Il Volo a Monopoli: the dream concert organized by the Association. The Missing Piece
The event in Cala Batteria was a triumph and will remain in the hearts and memories of the spectators.
The fabulous musical trio of Il Volo arrives in Monopoli reaching the stage by boat, by sea. This is how the concert of the “Tutti per uno-Capolavoro tour” began, amid thunderous applause from the large audience in attendance.
A true enchantment among the musicians’ songs and other interpretations of immortal hits that have made the history of Italian music, with tributes to great artists.
Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero, the three Italians who bring the Italian “Bel canto” around the world, accompanied by a splendid orchestra, were able to truly excite that small but evocative part of Monopoli, Cala Batteria, the location that hosted this great show of the music and that the whole world could admire.
An extraordinary intuition therefore that of the Il Tassello Mancante Association, organizer of the event, the only date of the tour in Puglia. “The first to believe in it with us was Pasquale Vurro – the organizers declare – an authentic concert magician, betting on the uniqueness of this event just a few days before his painful death…”.
As further confirmation of the success achieved, the avalanche of post-event satisfaction certificates expressed on the Association’s Facebook page by spectators who also praised the high organizational level.
Il Tassello Mancante thanks the public present and all those who in any way made this event possible, from the sponsors to those responsible for complex but unique logistics such as that of Cala Batteria.
15 years after their debut, Il Volo will celebrate the musical milestone achieved with a world tour with a series of concerts, which will also take them to Dubai, Athens, Barcelona, Sofia and London in the autumn.

Ruins Theatre. Closing like a “Masterpiece” with Il Volo

Record with Il Volo in “Capolavoro Tour – Tutti per Uno” at the Teatro dei Ruderi in Cirella. We receive and publish the press release.
Yesterday, in the archaeological area of Cirella Antica, an important page of history was written for the live show in Calabria with the concert of the Musical Trio that brought Italy into the world.
An unprecedented festival masterfully directed by Alfredo De Luca, created with the contribution of the Calabria Region and the patronage of the Municipality of Diamante. Yesterday, with Il Volo, the event that involved the entire Riviera dei Cedri, reached 45,000 spectators from all over Italy and abroad. A live performance that enchanted the entire audience present with over two hours of setlist, ranging from tributes to Lucio Dalla and Ennio Morricone up to the pieces that made the trio famous throughout the world such as “Grande Amore” and “Capolavoro”. The trio is made up of two tenors and a baritone: Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble. They were the first Italian artists to have signed a direct contract with an American major label, Geffen. A Diamante standing ovation with a riot of applause for the concert that concluded the 2024 summer program. Local musicians were also involved in the show, within the orchestra that accompanied the trio for the entire concert.
The artistic director Alfredo De Luca, together with the Mayor of Diamante Achille Ordine, awarded the prize for best live with orchestra to the artists who managed to combine a classical repertoire with modern style and arrangements, including pop songs revisited in a classical key. De Luca finally concludes: “An important page has been written in the live entertainment of our region. Very strong media impact for the entire national festival. A year of programming to stage 14 live shows with artists of national and international caliber, one after the other. A clear message that reaches everyone, Calabria can open the doors to the best live shows around. It certainly wasn’t easy, great credit for the organizational machinery goes to the police, who deployed all their skills, in ordinary and extraordinary hours, to facilitate the influx and outflow of all the public. The biggest thanks goes to the public, willing to reach the archaeological area by traveling many kilometers by car, on foot, by bus, by train or by taxi to attend the concerts, spectators coming from all parts of the nation and beyond. Accommodation facilities full until the end of August, dispelling the myth of the central part of the month being an important tourist figure.
We must always try to activate synergies to ensure that the regional territory grows more and more. Thanks also to the local authorities involved and the municipal administration of Diamante who contributed to making the event one of the most important of the South”.
The TEATRO DEI RUDERI published these beautiful words:
Il Volo enchanted the audience at the Teatro dei Ruderi with an evening of pure musical magic! From the power of the biggest hits to the delicacy of the most modern songs, the trio has demonstrated once again why they are among the best of their genre. Each song was a masterpiece of elegance and virtuosity.
And here are Ignazio Piero and Gianluca with the nice prize they received.
But let me say that one of the most touching moments of the concert was this, when two boys, Graziano and  Mirko and I approached the stage and attracted Piero’s attention.
They asked to sing a verse from IL MONDO. And our generous boys didn’t have it repeated.
Enjoy this video and the skill of these two kids, who definitely don’t like rap!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Mirko published this photo with these beautiful words:
@mirkoofficialmusic Today I find myself writing these words with a heart full of gratitude. Realizing this dream, which I have nurtured for so long, is one of the most intense and fulfilling experiences of my life. There were moments when I thought it was just an illusion, an aspiration too great for me. But every time I doubted, there was someone of you ready to encourage me, to remind me how important it was not to give up.
I know that the road is long and this is just one of the many stages that gives me the strength and courage to look to the future with enthusiasm.
Thank you very much to all of you. I look forward to continuing to share the successes to come with you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH Il Volo ❤️❤️
Truly a beautiful moment, thanks also to the generosity of Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio and the skill of Mirko and Graziano!! ❤️

Grand finale for the Roccella Summer Festival 2024 with Il Volo: an extraordinary success.

The Roccella Summer Festival ended in style with the Il Volo concert, a highly anticipated event that sealed the success of this year’s music festival. After a season full of emotions, which featured prominent artists such as Biagio Antonacci, Annalisa, the Pooh and Mahmood, the Teatro al Castello di Roccella Jonica hosted the last unmissable date of the trio’s summer tour, entitled “Tutti per uno – Masterpiece”.
Il Volo enchanted the audience with a memorable concert, in which songs from their new album “Ad Astra” were performed, the first entirely composed of unreleased songs. This work marks an important stage in the artistic evolution of the group, which has been able to expertly mix unreleased pieces with the greatest successes of the Italian musical tradition and their consolidated repertoire. The live performance represented a true musical journey, celebrating the trio’s 15-year career, which began 2024 with the song “Capolavoro”, certified Gold after its presentation at the 74th edition of the Sanremo Festival.
Yesterday evening saw enthusiastic and warm participation from the public, who filled the suggestive open-air theatre, confirming once again the great appreciation for the event, created thanks to the collaboration between Ticket Service Calabria and the administration municipality of Roccella Jonica. The Roccella Summer Festival has established itself as one of the flagship events of the Calabrian summer, supported by the Calabria Region as part of the 2024 cultural promotion events, financed with Pac 2014/2020 resources and by the Calabria Straordinaria brand.
After this extraordinary closure, Il Volo will continue its summer tour with further dates in the most fascinating locations in Italy, and then move, in autumn, to the main European capitals and, in 2025, to the United States, Canada and Latin America. The Roccella Summer Festival, with a very high-level programming, has proven once again to be a reference event for the promotion of culture and music in Calabria.
Other shots of the evening.

This video is also very nice for TV, turn on the subtitles.

And so three more concerts ended and I would say with great success and a participating and enthusiastic audience.
I’m so happy to see people so involved and read so many nice comments.🥰
Our three young men have to run further south, Sicily awaits them, there are the two concerts in Agrigento which I think we will know little about.
But we have resources, because a friend of ours from Canada is going to both concerts so…….😉
For now there is only a lot of controversy about these two concerts and as usual the Italian press is fueling these stupid controversies with sometimes grotesque articles which are mainly for the organization of the two concerts, but which consequently also affect Il Volo. 🤬
Fortunately, Il Volo and all the staff do not respond to these useless attacks, no comments from them who seem not to care about these inappropriate articles.
That’s all for now, talk to you soon: Daniela 🤗

PALMANOVA-MONTECARLO-TORRE DEL LAGO by Daniela

Where were we? The last three concerts before the August break.

31 July:  Palmanova

The beautiful star-shaped city, with a polygonal plan with nine points, a fortified military citadel, in ancient times surrounded by walls, or rather bastions, and turrets or “armors” at the corners, truly remarkable.

LA CURA (Gianluca)

You all heard the unrest that occurred in Venezuela after the elections and before the song Hallelujah Ignazio made this beautiful and sweet dedication:
“If you allow me this evening I would like to personally dedicate this next song to everything that is happening in Venezuela, now you know that for me it is family (applause) and not all information reaches the world and this next song is for them, for those who have suffered , for those who are suffering, and for those who have unfortunately already left us, we would like to invite you to turn on your cell phone flashes because who knows, maybe they are seeing us from up there.”
In response, Michelle published this photo with this dedication:
“Thank you my love @ignazioboschetto for dedicating this song and raising your voice for our Venezuela!!!”
And now a delightful moment in the company of Olivia who brings us a sweet smile. 😍

GRANDE AMORE final piece

August 3:  MONTE CARLO

The concert will be held in the beautiful Salle Des Etoiles.
The concert will be opened by Lara Ferrari, an Italian singer who posted the photo with this dedication:
“It was a great emotion to open the beautiful Il Volo concert in the splendid Salle Des Ètoiles of the prestigious Sporting Club Monte Carlo with my big brothers Sugarpie & The Candymen.
Thanks guys for the photo and the chat!”
Dinner is also provided for the public present and we all know that the Monte Carlo public is perhaps a little more demanding than the public that crowds out the various concerts, but I can say, after seeing the various videos that the public certainly appreciated the great skill singing and entertaining by Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca!

And this is it for the last three concerts before the two-week summer break, it resumes on August 24th with the concert in MONOPOLI (Bari).
But the news doesn’t end here, because Il Volo has announced new dates that it will hold in January in the sports halls in Italy, here they are:
So the concert program in Italy intensifies long before leaving to come to you in the US. 😉
But this is not the only news. 😉
A Sicilian city: Agrigento (which is also the province where Piero lives), is a candidate to be the Capital of Culture next year and therefore to promote the event they thought of filming a nice concert by Il Volo in the beautiful Valle dei Temples and exactly in front of the Temple of Concordia. This project has taken shape and the concert is scheduled for August 31st. Since the square contains few people, around 500, and the video is sponsored by the Municipality of Agrigento and therefore free, entry by invitation was considered and Il Volo therefore sent an email to those registered in the fan club to invite them to sign up. this opportunity. It’s truly a beautiful gift for anyone who can be present at this concert!!

Temple of Concordia

And this is the email that went to all the fan club members.
But, do you remember that Il Volo said they were going to film a PBS special filmed in Egypt with the pyramids? Unfortunately, the very tense situation in the Middle East caused this beautiful event to be cancelled.
It is also thought that this event in Agrigento could also be used for the PBS special, but this is not yet confirmed.
The Agrigento Notizie newspaper talks about two concerts, one on August 31st and the other on September 1st. It is also thought that this event in Agrigento could also be used for the PBS special, but also for the Canale 5 Christmas special, but these two latest news has not yet been confirmed, so we will follow developments.
Here is the article from Agrigento Notizie:

Concert of Il Volo in the Valley of the Temples, 2 dates: it remains to be clarified who will be able to attend.

With the regional decree of recent days, the bureaucratic procedures are unblocked for an event that will be more advertising than musical.
The first details of one of the “highlight” events of the city’s preparation for the year of capital of culture 2025 are starting to leak out, albeit informally: the Il Volo concert in the Valley of the Temples.
An initiative that will in all respects be more advertising than musical in itself, so much so that in the decree signed in recent days by the Sicilian Region, with which 500 thousand euros are allocated to support the event, it is linked to the promotion on TV between Italy and the United States. This is because the concert by Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble will take place on two dates, August 31st and September 1st, in favor of cameras: a show will be filmed to then be broadcast on Mediaset channels during the Christmas period, The other one will be used for US TV.
What still needs to be understood is whether and how it will be possible for the public to attend the concerts. The location, probably the esplanade in front of the Temple of Concordia, will not be able to accommodate more than 400 people and it is not yet known how they will be selected: the hypothesis of an invitation-only event is the most accredited, while it seems very unlikely that an initiative of this type could be open access.
The economic aspect also needs to be defined: if it is true that the decree approved in recent days allocates 500 thousand euros with funds from the cultural heritage department, the overall cost of the operation should exceed one million euros, with other resources coming from national and regional governments as well as the archaeological park.
And this is all for the moment, I would say that our boys don’t have a moment of peace, I hope that at least in these very hot days of August they will be able to rest a little and regain their energy.
My Sicilian holiday went very well, I only went to Palermo and Cefalù. In Palermo I was staying right next to the Cathedral from where Il Volo sang on July 15th. From my bedroom window I could have seen them very well without even moving. It’s a shame that when I booked the days of my stay, nothing was known about this further commitment of Il Volo in Palermo.
But that’s okay, the important thing is to always have good and positive news from our beloved boys.
See you soon: Daniela 🤗
