Due to the fragment of the video relating to the Radio Number One interview, where it seemed that Piero and Gianluca had a difference of opinion, a video that we have already published here and we have already talked about, and despite the denials from Stefano Fisico who had interviewed Il Volo at that time and also by one of his colleagues, many Italian journalists and as many newspapers published that Il Volo was disbanding.
So all the newspapers reported the news that Il Volo had reached the end of the line, that the boys would split up and a lot of people believed these words, despite many fans (including me) writing that they didn’t believe these fake messages.
Some newspapers had even looked for the causes of the division, saying that the cause was Piero and for this reason he was already taking opera singing lessons on his own…..others wrote that the cause was Gianluca because his girlfriend (who no longer has ) with his contacts (his grandfather in the cinema field) had pushed him to undertake a career as an actor……others have written that the cause was Ignazio thinking about imminent marriage and that women divide groups.
Some articles even put all the concerts on the tour at risk, advising fans to be careful when buying tickets… Incredible!!
ALL THIS WAS EXTREMELY FALSE BUT THE NEWSPAPERS, FOR DAYS AND DAYS, CONTINUED TO WRITE THIS NEWS.
Only the journalist Alessi, of Novella 2000 a gossip newspaper, had the courage to go against the grain and make this video:
ALESSI= Good news, the guys from Il Volo are not separating, these days all the sites, newspapers etc. after there had been a small fight between two of the guys from Il Volo, they wrote that they are separating, that they will no longer be together, that everyone will go for themselves, reckless lives of soloists etc., among other things, even Rosario Fiorello had intervened to do a public appeal from VIVA RAI 2 (Fiorello’s show) to say not to separate, after 883 and Benji and Fede (groups that separated) don’t separate too.
Well they don’t separate, and not only that, next week I discovered that they will go to Fiorello as guests to reiterate that there are three of them and three of them remain.
And here we are at VIVA RAI, the morning television show (starts at 7.00), a successful comedy show hosted by Fiorello.
This show takes place outdoors in the RAI courtyard, but previously it took place in a street in Rome, precisely in via Asiago and people protested because it was an early morning show (to be broadcast at 7.00 the workers start much earlier ) furthermore people can also go and watch the show, so there was a lot of disturbance for the people who lived in that street and after complaints, the show was moved to the RAI courtyards.
But Fiorello, who is a naughty boy, wanted to spite the inhabitants of Via Asiago yet again, together with Il Volo, who lent himself to this gag that I translated for you. 😂😂😂
FIORELLO= Good morning friends, you see me, I’m alone. I still have to change for the episode. It’s 4.30 am, very early, it’s dark at night.
Now we will connect with Via Asiago, you remember via Asiago, we were there before and they miss us. 😂
Someone told us and then we returned to Via Asiago, at the moment Biggio Fabrizio is there. (Fiorello’s collaborator)
Fabrizio are you there? Fabrizio can you hear me?
There it is, there, I see you!
BIGGIO= Yes, I’m here, I’m here, I’m in Via Asiago.
FIORELLO= Is everything quiet there?
BIGGIO= There is an incredible silence. You can’t hear a fly.
FIORELLO= Where was Glass once? (their glass station)
BIGGIO= Here, Glass was here (he points to a point on the road)
FIORELLO= Yes, yes. Do we want to go back to the old days and bring some good humor to Via Asiago?
BIGGIO= We are here on purpose! We are here on purpose!
FIORELLO= Who is with you, who is there
BIGGIO= I’m not alone, I’m not alone exactly, there are the guys from Il Volo, look!
Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero imitate the three musketeers by shaking hands and saying: “One for all and all for one” and giving each other the names of the three musketeers.
GIANLUCA= The atom is divisible but we are not.
PIERO= Il Volo united, will never be defeated (paraphrasing a well-known song)
IGNAZIO= There will be no Yoko Ono to divide us!
PIERO= (To Ignazio) You want to be Pooh (a group that split up!)
IGNAZIO= No!
BIGGIO= (to Fiorello) Here, you see, you saw Rosario, they are united….all these voices….they are united.
FIORELLO= Leave the rumors alone, then let’s do that thing over there…
BIGGIO= We are ready.
FIORELLO= Those of Via Asiago will be happy, whenever you want, go.
BIGGIO= So guys (call Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca) let’s sing your great success.
IGNAZIO= 3×2 six
PIERO= Why are you 3×2?
GIANLUCA= Again??
BIGGIO= Yes, Big Love, but keep your voices down guys….
PIERO= If they wake up they will kick us out…..
BIGIO= Here we go…
GIANLUCA= (he intones in a low voice) Tell me why when I think, I only think of you….
PIERO= (also, in a low voice) Tell me why when I see, I only see you….
IGNAZIO= (also him, in a low voice) Tell me why when I live, I live only in you….
I+P+G= (all very loudly) Big Loveeeee
IGNAZIO= Sleepyheads!!!!
FIORELLO= Run away, run away!!
IGNAZIO= Don’t sleep!!!
FIORELLO= Stop, stop, throw everything away!! See you later, theme song, what’s up, I don’t know what’s up. Sssshhhhh!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Fiorello, you are truly unstoppable and those kids Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero who listen to you!!
What a laugh!! 😂😂
And now, here we are now in the internal square of RAI.
The performance of Il Volo begins outside with the song Capolavoro. Unfortunately the day is not hot and it is drizzling.
Wow, how wonderful, shame about the weather.
Well done Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca and the two dancers are also very good, but what a very hot dance!!! 🔥🔥 But weren’t they cold? The water in the pool was warm, but what courage and what hot kisses!!
A very beautiful performance, technically, but perhaps not exactly ideal for the day, but with music like this, with voices like this, a masterpiece was needed.
The performance continues inside the Glass Box with a succession of gags that I will translate for you.
FIORELLO= More united than ever, truly more united than ever, you know that rumors are chasing each other over a small spat…. guys, how many times, how many squabbles, I and you (to Biggio) but we don’t break up (and they sing a song that says…but we will never leave each other, we have too many things together, if we get angry then we will find ourselves with three body and a soul) 😂😂😂 if we prepared it, we would never have done it so well!
Gentlemen, here we are. First, however, I present to you something incredible, because there is something that no one knows, because as you know these guys now, they weren’t like this before. Just think, before they were a rap-trap group (laughter).
What, did you laugh? I know, they were called La Dark Volo Gang, look (and there’s a video of a Fiorello show from 2019 where Il Volo imitated rap singers and sing Caruso in rap mode….🤣🤣🤣 then they start Capolavoro)
Il Volo, I Voli, so here we are, here we are finally, I couldn’t wait for you to arrive…(Gianluca continues to hug Piero and Ignazio)
PIERO= Please, will you remove it from back here? (Gianluca)
GIANLUCA= No, I have to stay among you, because we are a united, cohesive group, we won’t break up like the others!!
PIERO= Well done Gianluca!
IGNAZIO= (starts singing the song…..we will NEVER break up….)
FIORELLO= Look at the record company how happy they are (happy that they aren’t separating). In the meantime, look at how beautiful this is (photo by All for One, then he shows the tour dates, ) it’s incredible guys.
GIANLUCA= But we didn’t come to promote the tour…… but our tour will start in May at the Verona Arena.
FIORELLO= And will we be there from May?
PIERO= Did you buy the ticket?
FIORELLO= No! I will never pay for one of your concerts…..(laughter).…but you think I pay, they invite me…I’ve already seen them.
Seeing a show is refreshing for me, because I sit down and see the talent, these wonderful voices that intertwine. I would like to be the fourth of Il Volo, (he tries a high note), without instead doing (he intones Tirichitolla), this is our hit that sooner or later we will do.
Before starting everything, give me the books, do you have them?? (Every time there is a guest, Fiorello shows off books with ridiculous labels). They not only make music, but they also have a publishing activity and here it is their new book (Fiorello shows the book written by Fabio Volo, on which they removed the name Fabio with a sign and wrote IL so that you read IL Volo ), you see it’s their book!
How long did it take you to write this book?
IGNAZIO= Two days.
FIORELLO = Did you write it with three hands? But you were wrong, you wrote Fabio …
and then there are the other books, travel books, obviously one each:
TAKEOFF (with the photo of Gianluca) 🤣
HIGH ALTITUDE (with the photo of Ignazio)😂
LANDING (with Piero’s photo)🤣
and then the small one, you see: LOW COST (laughter) 🤣😂🤣
GIANLUCA= But I see it has a preface by Fabio Volo! 😂
FIORELLO= We don’t miss anything, we are quite didactic.
But technology has also taken care of you, and I have allowed myself to ask a question to our artificial ignorance. 😂
PIERO= Ignorance??😂
FIORELLO= Yes, we have artificial ignorance.🤣
So, Ignorance: Il Volo.
IGNORANCE= (in an artificial voice) Thanks for the question Rosario Fiorello, because I have always liked Il Volo, even if they could have chosen a name that you could immediately understand that there are three.
Il Volo have been together since they were children, since Ti Lascio Una Canzone, when they were still in nursery school.
Even though they are beautiful, do you ask the tall one if he is single? 😂
FIORELLO= Are you single? (to Ignazio)
IGNAZIO= No.
IGNORANCE= The tall one, (doesn’t know the name) I’ll leave you my cell number, which is: 12##13.😂😂
FIORELLO= But what number is it? What number is that, sorry Ignorance?
IGNORANCE= And they sang with Barbra Streisand and Placido Domingo, not like you three (Fiorello and his two friends), who do the job of making jokes (the comedians), I would send you to dig.
This time I really studied the guests, did you know that Il Volo has sold, to be precise, a number of millions of records, even gold and even platinum, like even in Venezuela. Sorry if I’m too precise, but I wanted to, now Rosario Fiorello, I have to leave you because I have an audition to join an all-female artificial musical band, we thought we’d call ourselves The Three Ignorances, or The Very Ignorant, what do you think?
FIORELLO= The three ignorances.😂
IGNORANCE = Happy extinction to everyone, that is, I was saying, a big hug to everyone.
FIORELLO= No, you have extinction, you said happy extinction to everyone, you said it!
We salute our artificial ignorance. (applause)
So, dear Volo, you have fun when these rumors are going around, look at them here how beautiful they are, let’s hug them, come here.
GIANLUCA= But then they said everything, that Piero takes lessons on his own…🤬
FIORELLO= Who takes lessons alone???
PIERO= Me
FIORELLO= But why there is a singing school to be a soloist, I don’t understand, it seems to me…..
GIANLUCA= But then they are mean, they say that Gianluca is going to America, because there are girls who ruin groups…. don’t spread rumors that aren’t true!! 🤬
IGNAZIO= John Lennon calm down.
GIANLUCA= Everything you read IS NOT TRUE!! 👏👏👏
IGNAZIO= Unfortunately it’s fake news!!😂
FIORELLO= Guys, I’ll take care of it, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. 😂
PIERO= But how many distractions, my goodness.
(Ignazio starts the song Capolavoro)
Do we want to play a game? You have done everything and we have to renovate you, give me a lyric of the song, for example one of your lyrics….
IGNAZIO= You seem like my hairdresser..” we need to renovate”…
FIORELLO= So they tell you… do we have to renovate?…
PIERO= Yes and then you always come out bald! 😂
FIORELLO= Are you ready? Guys, here we have the lyrics of Nessun Dorma, but we have to restructure it, let’s see if we can do it.
PIERO= The orchestra???
FIORELLO= The orchestra is there! (there is only the pianist) 😁
For the first time I will have Il Volo who will be my backing singers with a cheerful samba….(a samba starts to the beat of which Fiorello and Il Volo sing the lyrics of Nessun Dorma) 😂😂😂😂
It is being renovated and this is Il Volo low cost!!
Look, Sanremo went well, though!
IGNAZIO= Yes, we had fun.
FIORELLO= Is it the third Sanremo or the fourth?
IGNAZIO= It’s the third Sanremo, it went well, it depends on what point of view you look at it.
FIORELLO= But what have you done:
first once, you came first once.
GIANLUCA= Once third and once eighth.
PIERO= We miss finishing last!
FIORELLO= No, it’s good, you won’t be there next time because you’ll be traveling around the world.
PIERO= Yes
FIORELLO = Gentlemen, now to seal the love, at 8.02 am, there is a song, a duet, the duet of duets which is “Non Amarmi” (it is a beautiful song that won Sanremo New Proposals 1992)
PIERO= Who is Alessandro Baldi? (The song was sung by Alessandro Baldi, a young blind man and by Francesca Alotta)
FIORELLO= I play Baldi and you play Alotta and we translate the song into the plural, we pluralize it.
IGNAZIO= Ok
PIERO= (music begins) But this is THE SHOW MUST GO ON by Queen!!
(they start singing the song, and of course the words of the chorus have been changed to adapt them to Il Volo’s situation with the Italian journalists)
IL VOLO = “Don’t love us for the sake of something different”
FIORELLO = “But do you think it’s right to spend time together”
IL VOLO = “Don’t love us and we realize how true a lie is, if your love is not worth it, don’t love us but don’t send us away.”
FIORELLO= It couldn’t have come out better!!
Gentlemen, now and forever. IL VOLO.
Two selfies with Il Volo!! 🥰🥰🥰
A few words with Il Volo 😍😍😍
MAN= Good morning guys, good morning, Il Volo to Viva Rai 2, how was this morning.
PIERO= It’s finally stopped raining.
MAN= Are you happy that it stopped raining?
PIERO= Very happy.
MAN= I saw you this morning a little worried about the rain.
PIERO= But that’s two drops of water.
GIANLUCA= But why is Fiorello there to put you in a good mood!!
IGNAZIO= Two small drops of water…..the umbrella, the umbrella!! (imitates Piero)
GIANLUCA= We had fun, thanks to everyone as always.
MAN = Beautiful Capolavoro!
PIERO= Thanks!
MAN= Now the world tour awaits you.
IGNAZIO= In May at the Verona Arena, see you there.
GIANLUCA= And Caracalla in Rome.
IGNAZIO= Yes, Caracalla in Rome.
PIERO= At the Baths of Caracalla, but first let’s go to Japan.
MAN= First in Japan and then Rome, but which is the stage you are most looking forward to?
PIERO= Rome.
GIANLUCA= We are in Rome and we say Rome.
MAN= Ah ah, of course, it depends on where you are. Thanks guys, bye, bye.
Do you remember the ballet performed at the beginning to the music of Capolavoro?
The choreographer of that ballet is Luca Tommassini, a famous Italian choreographer who also worked with Madonna.
At the beginning of Il Volo’s career, when they were little and in America, he was the one who instructed them on how to move on stage, I also seem to remember that he appears in a PBS video while giving the kids some advice on stage.
However, the video of the performance on Capolavoro was interrupted at the end of the song but live, our boys complimented the choreography, remembering that it is by Luca Tommassini and he, who was present, published this comment on his Instagram page:
I’m so proud of these three guys, I’ve never talked about my experience with them, the first American tour that I directed… They were so small and so phenomenal that it was an honor to personally accompany them on many of the North American stops… I still remember the first ones hosted on the most important shows in America… The first messages from the biggest music stars…. In a few months the world fell in love with them… I did everything to support them. I also bought him outfits for the first shows, I cut his hair😅… In short, I loved them and I still love them❤️❤️❤️ Thanks again to the whole #vivarai2 team and again to our wonderful dancers Giulia and Cristian ❤️❤️🙌 (the water was hot😅) Long live Rosario Fiorello!!
And do you remember Stefano Fisico, the one who interviewed them on Radio Number One and who had made a video against the journalists who wrote about Gianluca and Piero’s argument?
After Fiorello’s show he posted this:
“My compliments to all the pseudo-journalists who, in order to click on the newspapers or pseudo-newspapers with which they collaborate, invented this fake news on the dissolution of Il Volo taken from an interview of mine. In fact, we can see that they are close to doing so 🤣🤣🤣
As Emilio Fede (Italian journalist) would say:
What a figure of shit.”
Click here to view the comment by Stefano Fisico
Eleonora Venturini Storaro also had to make a statement that put an end to this false news, and so we definitively read, as we suspected, that she and Gianluca are no longer a couple.
It’s not my business to publish this type of story and I’ve tried to stay out of it as much as possible, but given the circumstances I feel I have to protect myself.
I wanted to communicate that all the news that has come out in recent days regarding my involvement and that of my grandfather Vittorio Storaro regarding the dissolution of “IL Volo” for a possible career of Gianluca Ginoble as an actor in Hollywood are totally false.
Furthermore, the love story between me and Gianluca ended 4 months ago for reasons that have nothing to do with our respective professional activities.
Eleonora Venturini Storaro.
Of course, after this Fiorello show, all the newspapers are publishing that Il Volo will never split, that it was just false news!!
I still can’t understand the Italian press and I don’t think I will ever understand it, but there is one positive thing, in this period the news on Il Volo, even if false, have invaded all types of newspapers and I must say there have been many comments begging Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca not to split up.
But do you think that once Fiorello’s show was over the boys had a well-deserved rest??
Absolutely not, because they immediately went to Naples, where the following day they were expected for a private event for FinecoBank at the beautiful San Carlo Theater in Naples.
There was a real mini concert by Il Volo, but here are a few short videos.
I wanted to point out one thing to you, and then I hope not to return to this topic again.
You have noticed that Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio are dressed in their nice suits, this silences the rumors that they did not appreciate their new look, but as I have already told you several times, they adapt to the place and the public. Very good guys!!
At this point the post was finished, but……as usual the news chases each other and therefore the release of the new CD on March 29th was announced, and the title is AD ASTRA!!
New album AD ASTRA. Out March 29th.
Now available for pre-order http://ilvolo.lnk.to/AdAstra
And here are the songs that make up the compilation:
The new album will be available in these versions:
Il Volo published this:
Ad Astra is a sound journey composed of 11 tracks with an international flavor that arrives after the participation in the 74th Sanremo Festival with Capolavoro, a real tailor-made suit, sewn on the three distinct and complementary personalities of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble.
It is a one-of-a-kind recording project, born from intense work shared with an exceptional team made up of some of the most important authors and producers of the moment.
The new songs draw a bridge between the past and the present, with a decisive impulse towards the future: a true cosmic experience without borders, between intimate atmospheres and celestial suggestions, with which the most famous Italian trio in the world combines their talent musical to the grandeur of space and time.
We also remember that there will be a duet song with IRAMA.
As I already told you, Ernesto Ginoble, who was one of the promoters of this CD, is also part of the new recording project.
He is the youngest soul of Il Volo!
Ernesto published these beautiful words:
I am proud, happy and satisfied to be part of the Artistic Direction together with Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero of AD ASTRA, the first album of unreleased songs by @ilvolomusic out on March 29th.
It is almost impossible to summarize two years of work in a few lines, two years of passion, friendship, sacrifice, obsession.
In Ad Astra there is everything about us, the love and care that we put into every song, into every single moment that allowed this project to be born and realized.
Thank you Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero for this opportunity.
Thank you @edwynroberts, Thank you @stemarletta, Thank you @michaeltenisci, without you all this would never have happened.
Thank you @lucafaraone, pure talent, rare soul.
Thank you @______michelangelo, true friend and professional.
Thanks to all the authors and producers who were part of this project.
Thanks @sonymusicitaly and @epicrecordsitaly for the support and trust.
Thank you @enricobrun and @patti_carmelo for taking care of every detail.
Thanks Michele Torpedine, lighthouse, guide.
We can’t wait for you to be part of this journey too.
With all my heart, Ernesto.
Very good Ernesto, you are officially part of the Il Volo staff, congratulations to you and the Ginoble family and fingers crossed for the success of this CD.
Also Studio Aperto, the Italia 1 news program, has already spoken about the new project:
IGNAZIO= It’s been 15 years of union, 15 years of esteem and respect.
PIERO= The beautiful thing is that perhaps our audience has always followed us from day one, assisted us and accompanied us along the way in our growth, which was not only artistically professional, but also personal.
WOMAN’S VOICE= Other than a crisis, the masterpiece of the Il Volo trio comes from this song which celebrates the culmination of 15 years of career.
GIANLUCA= We started when we were 14 or 15 years old, we grew up together and shared the most intense emotions of our lives and that’s what truly unites us in a unique way. This is our relationship.
WOMAN’S VOICE= The album AD ASTRA, composed for the first time entirely of 11 unreleased pieces, will be released on March 29th.
A project born from the collaboration with some of the most important authors and producers of the moment.
And then a world tour starting from Japan, the four special evenings at the Verona Arena and sixteen summer events throughout Italy.
PIERO= We want to invite everyone to our concerts.
But because this title AD ASTRA, I must say that it is not Italian, but Latin, and is part of a famous phrase, here it is:
PER ASPERA AD ASTRA (For aspera to astra)
It literally means “through difficulties to the stars” and is used to encourage someone, as if to say “you will make it”.💪
And so my dear Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero, we, who love you so much, will always be here for you, to applaud you, to give you all the affection you deserve and we will take you… to astra!!🌟✨💫
With love: Daniela ❤️❤️❤️🤗
One last video that will make you very happy:
What a masterpiece! 2024 Italian Pair Champions Rebecca Ghilardi and Filippo Ambrosini perform “Capolavoro” to a full house at the Torino Palavela. 👏👏👏
