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 here is the roundup of radio and TV interviews. (where possible activate the automatic translator)

RADIO FESTIVAL
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 theSORRISI 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!!!
Beautiful presence, interview and mini concert of Il Volo at Radio Subasio during the program Radio Subasio Music Club, interviewed by Katia.
Gianluca Ignazio and Piero, extremely at ease, dressed casually, relaxed, sing live, and what performances, always excellent and their voices, oh what voices!!
Presence of a small admitted audience among which I noticed with great pleasure young girls and many, many males!!
Lots of girls online who will be able to ask questions (they had to make the request to be admitted).
Our boys, in addition to being good, also know how to be very witty, we know it well!
I’m sorry for not being able to insert subtitles and this time there isn’t automatic translation so I’m translating this lovely interview in which I laughed so much!!😂😂😂
KATIA= And here we are, very ready again this evening, good evening everyone, live music is back as the protagonist on Radio Subasio, Radio Subasio Music Club returns this evening with a trio much loved in Italy and around the world. They are celebrating 15 years of their career and at the end of the month they will also do so with a new album called AD ASTRA, and then many dates in Italy and also around the world, in short, a lot of irons in the fire, we will talk about it with them too, but let’s do it straight away a big round of applause to Il Volo!!
(Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero enter and sing Capolavoro)
Hello guys!!
KATIA= Il Volo live, on Radio Subasio, welcome guys.
IGNAZIO= Thanks, hello everyone.
GIANLUCA= Hi Katia, hello everyone.
PIERO= Hi.
KATIA= Hi Piero, hello Ignazio, hello Gianluca.
GIANLUCA= Thanks, hello everyone.
KATIA= How beautiful you are, as well as good, it’s a pleasure to see you….
PIERO= We kept our promise.
KATIA= Absolutely yes, these guys keep their promises, I see you in excellent shape and despite the rumors lately, I also see you very united!
IGNAZIO= (joking) No, no, we broke up!! 😂 In fact, we’re loose now (and points to a circle with his hand) 🤣
KATIA= No, absolutely, also because more often than not, you have talked about how your union, your bond, is probably your strong point in your story, also because you didn’t choose each other, we remember that, you already know it in short, they met and then they were put together…
IGNAZIO= Yes, unfortunately yes.😂😂
KATIA= …..it’s even more difficult this way…
IGNAZIO= Unfortunately yes.😂😂
KATIA= No, come on, the premise isn’t right like that…
IGNAZIO= Well, we took part in a television program and in the end, we were three single singers and we were fine, then they put us together (laughter)...😂
KATIA= And it’s over….
IGNAZIO= … and we’ve been together badly for 15 years….😂
GIANLUCA= (he points to Ignazio) It’s self-deprecating, I don’t know if it’s understood…😂🤣
PIERO= No, because lately perhaps they take us at our word. (they laugh)😂
GIANLUCA= Let’s be careful about what we say.😁… well anyway I believe it is the basis of a lasting relationship, dialogue, understanding and over time we have matured together and grown, since we were 15 years old, we have spent half of our lives together , today we are in our thirties, we met when we were 15, so it’s nice to also send this message of union, I think it’s important.
KATIA= Absolutely yes, absolutely yes.
PIERO= Can we greet the people who are connected via video?
KATIA= And in fact, we greet the fans who are on video connection who will soon interact with you. (they frame all the fans on video link who greet Il Volo by waving their hands).
PIERO= I see a girl in a yellow shirt with a blow-up of Ignazio next to her (everyone laughs) as big as the wall. 😂
IGNAZIO= In that photo I look like Stash (the singer of The Kolors)
KATIA= Here she is, I see it. It is true!!
IGNAZIO= What’s true?? 😳
PIERO= Excuse me, but where is the blow-up of me and Gianluca??🤣🤣
KATIA= I see one with you on the shirt.
PIERO= Ah, there’s the t-shirt, ok…😉
KATIA= We also greet the studio audience, (applause) it seems right to me, they too have come for you and to ask you a few questions, soon they too will have the floor.
Guys, 15 years of a career that you will celebrate in a big way soon also with a new album, I would also talk about this, an album called AD ASTRA and will be released at the end of the month…. How do you say Piero, sorry?
PIERO= This album will be released on March 29th.
KATIA= It will be an interesting album, you’ve said it several times, an album that will allow us to get to know different facets.
GIANLUCA= Unfortunately we can’t sing it today, but we will return to Radio Subasio to sing the songs from the new album, it’s a promise, if you want us it’s obvious, we auto-invite ourselves to sing the songs from the new album.
PIERO= 15 years is a goal, a great goal for us and we have decided to celebrate it, first with the Sanremo Festival, presenting Capolavoro, on March 29th our first album of unreleased songs will be released and then this world tour will follow which will keep us busy for two years. We will leave on April 13th…
KATIA= Exactly, then there will also be 4 dates at the Verona Arena…..
GIANLUCA= However, also at the writing level there was a different maturity, a search for sound and also a search for singing, without losing our personality obviously, but it is the first time that we have dedicated ourselves to a work that speaks 100% our…
IGNAZIO= (tries to cut the conversation) ….come on we only have an hour I want to sing…😁
GIANLUCA= This is important..
KATIA= Indeed it is important..
GIANLUCA= Because we’ve never done it, so…
KATIA= There is a lot of curiosity in this album, then I also heard this thing you were saying in a recent interview, I think it was said by Piero, he said….
PIERO= I only say sensible things…😂
KATIA= Exactly, (laughter) you said “true to yourself, while keeping up with the times”, which is a difficult balance to strike and you are managing it perfectly I would say.
GIANLUCA= And it is perhaps our strength. 🥰
KATIA= Exactly.
GIANLUCA= Without being too nostalgic but not even imitating someone we don’t want and can’t be…
IGNAZIO= Can we sing?? 🤣
KATIA= Not yet, I decide when, he he he, there are also some “featurings” on the album…with Irama…
PIERO= (he seems to want to explain the word to Ignazio) Igna, featuring means collaboration….😂 (laughter)
GIANLUCA= That will surprise you, because in that piece, we managed to find that contrast, as we were saying, we were ourselves and he was Irama, but with our four voices together in harmony, it was, it’s very emotional. ..
PIERO= All four of us create Mahmood’s sound 🤣😂
KATIA= We are even more curious at this point to hear the new album, which I repeat is called AD ASTRA and, as they say PER ASPERA AD ASTRA, through difficulties you reach the stars, in your 15-year journey, what difficulties have you encountered ? Because I believe that every path…
GIANLUCA= Getting to know the two of them 😂🤣
KATIA= Here, you see!
PIERO= But this is a significant title, because through many sacrifices the objectives are achieved, today we live in a reality in which perhaps the message of obtaining everything immediately without a bit of effort, I think is a wrong message, in fact we rejoice more when you reach a finish line after a path that is at times turbulent, but at times also joyful…
KATIA= See how wise you really are!!
PIERO=No, but they were 15 years not only of music and stage..
KATIA= It’s true, it’s true.
PIERO= They were also 15 years, there is our manager Torpedine who can testify to it, they were quite particular 15 years, more beautiful years, less beautiful years, but in the end we are here, with our audience….
KATIA= Who loves you…🥰
PIERO= …. is the most faithful part of this journey.
KATIA= There is Ignazio who wants to say something.
IGNAZIO= Can we sing???🤣😂🤣
KATIA= What do you think, let’s make them sing??
PEOPLE= YesIII
KATIA= So, let’s let those who are listening at home feel a little warmth, a round of applause for Il Volo from Radio Subasio Music Club: MUSICA CHE RESTA.
PIERO= Can you ask the hunchback to go further?
KATIA= Musica Che Resta, live, Il Volo on Radio Subasio. We said it before, here is your audience, both in the studio and at home and they want to ask you questions, so I would start immediately from home via video connection Carmela from Catania. Hi Carmela, welcome where are you?
CARMELA= Hello everyone.
PIERO= Here she is, isn’t she the girl with the blow-up of Ignazio?
KATIA= No, it wasn’t her. Carmela, what do you want to ask Il Volo?
CARMELA= What would you have done if you hadn’t become singers?
GIANLUCA= Probably in place of Borghi on the radio….(he means a person who works on the radio…..laughter)
IGNAZIO= I don’t understand…..😂(Piero tries to explain to Ignazio)
GIANLUCA= Come on, I’m joking, there’s no need to explain… Oh God, maybe I probably would have been an architect.
KATIA= The architect??
GIANLUCA= Yes, probably yes.
KATIA= You, Piero?
PIERO= I would have been the manager who bought the houses built by Gianluca.🤣
KATIA= Right! You Ignazio?
IGNAZIO= (to Piero) The manager???😳
PIERO= No, in any case I wouldn’t be able to imagine my life without music, maybe I would have been a piano teacher.
GIANLUCA= Or the question could be what are your other passions besides music?
KATIA= Exactly.
IGNAZIO= But if she has already asked the question…😂.
KATIA= But actually among the other talents one has, one can also imagine a different path…..
IGNAZIO= When I was little I wanted to be a vet, I always liked animals, and then I don’t know, maybe I would have been a pizza chef , I’m realistic, because we had a pizzeria and so I would have become a pizza chef, yes.
GIANLUCA= Singing pizza chef.
KATIA= An architect, a pizza chef and an entrepreneur, you think, dear, thank you dear (to Carmela), thank you and have a good evening.
IGNAZIO= Hi Carmela.
KATIA= Alice from Belluno is in video this time, hello Alice.
ALICE= Hi
G+I= Hello
ALICE= I wanted to ask you, since you have sung in many important events around the world, if there is an event, a situation that made you think “if we are here singing we really did it”, maybe a dream you had when you were younger.
GIANLUCA= But did we really do it??
IGNAZIO= That’s the problem. That question persists in our heads always, every day, that’s fine because this gives us the desire to do more and more, but personally, one of the moments that we often forget but that we experienced is when we sang for the Nobel Prize Prize, not do we ever remember it, but that was an event…yes the Nobel Prize….
PIERO= Nobel Prize Prize …(makes fun of Ignazio)😁
IGNAZIO= Yes, because what’s his name??
PIERO= But say Premio Nobel (in Italian)
IGNAZIO= Ok, Premio Nobel…
GIANLUCA= It is right to be ambitious, but to enjoy what you achieve, the message must not be conveyed that one is never satisfied, and it is not good, on the contrary, to always enjoy the objectives that one achieves, but always have the ambition to do….(then turning to Ignazio) why are you looking at me?
KATIA= Exactly, never feel like you have arrived because then, unfortunately, if you stop and no longer grow. Thank you, dear Alice.
IGNAZIO= Gianluca makes more noise with his shoes than Heather Parisi (a dancer) when she dances.
KATIA= She could do tap dancing.
GIANLUCA= Like Elio and Le Storie Tese by Lol. (he’s a comedian singer)
KATIA= Exactly Thanks Alice.
Michele from Perugia is here from the studio and wants to ask you a question.
MICHELE= Hi guys….
IGNAZIO= Do you like Gianluca’s shoes? 😳
MICHELE= Beautiful!
PIERO= Do you know who you look like? To the sheriff who was looking for Pablo Escobar in the fiction, if you put teardrop glasses on him, you are him!
KATIA= We found a lookalike, go Michele, go ahead.
MICHELE= First of all congratulations, you have already answered me in part, with the last song of Sanremo you had a slightly more pop twist, and it was also much appreciated. I wanted to know if with future projects, this pop influence, this turning point, will be confirmed or not.
IGNAZIO= It’s not much of an influence, yes, but no. That is, in the sense that in 15 years we have never made a completely unreleased album and we thought it was the right time, also because we have grown up, we have had a lot of experiences that have led us to be what we are today and therefore we think that in Capolavoro but then in what will be the album, Capolavoro will be the perfect bridge and you will then listen to it on the album, because it is not Il Volo distorted or the change of Il Volo it is just actually how Il Volo is in the unreleased ones.
GIANLUCA= However it is clear that…..
IGNAZIO= But why do you always have to add something?? 😂😂😂
I’ve already been exhaustive and you have to exhaust me. I am exhaustive, you are…..🤣
KATIA= Let’s have another fight live so the newspapers will then…..😁😁
IGNAZIO= We broke up, ok, I’ll say it, we’re loose but we sing together. 😂🤣😂
GIANLUCA= Well come on, this time he’s right, there was no need, he had already said everything…
KATIA= Thank you Michele, thank you very much.
We talked about the album before and it was said that this new album was tailored to your personalities which are different but complementary. I ask you how you are similar and how you are so, so different.
PIERO= When we talk about “tailor-made” it is because for the first time we have put together a team of authors who have lived with us for about a year, therefore they have witnessed our relationship, our dialogues and above all also our daily discussions , because maybe today, I won’t tell you that we are deeper, but at thirty years old we ask ourselves different questions, so these authors have also observed our thoughts and our discussions and this album yes, talks about love but not only, it also talks about many questions we ask ourselves about life and why we are here singing and many other things….
KATIA= But I wanted to know more about your personalities, your characters, if there is one thing in which you are completely different…
IGNAZIO= Let me explain, Gianluca and I are completely different, me on the positive side and him on the negative side.
GIANLUCA= Maybe it’s the opposite. 😁
IGNAZIO= I’m talking about poles, I’m talking about poles, in that sense…
PIERO= I am the equator. 😂
IGNAZIO= He (Piero) is the equator, yes. He (Gianluca) is just the opposite of what I am.
KATIA= Let’s go with live songs on Radio Subasio Music Club…
IGNAZIO= We broke up…😂😂
KATIA= They don’t leave each other…. Il Volo, ANCORA a success by Edoardo De Crescenzo we listen to it live from Il Volo!
Great, Il Volo, ANCORA live on Radio Subasio. While we are chatting with Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, thanks also to the contribution of our audience here in the studio, Martina, right, Martina from Spoleto wants to ask you a question, go Martina.
MARTINA= So, when you leave for your tour….
IGNAZIO= …..what shouldn’t be missing in your suitcase….
MARTINA= …the three things that cannot be missing from your suitcase, well done!
PIERO= But three things, one, one, one, or three things each?
MARTINA= Three things each.
PIERO= Ok.
MARTINA= Don’t tell me socks or….
IGNAZIO= But let’s play a reverse game, you (to Piero) say about me and I say about you….
PIERO= About you, then… the computer that weighs a lot for doing live twitches, all the equipment for recording…
IGNAZIO= Yes…
PIERO= And then…
IGNAZIO= The underwear..😁
PIERO= …but at least once, you bring the razor!! Because you should know that when we are on tour he always forgets the razor, knocks on the room: “Can you lend me the razor?”..😁
IGNAZIO= Don’t laugh (to Torpedine) because you forget the razor too. 😁
IGNAZIO= You instead. (to Piero)
GIANLUCA= The giant headphones..
IGNAZIO= No, definitely running shoes, glasses, sure, not a book, but the computer with which you read the news in the morning.
PIERO= Well done.
KATIA= This is proof that they know each other well. Gianluca, someone has to tell about you.
IGNAZIO= I say so. Gianluca high heels,😂 books, never-ending books, he reads ten books a week, and then the third thing, I don’t know… the embarrassing clothes. 😂
PIERO= Clothes for going to the gym.
IGNAZIO= No, the embarrassing clothes.
KATIA= But are all three of you sportsmen? I know you run a lot, you’ve even done the marathon..
PIERO= Can I show you the wallpaper on my cell phone?
KATIA= Yes, yes, I want to see it, let’s see what the background is.
IGNAZIO= He runs away, no one knows from whom, but he runs away. 😁
PIERO= Look how beautiful?
KATIA= The New York marathon, fantastic, then is it true Piero that you do 20 km on the treadmill? When I read this… but there are many, but every morning?
PIERO= Or you’re crazy.
KATIA= Either you are crazy or you are crazy.
IGNAZIO= But he only did it once, once.
KATIA= Oh yes?
PIERO= I had to train and I couldn’t go out, it was raining and I had to get ready, but if I don’t do them on the treadmill I’ll do them outside.
IGNAZIO= He had to get ready to go out, because before leaving the room he gets ready by doing 20 km on the treadmill, understand?😂
KATIA= Of course, of course.
IGNAZIO= It’s a preparation, there are those who do skincare (Gianluca) and those who run 20 km inside the house. 😂
KATIA= Everyone prepares in their own way.
GIANLUCA= I get made fun of for skincare, understand?
KATIA= But skincare is important, now if we want to open a debate….
IGNAZIO= Absolutely, even the curlers…
GIANLUCA= Do you do skincare? (to Ignazio)
KATIA= Don’t you do skincare? (to Ignazio)
IGNAZIO= No, I do it, but I started doing it. I go to bed and I have my girlfriend who gives me all the skincare.
GIANLUCA= She does it for him, for his laziness.
KATIA= Do you understand? Thank you dear. Still from the studio, let’s go to Francesca from Ischia, how wonderful (Ischia is a beautiful island), here she is Francesca, it’s your turn.
FRANCESCA= A merit and a flaw of the other.
IGNAZIO= A merit and a flaw, Maria!😁
KATIA= Go, let’s open fire.
GIANLUCA= So, Ignazio is a good boy.
KATIA= Good?
GIANLUCA= Yes, he is the nicest person….🥰
IGNAZIO= …to eat?😁
GIANLUCA= Yes, he is tasty…
PIERO= Defect: He’s messy.
IGNAZIO= I’m not messy at all, you don’t know me.
GIANLUCA= The biggest flaw is that he is touchy, the most touchy person in the world.
KATIA= He ties it to his finger and won’t let you pass it.
PIERO= (to Ignazio) Aren’t you messy? Why do you wear a hat? Because you forgot to do your hair. 😂
IGNAZIO= Absolutely not, I wanted to wear the hat because it matches what I wore, and I decided to wear the hat, look, I also wear it backwards.😁
KATIA= I said that now it ends in an argument….
IGNAZIO= We broke up, we are dissolved.😂🤣😂
KATIA= At the end of the evening we will announce it officially. Piero, merit and flaw, about Gianluca.
PIERO= Merit……
IGNAZIO= I’m not saying it because the list would be very long…🥰
GIANLUCA= Flaw above all.😁
PIERO= Wait, flaw: stubborn. Merit……(Ignazio tries to suggest in a low voice)
KATIA= Ignazio would you like to add..
PIERO= Merit: he is very sensitive.🥰
KATIA=Okay, come on, sensitive and stubborn.
GIANLUCA= Piero is very thoughtful and determined,🥰 and then a flaw….
IGNAZIO= Authoritarian! 😂
PIERO= I’ve been told for years that I’m authoritarian! 😂
KATIA= Authoritarian why? Does he lay down the law?
IGNAZIO= My goodness, he lays down the law. 😂
KATIA= That is, things have to be done as he says?
IGNAZIO= Here we have the Sicilian Pion Peng (he means a dictator). 😂
KATIA= Piero, what do you say in your defense? Because here, in short….
PIERO= I submit.
KATIA= Do you submit?
GIANLUCA= Mitsubishi. (he plays on the pronunciation) 😂
KATIA= So thanks to our friend Francesca and also from the studio there is Tomas from Arezzo. There he is.
IGNAZIO= Hi Tomas.
TOMAS= Hi guys, my question is this: What was the motivation for calling you Il Volo?
IGNAZIO= I wonder that too 🤣🤣…….we were thinking of a name…
PIERO= You have to leave a little early. In 2010 we signed a contract with an American record company, Interscope, Universal.
The president was Jimmy Iovine, do you know the one who invented the beats? (headphones)….
IGNAZIO= He doesn’t know, but he invented them…🙄
PIERO= Yes, come on, there’s also……
GIANLUCA= Let’s say he started out far away.😂…..now he’ll sell you headphones.🤣🤣🤣
IGNAZIO= What is he interested in knowing who Jimmy Iovine is???…
PIERO= But it’s right to contextualise….
KATIA= You made the premise…
GIANLUCA= (to Tomas) Did you bring the cash? 😂🤣😂🤣 (to pay for the headphones that Piero sells him)
PIERO= We sat down with Jimmy Iovine of Ischia origins, Iovine (he pronounces it in Italian) is his surname, and we decided on a short Italian name that was easy to pronounce, but we didn’t take into account all the countries in the world, Il Volo is only pronounced well in Italy. 😁
IGNAZIO= But it’s not true!
KATIA= Oh yes, why?
PIERO= Come on Ignazio….Vro is in Japan 😂🤣🤣
IGNAZIO= Okay but those are some characteristics…
PIERO= Do you know what they called us in America one day? The Volvo. 😂🤣
IGNAZIO= No, in Germany.
PIERO= No, we were in America in Los Angeles, the name Volvo was on the dressing room, next to us we were missing Fiat and Chrysler (all car brands)😂
IGNAZIO= Hidden advertising, sorry. (applause)
KATIA= Thanks Tomas.
Radio Subasio, live Il Volo, or rather Il Volvo 😂: GRANDE AMORE.
KATIA= Il Volo, live on Radio Subasio, Grande Amore, a song that takes us back to a Sanremo Festival a few years ago.
GIANLUCA= Nine years ago.
KATIA= Mom guys, it seems like yesterday.
GIANLUCA= We were twenty years old, think about it.
KATIA= What memories do you have of that Festival and that moment when you were nominated.
GIANLUCA= It’s one of the best memories of our career, because like it or not, if you win Sanremo you officially go down in the history of Italian music, right?
KATIA= Sure.
GIANLUCA= This represents a bit for us, having entered the history of music with a song which then gave us a lot of satisfaction even abroad. Bringing this music to the new generations has always been our goal and therefore twenty-year-olds winning Sanremo with bel canto was certainly a great satisfaction.
KATIA= It’s true, it’s true, it deserves applause.👏👏👏
The public still wants to chat with you, and there is Valentina from Bastia Umbra in the province of Perugia. Go Valentina.
VALENTINA= I wanted to ask you what your hobbies are as normal guys.
KATIA= Eh, normal guys!! Everyday life.
IGNAZIO= Okay. In the end, it’s not so much being normal or different, this is our normality and it’s more our simplicity, because what we experience is not everyday (meaning it’s not a normal thing), so it’s not so simple, then one can experience it with simplicity but if you go and see it in essence, it is actually not very simple.
Personally, the passions that I live and that I like to live are tennis, paddle and motorbikes. I relax a lot, I take my two motorbikes and go for a day, with both at the same time. 😳😁
It relaxes me a lot, I go to the Bolognese hills…
GIANLUCA= As Cremonini did (Italian singer who lives in Bologna)
KATIA= Like Cremonini did, yes.
IGNAZIO= With wings under your feet…(it’s a phrase from a Cremonini song)
PIERO= He goes there (on the Bolognese hills) on foot and you with the motorbike.
GIANLUCA= Exactly.
KATIA= (to Piero) You do them on foot.
PIERO= My hobbies are….
IGNAZIO= …in fact he had invited me to the marathon and I said: “If they let me come on a motorbike I’ll come.” I’ll do it on a motorbike damn it.
KATIA= Ah, yes, but he couldn’t convince you…
IGNAZIO= No, because you couldn’t wear the bib instead of the license plate, that was the only problem and I couldn’t go. 😁
PIERO= My hobbies are: running 3 times a week, the sea ,if you want to make me happy take me to the sea…..
KATIA= Dear Piero I agree with you..
PIERO=…and then what I like: tennis..
IGNAZIO= I hate sand..
KATIA= Do you hate sand? Really?
IGNAZIO= I can’t do it..
GIANLUCA = Don’t interrupt him, he’s talking..😁
PIERO= Tennis is another great passion of mine and then on Sunday afternoons, leave me on the sofa watching films.
KATIA= Well, you see, you know that I agree with various things. Tennis you two can play then.
PIERO= We always play, twice a week.
KATIA= Oh are you playing? Who wins?
PIERO= (to Ignazio) Shall we play this week?
IGNAZIO= Let’s play, Wednesday afternoon, I’m up for it.
KATIA= You Gianluca?
GIANLUCA= I live by the sea so like Piero (he loves the sea). I live in Roseto degli Abruzzi, indeed I greet all the people of Abruzzo.
KATIA= We salute the people of Abruzzo obviously.
GIANLUCA= We are close, in an hour and a half I arrived (he mean Radio Subasio), we are also close.
Then I really like reading, but also the habits, I live in a town of 300 souls, so having coffee in the morning, taking a walk in the hills, being with my family and my friends, these are the habits of a boy just like you said “normal” which is what we are. We live a parallel life, the important thing is to disconnect, recover, you will recharge and then start again.
KATIA= Thank you very much dear (to Valentina)
I’m going to the video this time and there’s Emanuela from Taormina, talking about the sea.
Emanuela are you there??
EMANUELA= Good evening (she has a strong Sicilian pronunciation, with very open vowels and Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero make fun of her jokingly)
GIANLUCA= Good evening (with the A open) 😂
IGNAZIO= Good evening, good evening, how are you? (with the A and E open), truly (an expression often used by Southern girls) 😂🤣
PIERO= We can hear that you are from Taormina (all with a Sicilian accent), truly, hello. 🤣
IGNAZIO= Hi Emanuela (with the A very open) 😂
GIANLUCA= Precisely an accent from Valtellina (an area in northern Italy) 😂
KATIA= Emanuela see, they welcomed you well!! 😁
PIERO= How are you Emanuela, are you okay?
EMANUELA= Everything okay and you?
IGNAZIO = Too good we say (said in Sicilian dialect) 😂
PIERO= How beautiful your accent is, wonderful!
KATIA= It’s true, it’s true.
PIERO= See while she talks, I imagine Saretto’s granitas at BamBar..🥰🥰
KATIA= Shut up Piero… how painful (she also likes Bambar’s granitas)
GIANLUCA= Yesterday it was Christmas, in a month it’s almost summer, it’s coming, and we’re arriving.
EMANUELA= I’m waiting for you.
KATIA= Emanuela asks your question.
EMANUELA= My question is: “What is your self place outside of home” (she pronounces self place in English)
GIANLUCA= Ignazio what is your self place (he pronounces it all in English)
IGNAZIO= And what is the self place? But why don’t you talk about how you eat, drinkable, drinkable! (Here in Italy there is a habit of using words or phrases in English and Ignazio means to speak in Italian. Everyone laughs)😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
What is SELF PLACE? what is that. (he pretends not to understand)
PIERO= It’s your safe haven.
EMANUELA= Your “safe haven” beyond home and beyond the stage obviously.
IGNAZIO= Ah, the safe place!! Easier.
KATIA= Here you see, it sounds even better, safe haven, safe place come on.
IGNAZIO= What was the question?🤣🤣
EMANUELA= What is the safe place beyond home.
IGNAZIO= Home, I really can’t find anything else, if we talk about “place” like a place, a home: home. There is nothing else, I enter the front door and I feel like God, I feel naked, dressed. Did you understand? I feel good.
GIANLUCA= Does the stage count as an answer or not?
IGNAZIO= Come on, don’t be a philosopher. 😁
KATIA=She said beyond the house and beyond the stage, so she has already ruled it out.
EMANUELA= Beyond the stage.
GIANLUCA= Ah, beyond the stage…
KATIA= You have traveled a lot…
GIANLUCA= Japan, that’s where I feel at home.
KATIA= This is what I wanted to ask you..
GIANLUCA= It’s a completely different culture…
PIERO= In fact he goes out to have coffee with the Japanese…🤣🤣🤣
GIANLUCA= Green tea…
KATIA= What do they drink…sake.
GIANLUCA= Sake.
IGNAZIO= But in fact he doesn’t drink coffee, he goes to the bar and asks for sake.
GIANLUCA= A sakè.
KATIA= But do you also feel good in Japan?
IGNAZIO= Yes, we get on well, but it’s not a “safe haven”, what kind of safe haven is it? (turning to Gianluca)
GIANLUCA= You understand what direction it has taken, come on, let’s move on.
KATIA= Piero go.
PIERO= So, whatever place the sea is in, I repeat what I said before, but there is also a place where I feel safe, wait I’m cheating (superstition): the plane.😳
KATIA= Oh my God!
PIERO= When I’m on the plane I’m very calm…
IGNAZIO= Tell the truth, tell everything properly, the plane what???
GIANLUCA= He gets off the phone.
PIERO= Well done.
GIANLUCA= You are alone with yourself, you have time without anyone and without distractions.
PIERO= You know that you can buy wi-fi on a plane.
KATIA= Yes.
PIERO= I have never done it, maybe once and then I never did it again, because on a plane, even if we have a 12-15 hour flight….
GIANLUCA= 20 – 35, we arrive on Mars…😂😂
PIERO= I turn off, I turn off my cell phone and for those 15 hours alone, reading while being with myself.
IGNAZIO= I have the same feeling, for example I have insomnia problems, I couldn’t sleep at night anymore, calculate that I went to bed at 5.30 am and woke up at 10.00 am, I slept 3, 4 maximum 5 hours a night, really I can’t sleep.
KATIA= How did you solve it??
IGNAZIO= We travelled…..resolved, let’s say I was awake for 10 days and it was resolved, but when we travelled, instead, I got on the plane and slept, and from there I understood that they are the distractions, because you get on the plane and you can’t do anything, so your head knows that you sit, lie down and sleep.
GIANLUCA= Katia has a passion for planes…..(it’s the opposite)
KATIA= Did you understand?
GIANLUCA= I understood it from your look, you see you have a passion for flying (flying =Il Volo). 😃
PIERO= You know what I do on the plane, sometimes, almost always, I get on the plane in “flight” mode (on his cell phone), I reply to all the WhatsApp messages that I may have left behind….
IGNAZIO= Yes because he is a snob..😁
PIERO= It’s not that I’m being a snob, maybe some messages escape you, like the Sanremo period, you get hundreds of messages, on the plane at those times, I reply to all the messages then on the ground, I activate the data mode and send all messages.
KATIA= Obviously talking about the fear of flying with you is not possible, but at the beginning for example, none of the three?
PIERO= No.
GIANLUCA= We have a constant unconsciousness… like children.
IGNAZIO= Consider that as a child I did model airplanes with my father, he built and I piloted.
GIANLUCA= We really don’t think about it.
PIERO= I also gave him (Ignazio) the injections on the plane, one day he had a fever, who knows what it was?
IGNAZIO= I had an infection.
GIANLUCA= I prepared him a plate of pasta on the plane (for Ignazio).
KATIA= Plan B male nurse (to Piero), at this point we have found you another (job), right? Thanks to Emanuela.
EMANUELA = Thank you to you all.
PIERO= Beautiful image (him giving Ignazio the shot on plane).😱
KATIA= The image is actually a little disturbing.
GIANLUCA= Bye Emanuela.
EMANUELA= I’ll wait for you in Taormina.
IGNAZIO= Bye
PIERO= Bye Emanuela.
IGNAZIO= Emanuela speaks “drinkable”! 😂😂(which means speak as simple as the water you drink)
KATIA= Also on video, in Ravenna or Faenza to be precise, there is Veronica. Veronica?
PIERO= Faenza (imitating the pronunciation of the Romagna area) 😁
VERONICA= Hi guys.
IGNAZIO= But that is, we are neighbors (he says it with the pronunciation of Romagna since Faenza and Bologna are in Emilia Romagna)
KATIA= Hi Vero (Veronica), wait…
GIANLUCA= She is one of Piero Barone’s biggest fans
KATIA= Ah, see?
GIANLUCA= Is it true that I remember?
VERONICA= Yes perfect…
PIERO= The girl with the shirt..
VERONICA= I’m the one with the t-shirt.
KATIA= Ah, here’s the t-shirt..
GIANLUCA= But that shirt is 10 years old.
IGNAZIO= I am sorry for you. 😂
VERONICA= Yes, I’m 20 now, yes I was 12.
IGNAZIO= Mamma mia! She really grew up.😳
GIANLUCA= So today you are 21 if mathematics…
VERONICA= In July, 21 years old, YES.
KATIA= Your fans are also growing.
VERONICA= I grew up with you…😍
IGNAZIO= What a ruined adolescence 😂😂
VERONICA= Made together with you and I’m very happy with it.🥰
PIERO= Tell him, tell him.
KATIA= Veronica ask the question, what do you want to ask?
VERONICA= I’m really happy.
PIERO= They’re envious. 😂
IGNAZIO= Do you also have a question you want to ask?
GIANLUCA= It’s nice to see you again, you’ve grown up, become more and more beautiful and have come to so many concerts….but now you speak otherwise it seems like I want to bring her to my side…so you speak. (to Piero)
KATIA= Veronica if you want to ask something?
VERONICA= Yes, the question, on the subject of music obviously, which are the three songs that cannot be missing from your play-lists.
GIANLUCA= Do you know that lately I’ve been listening to PURPLE RAIN by Prince every day?
KATIA= Wow, beautiful!
GIANLUCA= Every day at all hours I listen to it.
KATIA= It’s a piece that deserves a lot.
GIANLUCA= Then CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE obviously and then something by the great Lucio Dalla, for example LA SERA DEI MIRACOLI.
KATIA= Wow.
GIANLUCA= One of my favorite pieces.
KATIA= Not a bad list. Ignazio?
IGNAZIO= I don’t listen to music.
KATIA= Don’t you listen to music?
IGNAZIO= I swear to you. I’m terrible, I listen to very little music, I almost never listen to music, only when I go to the gym..
GIANLUCA= Okay, pretend you’re listening, say something..
IGNAZIO= I listen to music, I listen to Eminem…
KATIA= Listen to the radio.
GIANLUCA= Listen to Radio Subasio, every day, here, on Radio Subasio.
IGNAZIO= I listen to Eminem…..
PIERO= It’s called rap cartel.
IGNAZIO= And then I listen to Fibra (an Italian singer), then….tell me the name of some rapper…
KATIA= Mahmood…. Tuta Gold ..(Mahmood song)
IGNAZIO= (motions to sing Tuta Gold)
KATIA= We’re good to go, playlist complete.
GIANLUCA= He looks like an old man in the body of a thirty year old.
IGNAZIO= Now I’m exaggerating, but you listen to various artists (he says some artists I don’t know and I don’t understand their names).……beautiful.
KATIA= And Piero instead?
PIERO= ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK by Sting, L’APPUNTAMENTO by Vanoni (Italian singer)…
GIANLUCA= “Il desiderio e la pazzia”, what a piece….(a song by Vanoni)
PIERO= “Eternità” (another song by Vanoni)
IGNAZIO= With chocolate.😁
KATIA= Not bad, not bad, thanks Veronica, I have to say hello, let’s go quickly, bye Veronica.
This is Subasio Music Club Radio, Il Mondo, Jimmy Fontana’s masterpiece sung by Il Volo live!
KATIA= Wow. Il Volo live on Radio Subasio. Time runs too fast, I’m leaving right away…
PIERO= There is a huge teddy bear, via zoom, show, but what is it? Hello Kitty? No?
GIANLUCA= How much time has passed?
KATIA= Almost an hour.
IGNAZIO= But is it Groot? It’s Groot, it’s Groot.
KATIA= Let’s go to the studio, right, yes, Claudia of Maiori, province of Salerno, Claudia go!
CLAUDIA= Hello, hello everyone. I wanted to ask you what did you miss about your adolescence?
GIANLUCA= Ours is a perpetual adolescence, let’s say, no but really, to do this type of work you have to be an eternal child…😁
PIERO= Of the time spent with our peers….
KATIA= You had a different adolescence..
GIANLUCA= Yes, in the end yes.
PIERO= And I have to tell you that we rediscovered that period in the post-Covid period, because we started doing concerts again…we were perhaps the last to restart with the tour, so we spent a few months at home and spent a lot of time with the our peers, our childhood friends, so those dinners, chats, sharing our experiences that perhaps the hectic everyday life doesn’t allow you to be with them. But we can’t…. honestly I don’t regret anything, because what I didn’t experience during my adolescence perhaps at home, I lived other lives outside, so we are three privileged guys and we are aware of this.
KATIA= Thank you dear (to Claudia) always from the studio: Aurora from Foligno.
AURORA= Hi, so, in the last song from Sanremo you say that “you fall from the sky like a masterpiece”, as if it were something unexpected….
IGNAZIO= Hoping he doesn’t get hurt…😁
AURORA= In your musical career, what would you have defined as a masterpiece, from this perspective?
IGNAZIO= In your musical career, in our career or even in life?
AURORA= Even in life. In life and musical career.
IGNAZIO= But I think this thing is very subjective, for example, for me one of the fundamental things in my musical career together with them (Piero and Gianluca) is enthusiasm, because for me enthusiasm is what moves everything inside and it’s not in my stomach, but in my heart, enthusiasm gives me the desire to do, to create, it gives me the desire to cry and laugh, it gives me the desire to do everything and if enthusiasm is missing it becomes a mess. So for me the feeling of enthusiasm becomes a masterpiece for me.
KATIA= Beautiful!
IGNAZIO= But even in love it’s like this for me, in the sense that if I have enthusiasm in love, I rock the world….
KATIA= Do we want to say that you will get married soon? 🥰
IGNAZIO= There are details..
KATIA= Are there details? well come on, well…
IGNAZIO= Incidentally, she is in the living room watching us…😍
KATIA= Oh yes? Shall we say goodbye then??
IGNAZIO= (he blows two kisses) 😘😘
KATIA= You see, he has a loving eye…let’s go live then (meanwhile Ignazio sings two words of Only You), Se Telefonando by Mina who sings Il Volo for us.
KATIA= Il Volo live, in the evening of Radio Subasio, there are two other fans who want to talk to you, there is one on video from Sant’Antonio Abate, Naples: Emilia, are you there? Where? Here she is.
IGNAZIO= Hello.
KATIA= Welcome, feel free to ask your question to Il Volo.
EMILIA= Thank you. So I wanted to ask you, it’s a somewhat existential question: What would you do if tomorrow was the last day on earth?
IGNAZIO= Here is the philosopher, 😂 Giancluca, he is the nephew of Galimberti (a philosopher) 🤣
KATIA= Oh yes??
IGNAZIO= Yes, he answers…what is the question that I haven’t heard, that already when I heard “existential” I thought of Gianluca.
KATIA= What would you do if it was your last day on earth.
GIANLUCA= The answer is simple, I would spend a day at the seaside eating kebabs with my family.
KATIA= How beautiful!
GIANLUCA= It’s nothing existential, it’s the most beautiful thing that takes you back to adolescence, that takes you back to your roots, to a moment of joy, the moment of greatest joy with your family, friends, the closest people dear for you, the world ends and you die happy.
PIERO= I would live like every day, because I live every day as if it were my last.
GIANLUCA= Wow, wow.
KATIA= Well done! Great Piero!
IGNAZIO= I’m silly to play down, but I’m a bit like him (Piero), I don’t think about it, I’m someone who lives everything to the fullest, I live every day with responsibility, respecting others, respecting the people who are close to me , but above all by respecting myself, which is fundamental and then I think you learn to answer this question, when perhaps things happen in your life that make you reflect, like when I lost my father 🙏 and I understood that every day you have to really live it not like it was the last one, but you don’t have to waste your time getting too lost in thoughts that we often have, live more, just live. This is what I think.
KATIA= Excellent, excellent. Thanks Emilia, I always go on video, in Schierano, province of Bergamo, am I right Michela?
MICHELA= Exactly, hello everyone! (the video shows Emilia drying her eyes again)
IGNAZIO= I didn’t want to make you cry Emilia, sorry.
KATIA= She was moved, but is Michela here? Michela are you there?
MICHELA= Hi.
KATIA= We hear you, here it is, ask your question.
PIERO= Hi Michela.
MICHELA= I wanted to ask you in these years of your career what were the key and least important moments for you.
GIANLUCA= The most important moments.
KATIA= The key moments, the most important moments of your career.
IGNAZIO= Certainly the signing of our first contract was a very important moment.
GIANLUCA= Can I say something? I’m interrupting you because….
IGNAZIO= You didn’t even get me started…
GIANLUCA= Because it’s important to say it, you must never forget the beginning and the people who then allowed you to express yourself artistically and it’s Michele Torpedine who is here this evening and is our manager.
KATIA= Applause, that’s right.
GIANLUCA= Because it took courage and a great vision to see three children like that, how can you imagine that maybe one day… in short there are things that only a visionary can understand…
KATIA= It’s very true.
GIANLUCA= Look, I want to say it because then there is also Barbara Vitali who is our shadow, really, the important thing is to thank people and be grateful.
KATIA= And never forget how you started..
GIANLUCA= That was a key moment… forgive me for a moment because I have them here in front of me (Torpedine and Barbara) and so I got a little confused.
IGNAZIO= It’s the emotion..
GIANLUCA= But that was a key moment which is the beginning, then winning Sanremo, the tour with Barbra Streisand was very important for us.
KATIA= There are many..
GIANLUCA= Many things have happened…
IGNAZIO= But can I name one of the key moments? (Piero was starting and everyone laughs) 😂 I didn’t speak, he interrupted me!
A moment that you will then share I think (he tells Piero).
Because then an artist, when she talks about herself, only tells the good things: “I sang with Barbra Streisand, I sang with Placido Domingo, Nobel Prize winner”, they are all beautiful things and they are key moments in our career and they gave me crazy prestige. Some children singing in the choir of We Are The word for Haiti, it’s something that happens once, in short they are key points, but we never think about it, but I think that one of our key and important points in our career was in 2014 , when we had the transition from one record company to another. That was a delicate moment in our career, we made the move to the record company, but above all we grew up and therefore we were no longer the children without beards, but the boys who cut their beards to be more children.
KATIA= Oh yes?
PIERO= This is a response to Marzullo (a person who always gives complicated answers)
IGNAZIO= But it’s the truth and so it was that moment of transition that was very delicate for us and that’s when we understood: Ok the fun is over, now we get serious and start working.
GIANLUCA= And then came Grande Amore.
IGNAZIO= Because everything arrived in one easy way… and then you have to start working and I must say that we did a great team job but above all Michele, he hid things from us (the difficulties) but if we find ourselves here today it is thanks to him because ... (makes a gesture as if to signify that Michele has broad shoulders).
KATIA= But you have had a crazy journey, many things have happened to you, I would like to keep you here for another hour because you also have some interesting anecdotes..
IGNAZIO= When the album comes out.
GIANLUCA= When the album comes out we’ll be back.
KATIA= Good, ok.
PIERO= We want to say something important.
KATIA= Sure, go!
PIERO= And it’s not the violin that’s being played, it’s the truth. We can talk about everything we have done for another hour, but there is one important thing, we are celebrating these 15 years with a two-year world tour and many concerts, but there is a basic truth, that we have an audience that make us feel like super heroes…🥰
KATIA= Nice…
PIERO= Who supports us, supports us and has been coming to our concerts for 15 years and therefore we cannot… there are no words enough to thank them, so we are grateful, we are grateful to them.
KATIA= Well then I would close with the song….tell me Ignazio.
IGNAZIO= Since we sing then we leave, and we don’t talk anymore we wanted to say thank you…..shall we talk later?? Then we sing and say goodbye with Capolavoro.
GIANLUCA= Capola-Volo 😁
KATIA= Great Il Volo: Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, what a fantastic evening you gave us.
GIANLUCA= Thanks Katia, thanks also to Beppe (director), thanks to Radio Subasio for everything.
KATIA= Thanks to the studio audience.
GIANLUCA= Thanks to the public, thanks to all of you for the love…
KATIA= Also to your fans at home..
GIANLUCA= Also to all the technicians and all those who are backstage and are no less important.
PIERO= Hello to the girl who wrote “Hi Piero”, bye darling.
GIANLUCA= I remind everyone that our first album of unreleased songs will finally be released on March 29th.
KATIA= And it’s called AD ASTRA, thanks!
IGNAZIO= Last greeting, I wanted to say an important message, at least for me, is that in life it is important when you believe in something, first of all we have to believe in it, in what we want, in what we want to do, but above all if you have the opportunity and believe in someone, do it with others too, we were lucky enough to have someone believe in us, so if you have the opportunity, do it with others too because it gives incredible strength.
KATIA= Thank you very much Ignazio, thanks again to Il Volo!!
Beautiful interview and beautiful performance, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
There is less and less time left until Sanremo and every day new interviews and videos are published.
Today I propose this interview to you in the GRAZIA newspaper.
Pay attention to Ignazio’s words. ❤️
LOVE PUSHES US FORWARD
After the victory in 2015, the three singers of Il Volo return to the Festival with the song CAPOLAVORO, which talks about the feeling that changed their lives.
When I meet the three guys from Il Volo, I can’t help but notice all their differences. In their way of telling themselves, of understanding music and the world. But at the same time I feel a unique, consolidated, respectful entity.
Fifteen years after their debut, Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone, and Ignazio Boschetto felt the need to focus on themselves. They did this by preparing an album that for the first time will be composed entirely of unreleased songs and in which they promise a new story that they will take on a world tour.
WHAT TIME IS THIS?
GIANLUCA= We realized that we have based our career in the past, on the strong roots of our culture that we have brought around the world. For the first time, however, we now feel connected to the present, with an eye towards the future.
YOU WILL BE COMPETING IN SANREMO WITH CAPOLAVORO. HOW WOULD YOU TELL IT?
IGNAZIO= We understood that this was the perfect song for Sanremo. Talk about love. When you are in a relationship, you stop and say: “This story is a Capolavoro”, I’m getting married next year and for me the masterpiece is exactly what I’m experiencing.
PIERO= It makes me think of that very strong feeling that grows inside you without you knowing it. When you realize you have it you need to externalize it.
GIANLUCA= For me, love is like jumping off Niagara Falls without a life jacket. You know that you rely on a person with the risk of experiencing incredible pain.
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF BREAKING UP YOUR TRIO?
PIERO= Never. We have lived intense years, without ever stopping. There wasn’t time to even think about it.
BUT IT IS NOT OBTAINED.
PIERO= Yes, but there was a lot of effort. Today others only talk about immediate success achieved with the least amount of effort. It’s wrong.
GIANLUCA PARTICIPATED ON BEHALF OF THE TRIO IN THE EVENING OF GRACE FOR THE DAY AGAINST VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. IT’S AN EMERGENCY?
GIANLUCA= For many men it is difficult to admit that they have weaknesses, there is a virility that is so flaunted and which can lead to violence.
PIERO= Each of us should make our contribution, even in small things, not laughing at squalid jokes and perhaps pointing out to our best friend that he is making a mistake in using certain words.
There was the long-awaited Radio Italia interview (I don’t like Gianluca’s trousers at all, my opinion) 🤪
WOMAN= Let me dream right away. Where have you been lately around the world? You are always around, I watch the stories, I would like to do all the trips you do. Where have you been?
GIANLUCA= We’ve been around, we’ve had the opportunity to tour, travel, but returning to Sanremo is always an emotion, because we were born here artistically.
WOMAN= It’s true, this is what I wanted to tell you, what it’s like to return, after all these trips around the world, to such an important stage for Italy and not only and above all for you who this stage has given you so much.
IGNAZIO= We have realized that we are coming to celebrate our anniversaries, it will be 15 years, we celebrate 15 years this year and it is not easy, it is not easy to be together for 15 years (Piero and Gianluca protest), let me finish, it is not easy to stay together for 15 years always with the same enthusiasm.
GIANLUCA = (to Piero). See, you don’t have to interrupt him.
PIERO= (to the person filming) Can you cut this piece?? (laughs) 😂Is not easy.
WOMAN= So what is it that keeps you tied to this enthusiasm?
PIERO= Enthusiasm keeps us bonded, the desire that unites us to always do new things, never lose that passion for the profession we carry out, we consider ourselves three privileged individuals, because we do what we love, we do it every day, so we don’t there is something more beautiful.
WOMAN= And so we return to Sanremo, the piece is called MASTERPIECE, tell me a little about it, a little spoiler.
GIANLUCA= A small spoiler that can be done….more than anything it explains the feeling that is love, but told in a profound way, because sometimes you realize that you love, only when you look back, and sometimes you realize how special this person is, like how did I do without this person before I met them. Sometimes it’s as if it suddenly falls from the sky, but it can be love for a child, love in general, universal love, how important this feeling really is that moves the world.
PIERO= For us who sing it, each of us sings it in a different way, feels it in a different way, for me CAPOLAVORO speaks in a romantic way about hope, because maybe when you don’t find it in yourself, in the most difficult moments you hope for something outside of yourself.
WOMAN= So you hope something comes…..how you turn it is a nice message.
GIANLUCA= Yes, there are people who can really change your life. Growing up, doing introspection on yourself is important, to be able to understand, to recognize love as a feeling, then there are people who can enrich your life and make it better.
PIERO= It can be dedicated to someone, something, that feeling that literally changed your life, not just people.
WOMAN = Even a little awareness when you feel certain things. Guys, we were immediately a bit philosophical, but the piece requires it, because it actually has a beautiful message. I thank you, see you in Sanremo.
IGNAZIO= Thank you very much.
PIERO= Remember……it’s not easy.
WOMAN= With this enthusiasm, it’s not easy.
IGNAZIO= However you’ve seen, nothing has changed, they won’t let me talk. 😂😂😂
And then there is this which is not an interview, but a long reflection that makes you think a lot, a long tirade made by Luca Maggitti to the administration of the municipality of Montepagano and Roseto degli Abruzzi, read it and try to understand that it’s very ironic. I really liked it, well written Luca Maggitti, sometimes you need these “little digs”.
I remind you that Luca Maggitti is a journalist who lives in Abruzzo and who met Gianluca who was walking with his grandfather and they drank a coffee.
I bring you an old photo of Luca Maggitti and Gianluca.
Gianluca Ginoble – Il Volo THE AMBASSADOR OF ROSETO AND ABRUZZO IN THE WORLD RETURNS TO THE SANREMO FESTIVAL
In short: there is no two without three.
Gianluca Ginoble – from the ancient village of Montepagano in Roseto – will return to the stage of the most important Italian event in terms of occupying television, social media and any other space. Tens of millions of people in Italy will talk about the event (Sanremo Festival) and billions around the world will in some way be involved in the various references to the event.
Every time such a media circus takes place (all the media attention for Sanremo) I think of Gianluca sitting drinking a coffee in Roseto, speaking kindly to anyone who comes to say hello. And I have the image of a Ferrari left in the garage, for some souped-up Vespone to race in competitions where class and speed are needed. (Maggitti compares the kind and polite Gianluca to a beautiful world-class car, a Ferrari that is left in the garage, to race a Vespa, a famous Italian motorbike, remember the film Roman Holidays?)
Yes, because I ask myself: is it possible that Gianluca goes to Sanremo and no one in the Municipality (of Roseto) or Region (of Abruzzo) calls him – eight days before the start of the event – to congratulate him, incite him, encourage him?
Let’s be clear, we talk about politics and government at various levels and I certainly don’t expect the administrators to call him because they truly love the artist or his genre or appreciate this exemplary boy for education and culture, who has remained very polite despite a global success that we even have hard to imagine.
(Maggitti is really scolding the municipal administrators here, because Gianluca should be called not only because he is a great artist, but also because he is an exemplary boy in terms of education and culture, despite his great success)
I don’t expect this. Furthermore, I am biased because I have always respected him.
No, I want to be cynical and wretched to the core!
(Maggitti means that if they had been cynical, the administrators would have had to call Gianluca for at least other reasons, which he will now list)
If I were a public administrator – at various levels in Abruzzo, since Gianluca was appointed, years ago, ambassador of both Abruzzo and Roseto degli Abruzzi in the world – I would call him because Gianluca creates media hype. Because its social profiles generate more interactions than all those of the various municipalities, provinces and regions combined. Not to mention the Volo one.
I see Gianluca who for almost 15 years – in a few months it will be 15 – has spoken well (more: he speaks with love) about Roseto degli Abruzzi and Abruzzo, truly helping these territories to be known.
On the other hand, I don’t see equal interest on the part of those who govern, especially the tourist-cultural part of the territory. And I ask myself: why?
What is the point of this masochism?
A final reflection, remaining in Roseto, in the limited area of via Latini. And talking about tourism and – more generally – territorial promotion.
The part of via Latini that goes towards the sea, the one after via Nazionale, has a system of decorative lights at the top with the words of the famous “Nel blu painted di blu” (Volare) by Domenico Modugno. Good, great.
(He intends to remember that in the town of Roseto some lights have been installed with the words of Volare)
But, I wonder: we have Gianluca Ginoble who won the Sanremo festival at 10 years old, at his first participation, he chose to live in Montepagano di Roseto, where his roots are, he always speaks well of his birthplace and the territory, he is always available when it comes to visiting associations that work for the good of the area… and don’t we put “Grande Amore”?
Is it possible that it is so incredibly difficult to insert the words of “Grande Amore” on the “rambla” of Roseto degli Abruzzi (via Latini, in the part that goes towards the hill), perhaps by having him turn on the lights for the first time and have him sing alone and live a cappella the song?
Is it so difficult to respect an international pop star who lives where she was born and who has the only flaw of not being haughty? Not for him, I repeat.
He (Gianluca) now travels from Rai 1 upwards, from Canale 5 upwards, from Corriere della Sera upwards. (Maggitti means to say that the most important programs talk about Gianluca and Il Volo)
For us, for our struggling territory, for tourism with less than 100,000 visitors in two years… for the fact that no one queues there and that the very expensive VisitRoseto.it gets as many likes or visits as a site set up by a elementary school, to teach children to use the web.
Is it possible that we prefer to keep the Ferrari in the garage and go for challenges with the souped-up Vespone? But what’s the point?
Mayor Mario Nugnes, do you remember when I brought Gianluca Ginoble to the Oratory of the Campo dei Preti at the request of my friend Father Antonio Ghidoni, who wanted to meet him and who defined “Grande Amore” as a prayer, and in the homily invited the faithful to vote Il Volo?
Mayor, do you remember? You had frizzy hair and were tutoring in the afternoon, and Gianluca came to hug you (him, you!), telling me that you had been his afternoon teacher when he attended the Oratory?
If you don’t remember, I’ll put the photo from that day here.
Mayor, can we ask Ferrari for the favor of lending a hand to this little village, which is slipping more and more towards numerical inconsistency and which desperately needs a great recovery plan?
I don’t know if Gianluca Ginoble – who is preparing for yet another world tour on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of Il Volo – has time, but I know for sure that a photo of him, a reel or a thought is worth the sum of all the sites’ efforts, little sites, pages and little pages of our parts.
And if I say this it is because I myself have found my articles about him translated into English, Spanish, Romanian, Portuguese and more, on the web. And I am a poor journalist who would never otherwise have been translated! 😂
I, for the umpteenth time, put these reflections into it. You rulers – at any level – will do what you believe. I only hope that you are illuminated by the beacon of the common good and real progress in your daily work.
Whatever the case, my best wishes to Gianluca Ginoble and Il Volo, remembering the emotions of the 2015 victory, when he turned 20 exactly on the day of his debut as a competitor at the Festival.
Dàje sìmbre fùrte, Gianlù! (Abruzzo expression to say: “Come on, always strong, Gianlù “)
(Another old photo of Luca Maggitti with Gianluca)
Who knows if it was because of the article published by Luca Maggitti that the municipal administration of Roseto woke up??
We want to think that it wasn’t the article, but today, Friday 2 February, there will be an award for our Gianluca in Roseto. 🎉🎉🎉
This is the motivation.
On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the birth of ‘Il Volo’ and in view of its participation in the 74th edition of the Festival of Sanremo, the Municipal Administration of Roseto degli Abruzzi organized a ceremony to pay homage to the Rosetano singer Gianluca Ginoble who was a guest in the Council Room, at 11 am on Friday 2 February. In 2015, Gianluca Ginoble was awarded the title of ‘Ambassador to the World of the City of Roseto degli Abruzzi’ and the other two members of the ‘Il Volo’ trio, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto, were awarded the honorary citizenship of Roseto degli Abruzzi.
The ceremony, conducted by Francesca Martinelli, represented a moment to make the entire Rosetan community feel the affection towards Gianluca Ginoble, to relive his great career with him and to pay homage to him with a gift created for the occasion.
And here is the video of the awards ceremony.
The mayor expresses words of esteem and good wishes and Gianluca thanks everyone and tells little things about life in his town and the emotion he always has when he talks about his city which he will always carry in his heart. ❤️
And another video by a journalist, Luca Maggitti Di Tecco, from Il Messaggero who was at the event.
The administration gives Gianluca a jewel representing a Presentosa Rose and asks him to wear it also on the evening of the festival and Gianluca wears it immediately. Then Gianluca thanks and also wants to remember his brother Ernesto who collaborated with the team. 🥰
Then there was a really nice video by Antonella Clerici (she presented TI LASCIO UNA CANZONE) who wished Il Volo her “good luck”. ❤️
The guys from Il Volo are extraordinary, I met them in the first edition of TI LASCIO UNA CANZONE and they were put together, that is, they introduced themselves alone, Ignazio and Piero are Sicilian, while Gianluca is from Abruzzo. Since they were three “lyricists” even if with different voice tones, we formed this trio and it won all the episodes, it was really very, very strong. So it was clear that they had great talent, then it was Tony Renis who first brought them to the United States, then their manager Michele Torpedine understood their potential and first they had great luck in the United States, and then also in Italy.
I remember when they showed up at their first Sanremo festival with GRANDE AMORE, which was hosted by my friend Carlo Conti, I told him: “Carlo get ready because they will win the Sanremo Festival, I’m sure of it”, because in the televoting they were too much, too strong and also very good, then they were three young guys, people liked them, I knew their potential and in fact it was like that .
And now I wish them a big “good luck” for the next Sanremo festival.
As I have already told you, many newspapers of all kinds are talking about Il Volo.
This is a Gossip magazine, it talks about Il Volo’s girlfriends. I assure you that some are not reliable news, so I don’t waste time translating them.
Even the RAI news programs talk about Sanremo and therefore also about Il Volo.
WOMAN= Sanremo Festival, on the Ariston stage, among the competing artists Il Volo, with the song CAPOLAVORO, and on the cover evening, the homage to Queen. (a video starts)
MAN= Grown up, born on the Ariston stage at TI LASCIO UNA CANZONE, in the end you know Sanremo well.
PIERO= In 2009 we met at the Ariston, then we left and returned in 2015 with GRANDE AMORE, now, after 15 years, we are returning to celebrate this great achievement, which is both professional and personal.
MAN= Who knows what Ignazio was up to at 14 years old in the back stage of the theater.
IGNAZIO= But because I, sorry…..we combined all three. It was a way to grow quickly, because in the end we grew quickly.
MAN= CAPOLAVORO in Sanremo, isn’t it a bit risky to say it right away?
GIANLUCA= In fact we wanted to title it CAPOLAVORO in brackets perhaps…..
PIERO= Let’s hope….
GIANLUCA= Let’s hope. Obviously it’s not about us…
MAN= Queen for duet, this year.
PIERO= It will be a great moment to be able to share the stage with Steff Burns and we would like to thank Vasco Rossi (well-known Italian rock singer) for lending us his guitarist, thank you Vasco!
.……..and this is Vasco Rossi’s response!
Happy to lend my guitarist STEF BURNS to Il Volo in Sanremo…..on the cover evening….he will perform a Queen solo, WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER, I’m proud of him.
This interview on Radio Subasio is also very beautiful. Since at the beginning the questions are the same ones that are repeated several times, I start translating about halfway through the video.😉
RADIO SUBASIO
WOMAN=……do you sometimes argue too? Who is the most rebellious of the three? (Piero marks Ignazio with his hand)
WOMAN= Ignazio?
GIANLUCA= Every now and then it explodes, yes yes. But we have three completely different characters, but thank goodness it’s like this, because if we were the same, that creative spark wouldn’t strike, so everyone brings their own ideas, there are often contrasts but in the end we always manage to find the solution and the best for the group, well, this is important.
WOMAN= Of course, of course. But then in recent years a few things have changed in your life, we used to talk off the air, there are those who have coupled up (Ignazio), those who have exploded (Gianluca), what is the situation like, those who are single among you, do we want to say it?
PIERO= We have always tried to respect our private life and I believe it is also our duty, because we often say that we live two parallel lives, the professional life which takes up ten months of our life every year and our personal life, and we also want this to be the case. keep it.
WOMAN = It seems very right to me….
GIANLUCA= But anyway Ignazio is getting married!!
WOMAN= When Ignazio, when the happy event?
IGNAZIO = Next year.
WOMAN= So next year. Guys I wanted to tell you something else, in recent days we spoke with LA SAD (a punk group with colored hair that will be in Sanremo) and I asked them which artist (from Sanremo) they felt most in tune with and they told us Il Volo.
I even considered a collaboration with them and they said yes, absolutely.
How about? How do you respond to this proposal?
IGNAZIO= Well, they are young guys who…..
GIANLUCA= Young people, they are older than you Ignazio….(it’s true the members of La SAD are older than them)
IGNAZIO= Yes, but they are young kids in the sense of sending the message (Ignazio means that they are listened to more by young kids)
WOMAN= But can something be done?
GIANLUCA= It would be interesting, we recently met in Sanremo during rehearsals, a relationship of great respect was born, because everyone expresses their emotions in their art and it’s nice to see these differences. Everyone has space to demonstrate what they really are and we are all different, there is no right or wrong, better or worse, this is the beauty of music, so it will be wonderful to see these contrasts between Il Volo and La Sad, certainly in Sanremo .
WOMAN= Of course I agree, that’s why we’re very intrigued by this idea, this image of a collaboration between the two of you, have you ever seen it? I want to play a little game with you, to test your memory, if you agree.
PIERO= This worries me. 😁
WOMAN= Remembering the festival of a few years ago, for example Sanremo 2000, concentrate, Sanremo 2000…
PIERO= I was 7 years old….
WOMAN= You remember who won, even from hearsay, I will help you anyway because I give you three options…
IGNAZIO= Jo di Tonno (Italian singer).…
GIANLUCA= No, it was 2006…
WOMAN= I’ll give you the three options…
GIANLUCA = (to Ignazio) Jo di Tonno and I are the only people from Abruzzo to have won the Sanremo festival…
WOMAN= Oh yes, you see it!
PIERO= Do you know that I am the only Sicilian to have won the Sanremo festival?
GIANLUCA= Oh no, boy, he (Ignazio) is Sicilian…
PIERO= He’s from Bologna!
WOMAN= Guys three options for the 2000 festival, be careful: Gigi D’Alessio, Ivana Spagna or Piccola Orchestra Avion Travel? (All Italian singers)
GIANLUCA= Ah yes, “Sentimento” (it is the title of the song by the Piccola Orchestra Avion Travel)
WOMAN= Well done, great Gianluca, see what a memory! Instead, who was presenting the festival? Do you remember it? Who was there in 2000?
GIANLUCA= Fazio (an Italian presenter)
WOMAN= Good, you didn’t even need the help. Oh Gianluca, damn what a memory, well done, congratulations, you haven’t won anything, but thanks for being with us guys.
Good luck for the Sanremo Festival, we’ll meet again to hear about the fresh emotions we just experienced on the Ariston stage.
Thanks Ignazio, thanks Piero, thanks Gianluca.
Il Volo on the Sanremo 2024 stage, bye guys, thanks!
And to the happiness of many fans, this year’s summer concerts have been announced, all in Italy, here they are!! 🥳🥳🎉
But now the most beautiful interview, made by Gianluca Gazzoli for BSMT. There is the automatic translation and I urge you to activate it, because it is truly a beautiful interview, different from the usual ones, and to which our boys responded with sincerity and maturity and also with a lot of spirit.
To turn on captions click the gear button in the lower right corner of the video, then Subtitles. Then choose English from the list that appears.
The comments under this interview suggest that some people, seeing it, have changed their minds about how Il Volo has always been perceived (thanks to the Italian press)
Don’t miss this interview!!!
From school desks to the most prestigious stages in the world. Three boys who, at just 15 years old, have fascinated and conquered everyone with their extraordinary talent. Well yes, Il Volo passed through the BSMT.
An extraordinary career, started as teenagers and built with sacrifice, commitment and a lot of ambition. Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero told us how their lives changed suddenly, transforming them from simple fifteen-year-olds to world stars. Successes, family, friendship, recognition, surreal anecdotes, changes and much more. A chat in which their three very distinct personalities emerged and in which they indulged in confidences like never before.
FROM A WHOLE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE! IL VOLO passes through the BSMT
Certainly Caterina Boschetto’s words, at the beginning of the interview, contained a lot of truth.
“Know that if I sign your life will change, know that the responsibilities will become more, know that you can play but not like before, know that many things will change.”
I warned you that the media exposure of Sanremo is notable, and what I have reported to you are the best interviews of these days, but at every moment there is something new.
Immediately before the beautiful performance in Sanremo, Il Volo made this small clip to congratulate Radio Subasio for 45 years of activity.
I propose it because in any case we see Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, quite serene.
As soon as the performance was over, Il Volo was interviewed by Radio Italia. Or rather, only Piero and Gianluca were present, because Ignazio, as soon as the performance was over, left immediately.
Perhaps not everyone has already seen this interview, as soon as I heard the first sentences, my heart was filled with gratitude for Piero ❤ and Gianluca ❤, for the beautiful words of affection towards Ignazio.
Mario Volanti = Two of Il Volo came to visit us …
Piero = Two thirds of Il Volo …
Gian = Happy to see you.
MV = We greet Ignazio who had to leave immediately …
Piero = Do we want to thank Ignazio because he has the strength of a lion? If we are here today it is thanks to him.
Gian = Our great life and travel companion.
MV = How long have you been traveling together, guys?
Piero = 12 years.
Gian = It all started in 2009, right here, in Sanremo, at the Ariston. Then a few things happened.
MV = Do you still feel Italian or have you become a bit globalized?
Piero = Imagine. Perhaps the thing we have suffered most in recent years has been to do concerts only abroad before 2015. After 2015, thanks to Sanremo, we started doing concerts in Italy. I must say that when concerts are held in Italy it is always more beautiful. You feel close to home and this is nice for us, who spend 8/9 months a year away from our home, from Italy. However, abroad, the public manages to appease this lack.
MV = What was it like to sing on the Ariston stage, without an audience and in those somewhat particular conditions?
Gian = It looks like a soundcheck. But you are aware that millions of people are watching you. We lose empathy with the public, but we have given our best, because we must always try to be impeccable. We are really happy with this performance, but above all to be able to pay homage to the great Maestro Ennio Morricone. We are working on a new musical project, a record, with all the Maestro’s soundtracks sung, in English and Italian, from Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, to Once Upon a Time in America, Sacco and Vanzetti, to the Ecstasy of Gold. We are working on a very nice project, we hope.
MV = I have to pull your ears though. At the Sanremo Festival you are extra-elegant. Then come to us, in Palermo, in front of 100 thousand people, with t-shirts and jeans. Why?
Piero = Can I give you a great answer? When we come to you we feel at home. We make ourselves comfortable.
You are here now with the jacket and pants, as soon as you get home, you put on your tracksuit or pajamas, right? You make yourself comfortable ….
MV = Do you mean that next time you come to me in your pajamas?
Piero = With you we feel at home, we make ourselves comfortable.
Gian = We don’t come in pajamas though.
MV = You are highly forgiven.
Do you remember Palermo? (beautiful outdoor show in front of thousands of guys).
Piero = And who forgets it.
MV = Crazy. An infinite crowd.
Gian = We will be back. Very early.
MV = As soon as possible.
Piero = Have you already thought about it?
MV = In 2020 we had already organized Palermo. Then what happened happened. And it jumped. You, you came in 2019, the last RADIO ITALIA LIVE – THE CONCERT in Palermo. You made 100,000 people sing.
Gian = We will soon be back to normal. Let’s be optimistic.
MV = Thanks anyway, it has always been nice to have you as our guests, and hearing you sing is always something exciting, and unique, you are good.
P + G = Thanks
MV = What happens in the near future?
Piero = We are in full registration phase. It is a very delicate phase. When an artist works on a new musical project, he has that doubt: “Will he like it or will he not like it?” We can say that the name of Ennio Morricone clearly helps us a lot. In June we will hold this concert-event, dedicated to Ennio Morricone, taken up by all the American, Japanese, South American televisions and, we hope, a tour will follow in 2022.
Gian = There will also be duets, musicians and international singers.
Piero = But if you give us the date of the Radio Italia concert …
Gian =… We already fix it and we won’t have any commitments.
MV = Promise?
Best wishes for your production. Goodbye, at the next RADIO ITALIA LIVE – THE CONCERT.
P + G = With the T-shirt
MV = No, I fly you in my pajamas !! Bye guys!
P + G = Bye
For those who want to review the performance of Il Volo at the Radio Italia Concert in Palermo, here is the video.
What a fantastic performance, and what a beautiful choral participation of all the many young people of Palermo. We hope that soon, these beautiful experiences can be made again.
I am positive and we will do them again soon.
Now look at this photo, it is from 2017.
There are Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca with Hauser, the famous cellist, who was then part of the 2CELLOS. They had promised then to do something together but the common commitments never allowed it, but in these days has been published this beautiful video, a “virtual meeting”.
Really nice work and the song acquires a different but very sweet sound.
Listen.
Now in addition, I want to offer you this beautiful statement, made by Lello Analfino, who is a good Sicilian singer-songwriter, his songs are true poems.
Education and Respect are values that cannot be studied, cannot be bought, handed down from parents to children, you cannot lose them, if you have them you will have them forever no matter what happens. I would like to congratulate Messrs Barone and Boschetto for having handed down these values to their children.
Today I had the privilege of being able to personally verify the human depth of these two guys, who were guests in my studio which is then my home, and who made me fall in love with their vitality and their music that they communicate not only with their beautiful voices, but also through that simple way of being great artists. Thank God I make music and I still manage to be moved and the world still manages to amaze me.
PS = the following photo shows the swabs we made before starting work, so please don’t criticize our selfie because today the only thing I missed is not being able to hug and hold tightly these two guys too good . ❤❤
Lello Analfino
When words like this are written, which come directly from the heart, but also from the deep intellectual honesty, which admires respect and education, in addition to the undeniable skill ….. what to say ….. I am ecstatic and proud, almost as if they were my children.
And I’m sure Analfino didn’t get to know Gianluca, otherwise the compliments would surely have been extended to him too.
