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 🤗
