Sanremo, the greater attention of Italian vocal coaches and I must say that their reviews are beautiful!!
Meanwhile, the release date of the new AD ASTRA CD is approaching and Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca showed us that they are busy signing autographs for the new album.
We hope that sales are high and above all that people like the album, there is a lot of expectation.
The newspapers that published numerous articles and interviews on Il Volo during the Sanremo period continue to publish new interviews and I would like to point out that of the weekly GRAZIA which dedicated its front page to Il Volo.
IL VOLO: Music unites us. Every day we work to be a trio.
Protagonists of the digital cover of Grazia, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca told us about the 15 years of their career, from the luck of the first meeting to the daily work to keep the trio together.
They met as little more than children and today the three guys from Il Volo, Piero Barone, 30, Ignazio Boschetto, 29, and Gianluca Ginoble, 29, celebrate their 15 years of artistic collaboration. It was 2009 when they presented themselves as soloists at the singing talent show for children hosted by Antonella Clerici Ti lascio una canzone on Rai Uno. They didn’t know each other, but the program’s authors thought that a trio of talented little tenors like them could work. And that was their luck.
After the rumors of the last few days that they were in crisis, we met them to create this digital cover and they told us how to live in a trio having different personalities.
The three musicians were the only Italian artists invited by Quincy Jones to We are the World for Haiti in 2010, they sang in front of Pope Francis and sold millions of records. We saw them on stage during the last Sanremo Festival, a competition they won in 2015, and on March 29th they will present their first album of unreleased songs, entitled Ad Astra.
The World Tour will start at the end of April which will also take them to China and Japan, in May they will be protagonists of Tutti Per Uno on Canale 5, four evenings at the Verona Arena with numerous guests. Then from June to September they will be engaged in a 20-date tour in the most spectacular locations in Italy and in autumn they will perform in the main European capitals. When they are not on stage, they live in different places: Gianluca in Abruzzo, Piero divides his time between Bologna and Agrigento and Ignazio in Bologna. And connected via zoom from their respective homes, they tell their stories.
You started singing together at just over 14 years old and are still close, a rarity for a successful group. What’s your secret?
Ignazio: The passion for music and for our work.
Gianluca: Ours was an arranged marriage, like those that were used in the past, with the luck that we then truly fell in love. Because you can only continue if you feel love and passion for the people around you and if you really believe in the project. Aside from historical groups, many bands have actually broken up. We are different, but there is always dialogue between us. Each of us has our own personality: in difference and contrast there is growth.
Piero: When I walk down the street with my friends I often hear people whispering, “Look, it’s the guy from Volo”. Usually they don’t even remember our last name. But that’s right, it doesn’t matter, because our goal was and is to be the Volo trio. And every morning we work for this. Living together is different, requires commitment and involves a certain maturity. Aside from a few misunderstandings, when there is a lot of confidence we can tell each other frankly what we think. We have always been used to open dialogue and have never held grudges, we are satisfied with our path together and we will continue for many years in the future. I always say that, if one day I meet my soulmate, I already know the rules for a lasting relationship: respect, listening and compromise.
How would you describe yourself?
Ignazio: Piero is perspicacious, stubborn, ambitious and altruistic, all strengths that can also become flaws. Gianluca is the perfectionist of the group, very attentive to details and stubborn at industrial levels. All these characteristics unite us, because I am like that too, only for me I would add that I am a little touchy. We had the great fortune of recognizing our talents very early and of being in the same place, at the same time on that show. And after leaving the talent show we had a film life.
You have become very popular all over the world, including in China and Japan. What is the thing that struck you most about Japanese culture?
Ignazio: Great respect for people. During the first concert in Tokyo, on stage I said to Piero: “Look, they’re asleep”. Instead they had their eyes closed, absorbed by the music, and at the end of the song they applauded.”
Piero: We went to China in 2015 and sang for their New Year’s Eve, we went to Japan several times and that country changed me.
Gianluca: Abroad they really like our music. In Japan they also love a certain type of Italian elegance, like that of many artists who have made history, from Luciano Pavarotti to Frank Sinatra. Now Italian music is moving in opposite directions and even we, who are only 30 years old, have decided to take some risks by putting ourselves out there and trying to do what we have never done. In the last album there is a duet with Irama, one of the most beautiful pieces on the album, which contains all unreleased songs.
Where did the title Ad Astra come from?
Gianluca: As in the Latin saying “Per aspera ad astra”, through sacrifice you reach the stars and all your goals. It was a message we wanted to send to the younger ones. We also talk about life, how we have built the sense of the group in these 15 years of career and our personal growth.
Piero: Today we think that we can achieve a lot very easily and we think more about money. When I was little I don’t remember any numbers, our dream was to sing. I’m not saying that everyone should sacrifice themselves to reach a goal, but it’s right to know.
Have you always been so wise?
Ignazio: The education we received at home certainly helped us, but it was also the life we have led up to here, traveling and getting to know the world in its thousand facets, that made us grow faster.
Gianluca: We’re also a little crazy. We have been traveling since we were 14, we eat everything without problems, we have been to Rio De Janeiro at least 15 times, to America 50 times. At 30 we have already lived a hundred lives.
Piero: For this reason we could live anywhere and traveling has taught us to be open to other cultures. The traveler is always ready to accept what a place, a people, a culture offers you. But in the East I will struggle to eat jellyfish again: they are my terror when I dive into the water.
And now I propose this short video of Il Volo with Alexa (voice assistant), very nice, Ignazio Piero and Gianluca spoke with Alexa and now they listen to their messages recorded in all the Alexas in Italy.
For one day, anyone in Italy who has Alexa can listen to the voices of Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca directly in their home, I have Alexa and I did it, it was exciting. 🥰
ALEXA= Good morning, today is a truly incredible day, the three guys from Il Volo came to visit me in my cloudy sky. I’ll leave the microphone to you, the stage is all yours!
IGNAZIO= Good morning everyone, we wanted to thank you for all the support and love you sent us during the festival.
PIERO= We came by to say hello and to tell you that our new Sanremo single, Capolavoro, is contained in our first new album of unreleased songs entitled AD ASTRA
GIANLUCA= And it will be released on March 29th. We can’t wait for you to listen to it. We’ll talk to you very soon, but in the meantime you can continue listening to Capolavoro.
ALEXA= Legendary!! If you want to listen to it, ask me: Play Capolavoro!
Little thing, while yet another car advertisement was scrolling on TV, something caught my attention…..but of course, the background music is Capolavoro!!
And now this final gem, when Il Volo was at Iene, recorded this reading of comments on Il Volo. This video was published by Le Iene now and it is truly hilarious. I think Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio had no idea what they were supposed to read, because their reaction is really big laughter, and it’s nice to see them so self-deprecating. There’s a lot to laugh about!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
1) GIANLUCA= Great those of Il Volo who carry the name of Italy high in the world. My favorite is Ethan, but Damiano isn’t bad either…. (these are the names of two of Maneskin’s singers) 🤣🤣🤣
We also have Victoria (the female guitarist of Maneskin…. but it’s Ignazio), look how she has changed! 😂😂😂
PIERO= Our version of Victoria 😂🤣
2) IGNAZIO= One thing in four, with those of Il Volo…..can it be done or VOLO (flight) with the imagination?? 😂😂😂
No! Fly (in Italian: vola) away, no, no…..😂😂😂
3) PIERO= But since Il Volo is so popular abroad…..why do we want it back??🤣🤣🤣
We have an Italian passport!🤣🤣🤣
4) GIANLUCA=
Gianluca the handsome 😍
Piero the good 🥰
Ignazio the bastard 😱
When I see them I need the defibrillator. 🤣😂🤣
PIERO= No, you need an ophthalmologist 😂🤣😂
5) PIERO= Can I get engaged to Il Volo?
In the sense that I get engaged to each of the three in turn? Are you jealous?😍😂
IGNAZIO= I would be busy, so no. 😉
GIANLUCA= I’m here in the summer (in the sense that he’s available in the summer) 😂
PIERO= Me all year round. 🤣
6) I+P= My favorite band? IL Volo
My favorite writer? Fabio Volo (an Italian writer)
My biggest fear? The flight (Il volo in Italian)
Are you saying I have a problem?
PIERO= Yes. 😂
GIANLUCA= I would say yes.😂
7) IGNAZIO= Il Volo is about to disband…..?I want to hear a loud NO from the chest!
PIERO= This thing has come out that Il Volo is breaking up, I don’t know who spread it, but it’s not true. 🙄 Where are we going alone? 👏
IGNAZIO= I’m just telling you that the wind takes words away, the facts remain. The facts: we are together. 👏👏👏
GIANLUCA= And we are not facts. (play on the pun) 😂😂😂
8) GIANLUCA= But do you think Il Volo was annoyed by Angelina Mango’s victory? (lei è la vincitrice di Sanremo) In my opinion, yes! 😁😤😤
PIERO= He nods his head. 😁
IGNAZIO= We didn’t get angry because she won, but because someone else won and not us! 🤪😤
GIANLUCA= No it’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true, because otherwise people think: “presumptuous, they always want to win” 😂😂
IGNAZIO= Yes, yes yes!! 😂
PIERO= But if you wanted to win…(to Gianluca) 😁
GIANLUCA= It’s not true! 🙄
IGNAZIO= We argue again, so then they say we broke up!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
There are many appointments in the next few days for Il Volo, intense days of commitments and therefore there will be many posts to read.
Stay with us, we will try to satisfy all your curiosities.
This is a duplicate post. The first one would not allow comments to be made on the blog site. We are still trying to figure out why that happened.
Today I really want to shine the spotlight on Ignazio and Michelle, the beautiful loving couple who are also taking our hearts.
We left them happy after Ignazio’s marriage proposal and a little lost sight of or followed marginally given the numerous commitments of Sanremo.
Michelle accompanied Ignazio to Sanremo.
Here they are together on the final evening of Sanremo and Michelle writes “Proud of you my love ❤️. I LOVE YOU!!!!!”
Here in the room with friends, and Caterina and Nina while they wait for the performance of Il Volo.
And we saw them together during Gianluca’s birthday party.
During the various interviews, to those who asked about the date of the wedding, Ignazio was evasive, but made it clear that it could be more imminent than what had been said at the beginning, that is, not next year, but this summer.
But then there was a photo shoot posted by the two lovers and signed by a wedding photo agency…….it’s true that these pre-wedding shoots are done to photograph the couple’s life before the upcoming wedding and they can even be done months before the event date.
But here they are, beautiful in some shots. ❤️❤️
But how beautiful they are together. 😍😍
Of course, everything was so fast that it didn’t even give us time to get used to the idea that one of the members of Il Volo would get married soon.
I don’t know about you but seeing Ignazio and Michelle so happy embraced gives me a sense of joy, of great love, it’s certainly the first impression, but then it will be time that will tell us if we got it right!
Then they got a tattoo together, writing EXISTE❤️ on their forearms and here they are together with the person who made the tattoo.
But then, on Sunday 18th, Ignazio published this beautiful photo with the words -7 I LOVE YOU ❤️❤️
This message shocked the fandom because everyone thought of an imminent wedding???
According to Italian bureaucracy, for civil marriage it takes at least 30 days after the banns have been displayed and for religious marriage even more time.
So we don’t know what to expect, but in any case it will be great news!!😍😍
Therefore, with all the affection of us fans who love Il Volo and who see happiness in Ignazio’s eyes and attitudes, we join the chorus of voices to wish Ignazio and Michelle a splendid journey as a couple in love!

As soon as we got used to the idea that Ignazio was in love again with great pleasure, the web was flooded with beautiful photos of Ignazio asking for Michelle’s hand and her beloved response!!
But let’s try to understand who Michelle Bertolini is.
She was born in Caracas on 15 June 1994 to an Italian father and a Venezuelan mother, therefore she is Italian-Venezuelan and is the same age as Ignazio.
She was a professional tennis player, but in 2012, due to a knee injury, she was forced to abandon that path as a professional tennis player which was proving to be particularly promising for her.
She is a beautiful girl and therefore began a modeling career, which culminated in 2013, she excelled in the Miss Venezuela International beauty contest, winning the scepter and crown.
After sports and beauty pageants, Michelle is building her career as an entrepreneur. She and her brother founded the Kiko Sake Sushi by Bertolini restaurant in Caracas.
In the photo the staff of Kiko Sake Sushi. The tall man in Michelle’s side is her brother Enrico Tiziano Bertolini, with whom he runs the restaurant.
She also imports Italian wine into Venezuela, where she currently lives.
This photo was published by the Consulate General of Italy in Caracas, with this comment:
Happy 🤩 to have conversed with @michbertolini, Italian entrepreneur and sportswoman 🇮🇹 born in 🇻🇪. A former tennis champion, she was Miss 🇻🇪 Internacional 2013. Today she imports high quality Italian @bertoliniwine 🍷🍾 wines in 🇻🇪. Michelle is one of the many splendid examples of compatriots abroad who contribute to the growth of the economy 🇮🇹.”
But now we come to our Ignazio.
I would say he is in love with love and when he knows he is reciprocated, he throws himself into the relationship.
Can I say that, apart from some brief intermediate flirtations, there were four important female figures in Ignazio’s life, the first was Francesca Angileri, but they were both two kids, their relationship ended in 2015.
Then came his first adult relationship, with Alessandra Di Marzo, from 2016 to 2019.
So Ana Paula Guedes from 2021 to June 2022.
And now, the place in Ignazio’s heart belongs to the beautiful Michelle.
Distance is certainly a big problem, it was with Ana Paula, and in my opinion it was a wall that could not be overcome, in fact Ana Paula did not come here to Italy, or at least there was no news like that.
But I believe that the two of them broke up by mutual agreement and as good friends, in fact the breakup dates back to June 2022 and Il Volo was in Brazil on tour last year and fondly met Ana Paula and her family, a clear sign that they remain in good friendship.
But it seems that for Michelle the distance is not a big problem, because she lives here and also in Venezuela, and she has relatives here in Italy and her work as an exporter of Italian wines also requires her presence here too.
In fact, after Christmas spent in Venezuela, complete with Ignazio’s declaration of love, she followed him here to Italy.
She was with him at the Crotone concert.
Nina also loves Michelle, she published this photo with this dedication: “I am the happiest sister and sister-in-law in the world.
When two such pure and beautiful souls meet, they are destined to be together for life. I love you two !! ❤️❤️”
Yes, truly two beautiful souls Ignazio and Michelle, in fact in Venezuela they visited the pediatric hospital DOMINGO LUCIANI, and brought donations.
The former beauty queen @michbertolini and her new partner @ignazioboschetto who is a renowned singer of the Italian musical group @ilvolomusic were at the @hdr_domingoluciani carrying milk, diapers for the children of the neonatal unit of this hospital, they were accompanied by the renowned stylist @carlosaguilar85 who, with his foundation @fundacionpadrinossinlimites, was in charge of making the link to bring said donations to the institution.
They were received by the hospital’s public relations committee and its director, Dr. Maurilia Guzmán @Dramaurilinaguzman, who highlighted how grateful they were for this help that benefits many sick children in said hospital unit and commented on the importance of these collaborations for the hospital. and advocates that these good actions be encouraged.
In the video, Ignazio introduces Michelle and Carlos and thanks Carlos for accompanying them to give a smile to those in need.
Carlos says he is enchanted by Ignazio and Michelle, he thanks them for holding this noble heart and coming to give this gesture to the children of the Domingo Luciani hospital in Caracas Venezuela.
Michelle says hello to everyone.
But this is not the first time Michelle has gone to this hospital, in fact, she has already volunteered her work on other occasions.
This video dates back to the period immediately after her election as Miss Venezuela 2013.
And here is the complete Bertolini family.
And here are Ignazio and Michelle, beautiful and shining with love and happiness on January 5th in Trieste, the city where Michelle’s father lives.
Here with her uncle’s family.
With her make-up friend
A beautiful story and a beautiful couple, Ignazio and Michelle.
Ignazio has always said that he would like to start a family and have children.
He’s no longer a kid, I think it’s a well-considered desire and it seems that the love relationship with Michelle, even if it’s quite recent, is very serious.
We wish them both great happiness and let’s give time to time, in the meantime let’s enjoy their beautiful love. ❤️❤️
