On 20 October, Il Volo received a nice award from the Italian Red Cross. The news was published by the newspaper “Il Messaggero” of which I am translating the parts concerning our boys.
In one of the most complex years ever due to the Covid pandemic, the Charity Event will be held tomorrow evening at 19:30, supported by the Italian Red Cross with the Rome Film Festival, promoted by the Barletta Group with the organizational direction of Agnus Dei di Tiziana Rocca.
The Charity Event will be a moment of study and scientific reflection on the health emergency. Contributions from the Italian Red Cross will be presented. Also scheduled are interventions and direct testimonies of associations and individuals personally involved in the fight against Covid in Italy and in the world.
The Il Volo group that accompanied fans from all over the world with their music during the health emergency will be present at the event. A constant awareness commitment for Piero Barone, Gianluca Ginoble and Ignazio Boschetto who continue to be close to the Italian and world fans who have been following them for 10 years.
During the evening, Il Volo will receive an award from the Italian Red Cross in recognition of the commitment and awareness made and aimed at the public and the new generations to whom they have dedicated positive and hopeful messages during the hardest period of our country.

In his tweet he wrote as follows: At the Charity event in favor of @crocerossa the legendary boys of @ilvolo! Thanks @piero_barone @IBoschetto and @ GianGinoble (he was there too, I swear 😉): your voices really gave us emotion!
Yes, because Il Volo also enlivened the evening with two beautiful songs: Nessun Dorma and Your Love.
Unfortunately there are only short videos, like this one, recorded and posted by Eleonora Daniele, a well-known Italian TV presenter.

But the good news does not end there, on October 22nd the single ECSTASY OF GOLD was released, from the film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
The lyrics of this song were written specifically for Il Volo by Andrea Morricone.
Here is the comment from the newspaper: Theater and Music .
“Il Volo pays an extraordinary homage to Ennio Morricone with The Ecstasy of Gold, the main motif created by the Maestro for the soundtrack of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. This is how one of the most popular music of 55 years ago becomes so a wonderfully timeless song in 2021. The talent of the three boys is beyond dispute: it is a pity to have a text in English, which certainly makes the song more international but deprives it of some of its authentic Italian character. “
The new single will be downloadable from all digital platforms, and soon, we will see the video shot for this single.
But there are still news, Il Volo on November 27 will perform a concert in ISHGL in Austria.
Here is the announcement:
“What do we do at the beginning of the season or The Top Of The Mountain Opening Concert has prepared for you? 🤔
For the made in Italy sound fireworks, we scratched deep into our makeup box – not only the pop star #Alice, but also the pop opera trio @ilvolomusic 🤩-We are waiting for you!
ℹ All other information on the concert and on health measures are available on our website and on our BIO!”
So a lot of good news, but other it will still come.
Congratulations to Il Volo for having obtained recognition from the Italian Red Cross.
The new single is amazing, what wonderful voices, I can’t wait to see the video, and you ??
Daniela
Come in and share the love of life, friends and Il Volo!
