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???
