After a few days’ break, the European tour resumes, with the first stop being Romania.
November 23, ORADEA
The concert was held in the Oradea Arena.
I found this video that shows the entire concert, there are also some funny moments and a very sweet moment with Luca, a child in the audience, who sings a short piece of Capolavoro with them!
On November 24, BG Sound Stage (concert organizer) released this statement:

AMOR VIDA DE MI VIDA
IL MONDO
Here’s what Prestige MJM (the concert organizer) posted:
It was a magical evening with Hala Stulecia on Il Volo and a moving audience meeting the loving trio of absolute love! The songs fans have been waiting for all year, including the biggest hit “Grande Amore” – twice. 🙌❤️
The artists’ return to Poland confirmed the unique bond they have with our fans: the concert was bursting with emotion. 🔥💫
Polish audiences have a special place in Il Volo’s hearts! ❤️ Every performance of theirs in our country is a meeting full of authentic emotions. 😇
Look how beautiful these photos were taken by our friend Alicja!!!
Il Volo leaves Poland, next stop Bulgaria.
November 28 SOFIA
The concert was at Arena 8888.
As I’ve already explained, the concert will be recorded and broadcast on Canale 5 on Christmas Day, so in addition to the scheduled songs, Christmas carols will also be performed, and the arena will be decorated for the holidays.
I don’t want to spoil the Christmas surprise too much, especially since I’ll be showing you the entire Christmas concert later, so I’ll just show you the beginning. 😉
INCANTO DI NATALE!!
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO
How wonderful, what a wonderful Christmas atmosphere with the stained-glass windows illuminating a heavy snowfall, and what a wonderful opening song, superbly performed by our treasures, showing off their beautiful voices.
I won’t suggest anything else related to Christmas, even though I’m eager to see more videos. But be patient, Christmas is just around the corner!
How lucky the Bulgarian audience was to have witnessed this magnificent concert! I’m truly happy for them.
But there’s some news.
Il Volo announces that they’ll be back in Mantua in September for three evenings of TUTTI PER UNO, which will be broadcast on Canale 5.
Ticket advance sales are already open.
First of all, I want to apologize for the delay in updating you.
My daughter is moving, and I’m busy helping her, and Il Volo has concerts so hectic it’s hard to keep up with them.
Lots of great news and so many successes. I think Il Volo is doing a truly fantastic European tour, and the love they’re receiving everywhere is priceless.
And what can I say about Incanto di Natale, a concert that looks fantastic and that we’ll be savoring in its entirety during these holidays?
I have another piece of good news (especially for me): the Brescia newspaper has published the names of the singers performing in Brescia, my hometown….and Il Volo is among them!!!! I’m so happy about this, but for now, it’s news that needs to be confirmed by Il Volo.
Prestige MJM who promoted the concert wrote as follows: “Great voices, timeless music and a fantastic atmosphere – all this was filled in Atlas Arena at tród ponad at the concert of the Italian trio Il Volo 🙌😍
Wonderfully harmonious sounds and wonderful arrangements touched the hearts of the assembled audience. ❤️
This was Il Volo’s sixth concert in Poland. 🇵🇱
On stage the singers were accompanied by the incomparable Orkiestra Akademii Beethovenowskiej. 🎼”
29 October PORTUGAL
The concert was held in LISBON in the Aula Magna.
It is the first time that Il Volo performs in Portugal.
NELLE TUE MANI
Piero introduces their Portuguese translator: Ignazio! Ignazio says he hasn’t spoken Portuguese for a long time, and his Portuguese is more Brazilian Carioca. Well done Ignazio, who still conquers the Portuguese public! 🥰
A moment from the presentation of the song SE by Morricone. The speech between Piero and Ignazio was hilarious and I don’t understand it but from the laughter and applause it must have been very much appreciated by the audience!! 😂
LA DONNA È MOBILE (great applause and the final hug of a sweet grandmother)
I can say that Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca have entered the hearts of Portugal fans. Great empathy, great applause, great affection, great love!! 🥰
The Orquestra Pop Portuguesa that accompanied Il Volo published these beautiful words:
Accompanying Il Volo means being sure that we will participate in an unforgettable show. There were about 25 songs, 2 hours of show, 3 singers whose performance received an enthusiastic standing ovation at the end of each song. Unconditional characters who demonstrate enormous affection for Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble, who interact with the audience in an excellent way, taking advantage of the fact that Ignazio speaks sweet Portuguese with the Brazilian Carioca accent as he says. Il Volo also introduced us to the engaging and fascinating voice of Cecille, a student of Andrea Bocelli, who ended her performance in tears, such was the emotion and dedication in her performance.
They make us all enjoy with their art and with each song the feelings come to the fore: we dream, we sing, we dance, we laugh and even we cry. Music is culture, but it is also entertainment and the 3 singers bridge the gap between these two aspects impeccably! For Orquestra Pop Portuguesa, under the direction of maestro Élio Anes Leal , it was a moment to repeat, especially because between Il Volo and OPP a Great Love was born. Stay tuned for the next posts… we have a surprise for all of you!
These are the words of the concert promoters: LAST TOUR PORTUGAL.
“Combining opera and pop in a unique way, @ilvolomusic sold out the emblematic Aula Magna in Lisbon and thrilled the audience with their voices, greatest hits and timeless classics. 🎼💫 Thank you ✨”
31 October FRANCE
The concert was held in PARIS in the Salle Pleyel.
It’s been a long time since Il Volo returned to Paris, furthermore a live radio connection and streaming with RADIO ITALIA was planned.
Also in radio connection also Radio ONE London but alsoICN Radio for New York and on DAB radio for Scotland.
The beginning of the concert and a collage of songs.
I don’t know about you, but I really like hearing guys speak French, I understand almost nothing but I like listening to them. 🥰
As I told you, the concert in Paris was live on radio with Radio Italia (Italy), London ONE Radio (England) and ICN Radio New York, for U.S. and these are the greetings and thanks given live at the end of the concert by Ignazio.
Paris: Il Volo make a concert masterpiece. Thanks from the stage to London ONE radio, Radio Italia and ICN for the live broadcast at the same time
London (Paolo Criminelli) Great success for Il Volo at the concert in Paris, an extraordinary event that marked a historic stage for the radio world.
A historic fact for radio
For the first time, London ONE Radio broadcast the entire concert simultaneously withRadio Italia Solo Musica ItalianaandICN Radio in New York, creating a musical bridge between Europe and the United States and spreading the art and passion of Italian music to international level.
From the prestigious stage of the Salle Pleyel, Il Volo fascinated the audience with a selection of songs that ranged from Ennio Morricone’s masterful compositions to their most beloved hits, including “Capolavoro” and the emotional “Grande Amore”. The trio of tenors — Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble — gave an impeccable performance, winning the hearts of Parisian spectators and thousands of listeners tuned in from all over the world.
The audience responded with warm applause, while London ONE Radio fans followed the event from England, actively participating with comments and posts on social media to share their emotion in real time. This simultaneous broadcast between three major broadcasters represented a unique radio experiment, aimed at celebrating Italian music and bringing its beauty to different corners of the planet at the same time.
The concert not only highlighted the expressive power of Il Volo, but also underlined the strength of radio as a means capable of connecting cultures and generations, precisely on the centenary of its birth and on the tenth anniversary of London ONE Radio. “We couldn’t have received a better gift,” declared the management of London ONE Radio, highlighting the pride and satisfaction for this memorable initiative.
On stage, Il Volo wanted to thank the broadcasters involved: “Special thanks to London ONE Radio, Radio Italia,andICN Radio for making this extraordinary experience possible”, they said, while the audience’s applause became increasingly intense.
The event demonstrated how Italian music, supported by extraordinary voices and innovative radio collaboration, is capable of creating global connections, breaking down barriers and providing emotions without borders. A triumph that will remain imprinted in the history of music and radio.
The tour is going great so far and there are only three concerts left and then this tiring tour which has involved Europe and Dubai will also be over in a few days.
I am so happy that all the audiences who filled the concert venues were so loving and satisfied with our young men.
Surely you have already seen photos of Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio together with a man with sunglasses , and you have wondered who he is. Here they are.
This is Nicolò De Devitiis and he is part of LE IENE, which is an Italian television program on Canale 5 where the hosts always wear black suits and often sunglasses. Our boys have already been guests of LE IENE, or rather co-hosts and it was a lot of fun. So get ready because Nicolò followed Il Volo for 48 hours and a special will surely be born which will be included in an episode on Canale 5. We will keep you updated!!
That’s all for now, see you very soon!!
Daniela 🤗
As you all know, Quincy Jones, a great person in the field of music, died on November 3, may he rest in peace. Let’s remember him with this beautiful photo.
As I had already announced, the TIM MUSIC AWARDS took place live on September 13th in the Verona Arena.
The date of the event was given only recently and Il Volo was invited to collect a prize, but as it was the possible days of Ignazio’s wedding, it was thought that Il Volo would give up, and instead, despite the 12th being the wedding day civil of Ignazio and Michelle, Il Volo participated, even opened the event in the Arena, which was then broadcast on RAI 1.
Greetings from Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca and a short video of the interview with Radio Italia, where they talk about their tour in Japan.
Their rehearsals
And here they are, splendid and always excellent, they opened the television program which began directly with them on stage, they performed a medley composed of short moments of CAPOLAVORO, FRAMMENTI DELL’UNIVERSO and WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER, sensational!!!
The only ones who performed with a real orchestra behind them.
Dressed in a casual-elegant way, Piero, Gianluca and the new groom Ignazio gave a great performance.
At the end of the performance they were joined by the two presenters, Carlo Conti and Vanessa Incontrada who, after the usual greetings and questions, congratulated our young men.
Ignazio admits that it is the first event he has attended as a married man.
Ultimately they send a message of encouragement to young people to always pursue their dreams.
These days right after Ignazio’s wedding party, the weather in Italy was really bad, a lot of rain came for several days and there were also floods.
One of the first days of this weather instability brought a discharge of lightning to Abruzzo and one of these struck the bell tower of Montepagano, 😩 Gianluca’s town, causing damage, and this is why Gianluca made an appeal to the authorities responsible for the restoration work to begin soon.😍
Here’s the video, turn on the subtitles.
And now a nice interview in English from a Polish program.
In September this beautiful song was published, a truly unique duet, of great sweetness and with a great purpose, that of research against cancer.
She is the very sweet and talented Olivia Newton-John, who passed away two years ago. 🙏
A duet with Il Volo wasn’t in the cards, but with technology it could be done.
Let’s listen to this sweet song presented by her friend Jim Brickman.
MY DREAM
And also very sweet are the voices of Gianluca Ignazio and Piero who did not prevail but remained delicate, enhancing Olivia’s beautiful voice even more.
I bet you will struggle to recognize Piero’s non-lyrical voice.
Congratulations, it’s a beautiful and sweet duet. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
PEOPLE magazine talked about the song and its purpose.
Below is a link to Olivia’s Foundation Fund, Beyond Cancer – an independent charity sponsoring global research into plant medicine for cancer. In her video she explains her goal and the ongoing studies to treat cancer. There is a “Donate” button to make a secure donation to her foundation, if you so desire.
Once again we must bow to your projects like this splendid duet with humanitarian purposes, you are a force!
Even though your presence at the Tim Music Awards was quick, you were impeccable, bringing your skill and professionalism to people, because despite your personal commitments you did not miss the event.
But this too is archived and the European tour is getting closer and closer: first date LONDON!!! Good luck!!
Daniela🤗
This post was ready but since the video of Michelle’s promises was published and I promised to give you the translation immediately, I added it here at the bottom. Let me start by saying that Michelle speaks part of the speech in Spanish and I have read the automatic translation, but believe me it doesn’t make much sense, I don’t know Spanish, but as it is quite similar to Italian I try to give you a possible translation, so forgive me for any words not understood.
These words from Michelle are also very beautiful and with a lot of love. ❤️❤️
OFFICIANT= Recognize that love is about understanding, mutual respect and commitment.
Ignazio, do you want to receive Michelle as your bride, live together in union and love and support her, comfort her, respect her, in sickness and in health, in good days and in difficult ones, from today and for the rest of your life.
IGNAZIO= Yes I want it.
OFFICIANT= Michelle, do you want to receive Ignazio as your husband, live together in union and love, to support him and comfort him and respect him in sickness and in health, in good days and in difficult ones, from today and for the rest of your life?
MICHELLE= Yes I want it!
IGNAZIO= Thank goodness!
OFFICIANT= Now Ignazio and Michelle will express their personal promises, the fruit of their love and dedication. Michelle, I’ll turn the floor over to you.
MICHELLE= (she begins the speech in Spanish, I translate the first part as far as I understand, I hope it is correct).
My love, the moment I’ve been waiting for has come, now I can tell you. You don’t know the happiness and pride I have for you who are the love of my life. From the first time I saw you I had no doubt that you were the perfect man that you are and I have no doubt that you will be a good husband and dad. I can’t wait for my love to turn you into a dad. With you I learned that love exists, that it exists and it is so beautiful and exciting every day of life to fall more and more in love, to grow together caring about every detail. It’s a love that I could never imagine but it exists and I want to live it all my life.
(Now she continues in Italian)
I wanted to say thank you to my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, from the first day they made me feel at home and I feel very lucky that you are my family and I am sure that my father-in-law is happy for us and will always protect us from above. (Ignazio wipes away a tear)
My prince, I promise you my faithfulness and loyalty, I promise to love you and make you feel loved every day of my life, that I will take care of you and that I will do my best as a wife, hopefully soon as a mother and for our families. I will always be close to you, my love, and I promise you that there will not be a day in which you will miss a kiss from me. I love you with all of myself, love of my life. (She continues again in Spanish) I love you beyond words, beyond the physical, beyond time and space, I simply love you, above everything in this world!
The first half of July saw our favorites engaged in four concerts in Central-Eastern Europe.
Unfortunately, the concert on July 7 in Zaprešić in Croatia had to be postponed due to bad weather. These are things to put in the possibilities in outdoor concerts. In this case the concert was postponed to July 22nd. We cross our fingers hoping that the weather will be better on July 22nd.
On July 9, Il Volo had a concert in Poland, exactly in Łódź.
Poland welcomed the concert with great love, it was a great success. The event was organized by Prestige, who has a lot of respect and also friendship with our boys.
From the very first moment, Prestige MJM posted photos and comments like these:
The fourth concert of Il Volo in Poland is upon us! Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca have already arrived at the Atlas Arena. They are good friends of ours, so the greeting was friendly.
Then, after the beautiful concert they posted wonderful photos commenting like this:
❤️ Fantastic atmosphere among the audience and the enthusiasm of Il Volo conquered the audience of ❤Łódź, Il Volo Atlas Arena.
❤️ Wonderful voices and thrilling interpretations of famous hits have kept the concert in the memory of all fans for a long time.
Then Prestige also published a beautiful summary video.
Please click on photo below to view the video.
And finally this nice video where there are questions to our guys and people from the Prestige staff and also a radio journalist who expresses their sincere admiration for Il Volo. Really nice words that you can read translated at the bottom of the video itself.
Please click on photo below to view the video.
It was a memorable concert and now we see some great videos of the evening.
😁😁😁
Thanks Alicjia for this great video. 😘
Then Il Volo went to Bulgaria. Three wonderful concerts, with an adoring audience.
July 11, Plovdiv, in the beautiful old theater.
Little Vaja is the happiest child!
This is a press article published after the concert.
The fantastic Gianluca Ginoble, Ignazio Boschetto and Piero Barone appeared on the stage of the Ancient Theater of Plovdiv with the hit ‘The Ecstasy of Gold’ by the unforgettable Ennio Morricone from the film ‘The Good, the Bad, the Ugly’. Other magnificent melodies followed by the famous composer, musician and conductor – author of the music of unforgettable hits in the history of Italian and world cinema, including ‘E più ti penso’ from ‘Once upon a time in America’, from ‘Malena’, ‘Cinema Paradiso’ and others.
“Let’s sing love” – said the magnificent singers with cosmic voices and fascinated the audience of the Ancient Theater with a palette of favorite classical arias. Among these ‘La donna è mobile’ from the beloved opera ‘Rigoletto’ by Giuseppe Verdi, ‘Nessun Dorma’ from Giacomo Puccini’s ‘Turandot’, combined with the timeless songs ‘My way’ by Frank Sinatra, ‘Io che non vivo’ (without you), Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’.
The song ‘Delilah’ by Tom Jones and ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ by Elvis Presley caused a real excitement among the spectators of the Ancient Theater. And with the performance of the song ‘Volare’ Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero made the audience stand up and danced on the ancient seats. This was followed by the success of Lucio Dalla ‘Caruso’, which aroused the adrenaline of music lovers.
Little Vaya, embraced by Gianluca, approached the stage in the midst of the audience. He congratulated the beautiful girl and said that the performance ‘O Sole Mio’ was dedicated to her. The most loved song in the world, created more than 120 years ago by the composer Eduardo di Capua based on the text of the poet and Napoleon admirer Giovanni Capuro, was sung from the entire hall and filled the historic center.
This inspired the wonderful musicians of IL VOLO, and the three went to the public in three of the sectors of the Ancient Theater, where they greeted their fans. Among the guests were admirers from Italy, unfolding national flags, from Greece, Germany, China and others. To applaud their favorite artists, music lovers didn’t sit down until the concert was over and gave their favorite flowers, gifts, sweets, hugs and kisses. This was followed by the wonderful ‘Cheers’ from Verdi’s favorite opera ‘La Traviata’.
And for the finale, as an encore, the magnificent angelic vocalists performed the unique song ‘Grande Amore’.
The wonderful Italians took their leave with the promise that they would return to Plovdiv again. Kisses and hugs.
With the spectacular show, Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero started their tour in Bulgaria entitled ‘IL VOLO SINGS MORRICONE.’
Listen to how pleasant this interview made in Bulgaria is.
And now here are the last two concerts in Sofia, on July 13 and 14, two wonderful concerts full of music and love.
Please click on photo below to view the next video.
Yes, you have seen well, at the end of the video Piero dances with Barbara !!
My goodness, how much joy, how much happiness, how much love Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca gave, but how much love they also received!
People were completely involved, and there were many gestures of affection and admiration.
The tour is proceeding in the best way, but there is no time to rest, next stop: Romania!
But there is also a video for the promotion in Japan, there will be three concerts in August, on the 8th, 10th, 12th.
I am very happy for the fans of Japan, Il Volo is coming !!
Please click on photo below to view the video.
And finally a new Italian concert was announced, on August 22 in Tagliacozzo in Abruzzo, to the delight of Gianluca !!
That’s right, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca: IL VOLO, are leaving for the tour and their destination is AMERICA !!!!
Finally the long-awaited time has arrived, a few more days and they will perform in their first stop in Toronto and then there will be a continuous succession of concerts in different cities.
I think I interpret that the patience of the long wait has left you, and a frenzied agitation has taken over that leads to joy, to finally be able to see them live and to be able to have the emotion of a whole concert with them.
Do you have your tickets ready ??
Please dear friends, to communicate your wishes, write me the date and the city of the concert where you will go and let me know the three absolutely favorite songs of all, which you would certainly like to listen to (they can also be solos). Pat will be able to make a list and ranking of favorite songs.
It will be interesting to find out what you would like to hear.
Are you all ready to dance and sing with Il Volo?
Are you ready for a shot, a warm hug, a sweet kiss, or to make a tug of ears at these tender brats?
How about a hug like this from Piero ???? It would be magnificent!
In this article by Antonella Esposito, the start of the new tour is announced, I translate for you:
The celebrations for the first 10 years of Il Volo’s career continue. The trio that bewitched the world, setting record sales and sell outs, from January 2020 will be engaged in a series of live events. It starts with the “North American Tour”. From 28 January to March the Il Volo boys will perform in the most important symbolic places of world music.
Touching sacred temples of art, such as the Radio City Music Hall in New York, (February 6th) Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca will delight the ears and hearts of a multigenerational audience that for a decade now has been following them with affection and admiration. In June and July it will be the turn of Germany and Poland with the addition of new stages to a calendar full of commitments. Summer will mark the return of the group to Italy, with two dates in Verona in August and two dates in September in Taormina.
November and December will sign a really important tour which today has 37 dates, without excluding any additions. Turin, then Milan, to end in the capital on December 4th. A riot of live events not to be missed. Everything is ready for the first stop, on January 28th, in Toronto, from the prestigious Meridian Hall, the guys from Il Volo will perform for the Canadian public. Fasten your seat belts, let’s go. The journey of Il Volo begins, the most important one, the Best of, proud banner of a journey that began 10 years ago and which still today tells credible stories of sacrifice, passion and gratification.
By the way, have you all heard of the beautiful IL VOLO FAN FAIRE DINNER that Jeannette Giglio is organizing for March 15th at The Palms Casino Resortin Las Vegas??
It will be a beautiful event and there will be an opportunity for you fans to get to know each other personally and maybe even some surprises !!
I have another request for you.
For those who go to a concert, please write your impressions, for better or for worse, even a few lines, which we will then publish and it will be interesting to read the differences between one concert and another.
Also tell us about the fans you met at the various concerts.
So Piero Ignazio and Gianluca are closing their bags, in a few hours they will leave.
Are you all ready for your concerts?
It will be awesome!!
I await your comments.
Daniela
