During this period of no concerts, I promised you translations of articles or interviews worthy of translation.
I admit, I missed this wonderful interview, but here I am again to share it with you. It was published in November 2025 in a music magazine: MUSICA INTORNO by Gino Morabito.

IL VOLO: AN OSCAR-WORTHY TRIO
November 21, 2025 by GINO MORABITO
Nine studio albums and four live recordings, totaling twenty million copies sold, a Sanremo Festival win in 2015 with “Grande amore,” and a third-place finish at the Eurovision Song Contest. Amid applause and standing ovations, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble share their story after sixteen years of success. An extraordinary story of talent, passion, and friendship for three young men who took… Il Volo.
Directly from the stage of the Tim Music Awards, the announcement of the return of “Live nei palasport 2026” (produced by Friends & Partners) for five new dates in Italy’s leading arenas. The trio will kick off on December 7, 2026, at the Unipol Forum in Milan and continue on December 12 at the Nelson Mandela Forum in Florence, on December 17 at the Palazzo dello Sport in Rome, on December 19 at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, and will conclude the tour on December 20 at the Unipol Arena in Bologna.
Before these dates, their incredible voices will be the protagonists of “Live in Concert,” a tour that, until December 2025, will touch the main European capitals and Latin America, confirming their status as ambassadors of Italian music around the world.
Ambassadors of bel canto, not with presumption but with great pride.
“The pride of touring our musical and, above all, cultural heritage, to recount the magnificence of those places that are envied around the world.”
As Jim Morrison said, “Don’t settle for the horizon, seek infinity.”
“The goal is to reach an ever-wider audience, continuing to build a special bond with our fans. We can’t wait to get on stage and experience more unique and exciting emotions with them.”
The setlist presents a perfect blend of tradition and innovation that highlights the individual personalities of the three artists. There are also songs from their first album of original songs, “Ad Astra,” including the Sanremo song “Capolavoro,” and their latest single, “Tra le onde.” But also many other hits from their fan-favorite repertoire.
“There’s truly something for everyone! We will embrace our friends from across the border, putting into each performance the same energy and passion that has accompanied us in every concert.”
On stage, the celebration of sixteen years of their career together. A milestone that fills us with pride and gratitude and that, in fact, confirms the deep bond between three child prodigies who, as they grew up, became that magnificent star lighting up the international firmament. In the media-driven age of individualism, it might sound anachronistic, but unity is strength.
“We’ve known each other since we were children, and although each of us has a different personality, there’s a special bond that unites us. This bond allows us to face any challenge together, to support each other in difficult times, and to celebrate successes as a true family. Each concert thus becomes an opportunity to renew our commitment to music and to thank those who have passionately supported us over the years. This tour is also an opportunity to share with the audience everything we’ve learned and experienced. And we don’t stop there.”
There are stories that intertwine, hearts that beat as one, and voices that rise above expectations. Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca’s friendship has evolved over time.
“We’ve grown together. Every concert, every trip, every success, and every challenge has brought us closer together. Being part of this project means sharing every moment, from backstage to the audience’s ovations. It’s not just work; it’s a true family. Our music speaks of us, our experiences, our hopes. It’s our way of connecting with people.”
Someone up there loves them.
“We see a kind of cosmic determinism in it; for us, what was meant to happen happened. At that moment in history, we were meant to meet, someone had to bring us together, as if there were a movement in the universe governing events. It’s beautiful to think that’s how it happened.”
The message is clear: music is a powerful instrument of connection and transformation, capable of making the most intimate chords of our being vibrate. And, as they continue to write their story, the world eagerly awaits the next notes of this Oscar-winning trio, ready to soar once again toward infinity.
Thanks for this wonderful interview, Gino Morabito, and we hope you’ll write more for Il Volo soon!

What can I say?
Kind words for our beloved guys who always manage to amaze us with their fantastic performances.
The Christmas holidays are behind us, and Ignazio is taking advantage of the time to spend with Michelle and Gabriele.
Gianluca had a wonderful vacation in Lapland!
Nothing has leaked about Piero but he is certainly spending wonderful moments in his Naro.
I was about to finish this post when some fresh news arrived.
The Italian newspaper IL RESTO DEL CARLINO celebrates its 140th anniversary this year and has therefore promoted some wonderful initiatives, including one involving Il Volo.
But here I am translating the article for you.
