WORLD TOUR 2026: PORDENONE AND MORE…by Daniela

And so, Il Volo has reached the final scheduled outdoor concert in Italy and Europe.
This concert was a last-minute addition and is truly special, as it took place during the “Pordenone legge” event in the presence of Italy’s highest-ranking official: the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella.
The concert was held at the Teatro Verdi in Pordenone (located in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region of northern Italy). Large screen outside the theater allowed others to watch the concert as well.
The concert began with the Italian national anthem.
At the beginning of the video, you will hear the national anthem performed by Il Volo, opening the evening dedicated to the closing of the Pordenonelegge festival, followed by various speeches, including one by the President. I chose to include this video, even though Il Volo appears only at the start, because it was the only one on YouTube featuring the complete anthem.
The speeches are all excellent and important; those who wish to do so can turn on the subtitles to read them.

After the various speeches, the actual concert begins; here are a couple of short videos.

Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca did not miss the opportunity to step off the stage and shake hands with our President, who congratulated them.

Il Volo posted this message of thanks:
“It was a tremendous honor for us to have the opportunity to perform for President Mattarella at the closing event of pordenonelegge.it.
We are deeply grateful, thank you. 🙏🏻”
Pordenonelegge.it has also published this nice video.

And so, the 2026 outdoor tour chapter concludes with this magnificent official event.
Il Volo is truly at the top of their game!
       
Just the day before this important concert, the BYD Music Awards ceremony took place in Verona, and Il Volo received an award from Assoconcerti.
Il Volo performed only one song, “Nelle tue mani”; here are several videos from Facebook and YouTube.  (Some people may not be able to view the first video from RAI.)

At the end of the performance, Il Volo received a standing ovation that moved the three guys, because it is not easy to achieve such success with a *bel canto* piece in a setting dominated by pop, rap, and trap music.
ASSO CONCERTI AWARDS:
Assoconcerti released this video outlining the reasons for the award:
“During the second night of the BYD Music Awards, AssoConcerti presented a Special Award to Il Volo in recognition of their international career and their ability to bring the Italian musical tradition to the world, reinterpreting it through a contemporary and distinctive style:
‘For successfully revitalizing and sharing the tradition of Italian *bel canto* globally, transforming it into a language capable of uniting different generations, cultures, and countries. AssoConcerti honors three young artists who continue to showcase Italian talent on stages across every continent.’”

Right after the performance, Giulia Salemi asks our guys a question:
“So, what songs do you sing in the shower?”
Ignazio gives a charming response by singing a children’s song. .😁😍

Il Volo was interviewed backstage by Radio Italia (turn on the subtitles).

In this video, Gianluca, Ignazio, and Piero thank the fans of *Sorrisi e Canzoni TV* for their affection and support.

But that’s not all.
On the evening of September 22nd, Canale 5 aired the game show *La Ruota della Fortuna* (Wheel of Fortune). Within the competition, there is a segment called *La Ruota delle Stelle* (Wheel of the Stars), featuring contestants who are stars from the worlds of film, theater, and music. For this special *Ruota delle Stelle* episode, the competitors facing off were Gianluca, Ignazio, and Piero, Il Volo!
The show had been recorded the previous week, and the prize money won in the competition is donated to charity.
I haven’t found a video of the full episode, but I am sharing a few short clips with you here.

It was a really fun, lighthearted moment; our guys were—as always—polite, personable, and engaging.
In the end, they won 30,000 euros, which will be donated to the Quattro Ottavi Youth Orchestra.
I came across this article on TGCOM24; I’m providing a translation here and attaching the original article because it includes a video of the final eight minutes of the competition—I hope you can all watch it! (Some people may not be able to view the video.)

“The Wheel of Champions and Stars”: Il Volo’s charity game
The singing trio had the chance to play “The Wheel of Wonders” and win up to 300,000 euros.
Il Volo won €30,000 on “La Ruota dei Campioni… e delle Stelle” (“The Wheel of Champions… and Stars”), a special prime-time episode of “La Ruota della Fortuna” (“Wheel of Fortune”) hosted by Gerry Scotti on Canale 5. Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble tested their skills on the famous game show’s puzzle boards, playing for charity.
Throughout the evening, the three singers competed in several rounds dedicated to them, alternating with the nine champions who had returned to the studio after distinguishing themselves in the program’s regular episodes. Their journey led them to the final “Wheel of Wonders” game, where they could win up to 300,000 euros.
Il Volo at the “Wheel of Wonders”: In the final game, Il Volo managed to find only the last of the three solutions. This answer allowed the trio to claim the envelope associated with the solved puzzle board, which contained 20,000 euros. After the round, Gerry Scotti opened the other two envelopes, those linked to the solutions the singers had failed to guess. The first contained 30,000 euros, while the second held the biggest prize: 150,000 euros. The 20,000 euros won at the “Wheel of Wonders” were added to the 10,000 euros secured during the earlier rounds, bringing Il Volo’s total winnings for the evening to 30,000 euros.
Who receives the €30,000? The funds will be donated via Mediafriends to the Quattro Ottavi Youth Orchestra, a social project supported by the philanthropic arm of Mediaset, Medusa, and Mondadori. The initiative is aimed specifically at young people from economically disadvantaged families or those living in isolation, with the goal of combating youth hardship and the risk of marginalization through educational and social inclusion programs.
As always, guys, congratulations on all these events you always handle so perfectly, bringing elegance, charm, and great talent with you.
We know you’re busy rehearsing for the upcoming Mantua concerts—and I’ll be there on Sunday the 27th, too!
See you very soon,
Daniela 🤗

IL VOLO: AN IMPORTANT PRESENCE by Daniela

And here I am with an update on the various events Il Volo participated in.
Let’s start with September 10th, when Fiorella Mannoia’s concert, held on June 3rd at the Baths of Caracalla, was broadcast on RAI1. I’ve already told you about this concert and attached the videos filmed at that moment, but now that it’s been broadcast on TV, I’m reposting the video of Fiorella and Il Volo’s moment.

CLICK HERE to view the video

On September 12th and 13th, the TIM MUSIC AWARDS took place live from the Verona Arena, where various awards are presented to outstanding singers.
On the evening of September 12th, Il Volo was also present, performing Cohen’s beautiful “Hallelujah” and then accepting the award for their “LIVE” worldwide tours. The event was broadcast live on RAI1.

CLICK HERE to view the video

The event was hosted by Carlo Conti and Vanessa Incontrada, and I’ll translate their words for you.
VANESSA= They’re always touring the world.
CONTI= They’re the most famous Italian trio, having captivated audiences on every continent for over 15 years, and tonight they’re giving us a song that’s primarily a hymn to peace.
By the way, I’m seeing a drone flying, transmitting images; those are the only drones we like to see (he’s referring to the incursion of five Russian drones into Polish territory, which were immediately shot down – applause).
And tonight their song is dedicated precisely to peace.
VANESSA = Exactly.
CONTI = And for you, it’s a chance to turn on all the lights on your phones.
VANESSA = Let’s all turn on the lights, more, more.
CONTI = A sign of peace, so that all the countries of the world can experience evenings like these, of music, joy, serenity, but above all, peace.
With us, with Hallelujah:
VANESSA + CONTI = Il Volo!!
(the song begins)
(The lyrics at the end of the song.)
CONTI = Il Volo.
VANESSA = At the TIM Music Awards, these three friends, amazing artists.
GIANLUCA = A round of applause also to Maestro Edmondo Savio and the orchestra of musicians, thanks to you too.
VANESSA = (hugs in greeting) Hi Ignazio, how are you?
CONTI = Thank you for this beautiful moment you gave us.
PIERO = Thank you.
CONTI = Here’s the award for you.
PIERO = How lovely!
VANESSA = (to Gianluca, to whom she gives the award) Hi, handsome boy!
GIANLUCA = (in Spanish) How are you, dear?
CONTI = (hands the award to Ignazio) Here you go for your tour.
I+G+P = Thank you, thank you.
VANESSA = So, you did a tour in the United States, some dates in Europe, and special concerts in Italy, right?
IGNAZIO = Yes, absolutely. Today was a bit of a demonstration of how music can be a bridge between different cultures, different ways of thinking, and the best thing about a tour is being able to meet different people, meet our fans, and still give people a feeling through music.
PIERO = This is a special evening because this is the first award Ignazio has received after becoming a dad. (applause)
VANESSA = It’s true! I didn’t want to pry into your private life, but… (as if to say he wanted to respect your privacy, but it’s great news)
CONTI = And you (Piero and Gianluca) are like uncles!!
IGNAZIO = Except they’re asleep, I’m not!! (applause)

CONTI = This fall, you’ll be starting your live concert tour in Latin America, then all of Europe, but most importantly, in December, you’ll be back in Italian arenas, back home.
VANESSA = Exactly!
PIERO = We’ll be back on tour in Italy, so we’re waiting for you, and thank you for the support and love you show us every day. Thank you!
VANESSA = Thank you, thank you for coming.
CONTI = And for this very important moment, thank you!
IGNAZIO = Love and respect each other, that’s all, thank you.
VANESSA+CONTI = Il Volo!!
G+I+P = Thank you, bye everyone!
What can I say? I don’t know if any of you had the chance to see the entire event, but 38 singers performed, receiving various awards, many rappers beloved by young people, often “over-the-top” figures heavily tattooed and sometimes scantily clad, and women performing in lingerie. In short, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca always bring a touch of elegance and refinement in addition to their talent. With their song, they highlighted something precious: PEACE, and their voices rose majestically above a sea of “summer hits” that often disappear.
Once again, Il Volo stood out and was appreciated!

The dates for Italian arenas are published.
On September 13th, the 19th edition of GRACE FOR THE WORLD, conceived by Andrea Bocelli and Pharrell Williams, took place in St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican. The event was broadcast live on RETE4.
Among the various artists, Il Volo was also present (in addition to Bocelli, the only Italians).
It was a spectacular evening with St. Peter’s Square as a magnificent backdrop and a series of drones in the sky creating beautiful patterns.
During the evening, beautiful words of brotherhood and peace, testimonials and artists from all over the world, a magnificent choir and orchestra, and a truly unique atmosphere.
Piero Ignazio and Gianluca performed towards the end of the event with a splendid MAGNIFICAT, which we had already heard at the Jubilee of Youth, a truly solemn moment!

I also wanted to point out that before all the events I’ve just listed, Il Volo had two private events, one apparently in Greece and one in Milan.
We learned about the second one through a publication by the Franciacorta Orchestra, which follows Il Volo. They published this post, of which I’m translating a portion.
“An evening that will remain etched in our hearts ✨
Last night we had the honor and pleasure of participating in a truly unique private event, hosted in the prestigious setting of Superstudio Events in Milan. A special, elegant, and refined occasion that allowed us to experience and share unforgettable moments.
On stage, joining us, were the talented Il Volo, who conveyed authentic emotions with their music and extraordinary voices. The magical encounter between an orchestra and three internationally renowned artists created a vibrant atmosphere, combining tradition, style, and contemporary energy.”
The update is over for now. It’s been a very intense few days of television, where we saw Ignazio, Piero, and Gianluca in top form. Now they’re back at the end of September for the memorial in honor of Pavarotti.
See you soon: Daniela 🤗

…and may there be peace throughout the world….🕊️❤️

Sanremo 2025 by Daniela

And the Sanremo cover evening is over too. What about the evening?
Il Volo with Clara were amazing, very good, beautiful interpretation and Clara’s voice blended well with that of Il Volo!!
Elegant, beautiful, talented, and they sang very well.
Thunderous applause!!
I remind you that Il Volo was not in the race. On the evening dedicated to Covers (already famous songs), the rules require the competing singer to duet with other singers. Clara, who you all know by now because last year in the Arena she did a duet with Gianluca, asked Il Volo to duet with her.
From Clara’s words in an interview, it seems that she has established a beautiful friendship with our boys, there is a lot of esteem and respect and also camaraderie between them. 🥰
But here is the video of the evening.

Overwhelming, skin-deep shivers and applause demonstrate that the audience liked it!!! 👏👏👏👏
Immediately after singing, the interview with RADIO RAI 2. (turn on subtitles)

Such beauty and skill, as we always know by now, does not correspond to the vote, in fact CLARA and IL VOLO will only place ninth!!!! INCREDIBLE, once again the juries did not support them!!!! 🤬🤬🤬
I already know that many of you will be thinking:
“But why do they go to Sanremo? They don’t need it.”
I can tell you that Sanremo, for better or worse, has very strong media exposure and therefore in addition to being seen by millions of Italians on TV, it offers many opportunities for radio interviews and online listening, certainly by people who are not fans of Il Volo.
In fact, I am attaching a series of radio interviews done by Il Volo on the occasion of the Sanremo evening, where you can activate the subtitles, because they are interviews that don’t say anything new, but are certainly useful to get to know and get people talking about Il Volo!!
First we start from the arrival of Clara and Il Volo in Sanremo.

And then they were interviewed by Stefano Fisico for Radio Number One, unfortunately it is an audio file, but I remind you that last year Stefano Fisico had interviewed Gianluca and Piero and from that badly interpreted interview the rumor of the division of Il Volo was born and although Stefano Fisico had threatened his fellow journalists and speakers of fake news, the rumor that spread was that Il Volo was arguing and was dividing.
In the current interview, Stefano and the boys good-naturedly make fun of last year’s interview and say that people still think that Il Volo has split….. incredible.
Furthermore, Il Volo also had the opportunity to do a CD signing in Sanremo!!
And now a nice roundup of photos and videos backstage before going on stage!
And here Clara, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca send best wishes to all lovers and not (in short for everyone), for VALENTINE’S DAY. ❤️
Another beautiful moment was the SORRISI E CANZONI interview.
The answers from Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio were funny. I translate for you, also imagining the probable questions.😉

QUESTION = What is never missing in your suitcase?

GIANLUCA= I don’t know….any books?
PIERO= I don’t lack…shoes to go running.
That’s a must.
IGNAZIO= For me on tour definitely electronic material, computers for recording and making music.

QUESTION= How long does it take you to pack?

GIANLUCA= Ah, we are very fast now, there is always a suitcase ready at home, already open. In fact, when guests come we apologize: “Sorry, there’s an open suitcase, because every now and then, close, open….”.
IGNAZIO= That’s you, not me, it’ll take me half an hour.
PIERO= I have a list of things to pack, maybe in 10 minutes I can easily pack a suitcase for two months. You know when you go to the pharmacist and tell him: “Will you give me that medicine?” and he does this and takes it? (Piero moves his arm back without turning) So he’s at our house to pack his bags.

QUESTION= Have you ever missed a plane?

GIANLUCA= Uh, in Paris at Charles De Gaulle, how many flights did we miss.
IGNAZIO= In Miami!! (when he was drugged)
PIERO= But not many, if we do a statistic, guys in 16 years maybe 3 or 4 flights we have missed.
IGNAZIO= In 16 years we have lost 0.02%.
PIERO= Exactly
GIANLUCA= No, more!
IGNAZIO= Once because of me (Miami)
PIERO= Once it was his fault (Ignazio) and then…..
GIANLUCA= Obviously we’re not leaving, it’s not like we’re going away and leaving him on the ground, so we have to wait for him.
PIERO= This makes you understand the unity of this group.
GIANLUCA= True love, great love!!
PIERO= Miss a flight so as not to leave anyone behind!

QUESTION= When you are abroad, what do you miss most about Italy?

IGNAZIO= The cuisine is certainly Italian, even if you manage to find good restaurants, but it’s never like the food here. And then Italy, the cuisine of my home, is what I really miss.
GIANLUCA= The sea of Roseto degli Abruzzi, my sea!
PIERO= The gossip!! (it sure is ironic).
IGNAZIO= It is not recommended to go and eat in Italian restaurants outside Italy.
GIANLUCA= No, no, there are good restaurants, but we are not negative, we try everything.
PIERO= Let’s specify!
IGNAZIO= I have never eaten a pizza outside Italy.
PIERO= Because you are a curious boy and since we are devoured by curiosity, we like to try local foods, therefore local customs.

QUESTION = What do you do when you are on the plane?

IGNAZIO= I’m sleeping. I sit down, 20 minutes pass and I fall asleep.
PIERO= So, during take-off I read, before sleeping I watch a film, then I eat and sleep, we are talking about intercontinental flights, so 15 hours of flight: I read, watch a film and eat and then I fall asleep and can sleep for 10-11 hours.
GIANLUCA= The exact same things.

QUESTION= Tell me about your concerts.

IGNAZIO= The last concerts we will do will be in Mantua on 8, 10 and 11 May at Palazzo del Te.
PIERO= we will create the third edition of ALL FOR ONE, we are waiting for you.
GIANLUCA= There will be many guests, we are working on the new repertoire because the objective of this project is to highlight our personalities, but to mix musical genres, which is always very exciting and interesting.
PIERO= 8 – 10 – 11 May
And by the way, by now you all know, in Italy the only concerts that will take place this year have been announced and they are in May on the 8th – 10th – 11th in Mantua at the Palazzo del Te.
In several interviews Il Volo said that in this way they show another piece of Italy.
Mantua is a beautiful town not far from Brescia.
Palazzo del Te is a beautiful building from the 1500s designed for the Gonzaga family.
Summer concerts are held in the exedra of the palace (the garden area behind the palace with the final semicircular construction), let’s hope it doesn’t rain! 🤞
The rooms of Palazzo del Te are beautiful and frescoed, the “Room of the Giants” is famous.
So the next events in Italy are in Mantua and I already have tickets for my husband and I for May 10th, I can’t wait!!
We’re also archiving the Sanremo evening, but you’re preparing for their arrival, it’s very little time until they’ll be with you!!!
Are you ready???

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

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 with Radio Italia Solo Musica Italiana and ICN 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, and ICN 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.

TIM MUSIC AWARDS 2024 AND MORE by Daniela

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.
Their arrival in Verona🤩🤩🤩

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.

And here is the prize received!
Some nice photos!
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.

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!!

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!
