IL VOLO: WORK IN PROGRESS by Daniela

With Il Volo you never get bored, once a project is finished they immediately start another.
Piero has just returned from a good performance at the New York Marathon and gave an interview to the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. Here is the video with English subtitles, made by Donalee of Il Volo American Fan Group We Are Love whom we thank so much!!

There isn’t much time to rest after this marathon, because Il Volo has announced this new tour in China, and it’s imminent.
Great news! From the end of November we’ll be performing some shows in China. 🇨🇳
Here’s the first date, stay tuned for more announcements:
24.11.2023 – Dr. Sun Yat-Sen’s Memorial Hall, Guangzhou
In reality there should be three dates, but for now only the first date has been confirmed by Il Volo.

Meanwhile, our three favorites have locked themselves in the recording room and are preparing new projects that we fans will await with great joy!!
Ernesto is also part of the new project as a songwriter.
I can’t wait to hear the results, I’m sure they will amaze us. 🥰

The various Italian newspapers are talking about Il Volo to understand whether or not they will participate in the Sanremo Festival, but the news is not yet confirmed.
Instead, while browsing through the various articles, I found this interesting one published by Prima Brescia, a Brescia-based newspaper, because if you remember, I told you that the orchestra that recently accompanied Il Volo in their events was actually from Brescia.
Here is the article and I translate for you only the part that concerns Il Volo.

The orchestra conductor who directed the young opera trio Il Volo speaks from Brescia.

His CV has plenty to tell, but recently many people from Brescia have recognized him on television and on tour with the opera trio Il Volo. Maestro Edmondo Moses Savio reconfirms himself as a Brescian pride. His involvement with one of the most followed musical trios of all time, starting from that fateful 2009 year in which Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble formed themselves as a group, was as a preparator and choir director at the Arena di Verona for the two concerts, on 1 and 3 May this year which were broadcast on time by Canale 5.

From Manerbio (a small town in the province of Brescia) to the direction of the Il Volo Orchestra

An occasion allowed the Maestro from Manerbio to be noticed for his professional qualities and ability to perceive change and bring the latter to the heights of the voices and instrumentalists he directs. The collaboration continues outside the borders of Verona in various concerts, in the role of conductor: in Ascoli in Piazza del Popolo last 21 July, at the Arcimboldi theater in Milan from 2 to 9 September, in mid-September a private concert for the American Embassy in Rome, back in the Verona Arena for the Tim Music Awards last September 20th broadcast on Rai 1.
“After the post-production in May for Canale 5 I was contacted for a zero date in Ascoli, if everything had gone well I would have continued at the Arcimboldi. An experience that makes you deal with needs and requirements different from the traditional ones in which there is no time to ‘philosophize’ everything takes place quickly, in the same day – said the director – I continued the summer with concerts scheduled with the Giuseppe Verdi Opera Choir of Brescia, and in August the call arrived to conduct the concerts in Milan.”

From opera to pop rhythms

A change of dynamics in orchestral conducting in the world of pop in which the man from Manerbio has been able to navigate at his best.
“An experience that I consider a very interesting parenthesis between the lyrical and baroque repertoire that I frequent the most – commented Savio – My first approach to the pop world was with the album by Renato Zero, (Italian singer) but with Il Volo we have gone further, into a field that is not the traditional one of classical music, in this case there is the need to stick to the times of making TV, there is the need to hear recommendations that may apparently seem superfluous but are subsequently found and they must be managed on a practical side, as happened in the two experiences in the Arena. It can be strange at first, but then by activating problem solving skills and experiencing this environment more and more, you discover very interesting dynamics.”
The interview then continues talking about maestro Savio’s other projects.

In recent days, Ignazio has published a beautiful photo of himself after going to the barber. The photo attracted the admiration of many fans and a newspaper wrote this nice article which I will translate for you. Read the final part carefully, full of beautiful words towards Il Volo.

Il Volo, Ignazio Boschetto changes his look and drives the fans crazy: what he did ?
Ignazio Boschetto of Il Volo suddenly changed his look: fans said they were over the moon with his new image.
The singer is certainly one of the most loved in the world of Italian and global entertainment, precisely because he was able to immediately attract the attention of the general public. He did it thanks to his friendliness and his talent, with which he was able to make space for himself in the musical field. It all started when he joined the musical trio Il Volo together with Gianluca Ginoble and Piero Barone. Since then, their musical path has literally taken off.

Now, waiting for their next work projects, Ignazio showed off a brand new look and all the fans went crazy.
Ignazio Boschetto changes his look: he is very different.
The famous singer of Il Volo appeared on social media very different from how we were used to seeing him: the artist has in fact decided to renew his appearance and his shot is now making the rounds on the web. Until now, everyone was in fact used to seeing him with semi-long hair and an irresistible beard: this was precisely the aspect that has always distinguished him since the beginning of his career.
Now things have changed, and Ignazio has opted for a clean cut to his hair but, above all, for a mustache that has attracted the attention of fans. A photograph of him while he is at his trusted beauty salon, which guaranteed him an impeccable look, is making the rounds on the web. Fans are already excited and can’t help but notice the singer’s beauty, despite his change in appearance.
In fact, numerous comments are arriving from followers, who have not missed the opportunity to comment and compliment him. “You are magnificent,” one of them wrote. And again: “This look suits you very much”, “You are truly divine”, “Splendid Ignazio”. It must be said that the messages from web users come from all over the world, also because the famous Il Volo trio is much loved all over the planet. The group has in fact fully represented Italy throughout the planet since the first moment it set foot in the world of entertainment.
Since then, the three have stood out for their grace, simplicity and above all for their impeccable talent. A voice, that of Il Volo, which will certainly remain in the history of world music.

And now let’s enjoy this beautiful ice skating performance done a few days ago in Slovakia, I don’t know what event it is or even the name of the skater, but I’m sure of its musical basis: Il Mondo sung by Il Volo!!! ❤️

This week has also been intense with work, who knows what they will be recording in the recording studio, there will certainly be many new features and also many changes, the time has come for Il Volo to show its professional growth, Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio, not they are more kids to guide in the world of music, they are mature men who have worked hard and who now want to demonstrate their artistic maturity to everyone. And we will be there to applaud them!! 🥰🥰🥰

IL VOLO: FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL CHIHUAHUA AND MORE by Daniela

When Il Volo is in Mexico it is a jubilation, a party for everyone.
Every person has their own way of showing affection towards their favorites, and the Mexican people certainly do not lack a voice.
There is really a lot of enthusiasm and participation, as demonstrated by the sound check that you can see in these short videos.
Il Volo is the guest of honor at the final of FICH2023, the Festival Internacional Chihuahua. The event took place in Plaza De Angel in Chihuahua, a beautiful, completely free concert.
Here is the song list:

And here’s what the Festival Internacional Chihuahua published.
Majestic closing of the Festival Internacional Chihuahua and the FICUU with a concert by Il Volo.
Over 20 thousand people applauded the performance of the Italian trio who delighted the audience in Plaza de Angel.
From midday the followers of the famous group met in the square to reach the best sites and admire their idols, managing to exceed the figure of 20 thousand attendees at the event.
The musicians of the Orquesta Filarmónica del Estado de Chihuahua arrived on stage at 8.30 pm where, directed by maestro César Velázquez Hernández, they would accompany “Il Volo” in his interpretations.
The chords of “Ecstasy of Gold” were played when Gianluca Ginoble, Ignazio Boschetto and Piero Barone, members of the internationally renowned group, appeared on stage showing off their great vocal talent.
In front of the excited cries of the audience, at 9.40pm the music of mariachis resounded as they took to the stage singing the well-known theme song by José Alfredo Jimenez “Ella” followed by “Si ci dejan”, both melodies interpreted in perfect Spanish by the singers.
The concert closed with his greatest success “Grande Amore”, in front of a unison ovation from the audience who applauded such a wonderful interpretation standing up.
Thanks Chihuahua, see you next year!

There are many videos, but I have chosen some which, although not very clear, make us hear the beautiful and numerous songs in Spanish that were performed.

 

The moment in which a fan expecting a baby asks to read the letter in which the sex of the unborn child will be discovered… a little girl!!

 

 

Truly a beautiful event, furthermore it is certainly a positive recharge for Ignazio, Gianluca and Piero to have had the affection of so many people again and it confirms that their songs and their way of singing are really liked.
Before leaving for Mexico, Il Volo was also the protagonist of a private event in Taormina.

 

Do you remember a year ago, Il Volo in Japan had a performance at the Kiyomizu Temple behind closed doors. Now that event is a film and will be shown in 15 Japanese cinemas in January. 🥰

Dates for 4 concerts in Japan have also been published.
April 25 NAGOYA
April 28 OSAKA
April 30 TOKYO
May 2 SAPPORO

Ignazio has started broadcasting FlokiBar live again on Twitch bosky_tv. In the first live broadcast the topic concerned commenting on videos sent by “new singers” and Bruno Farinelli, drummer of Il Volo, was also present. 😁

Then there was the publication of “explosive” news given by three journalists, namely that IL VOLO will be present at Sanremo 2024 as competitors…….oh my God!! 😱
I honestly think it’s good news, but also very fearful, first of all I hope  that the votes take quality into account and that there aren’t the usual prejudices about our young men, who will surely now be able to respond properly, they’re no longer kids of the past, they are mature men and have certainly thought carefully about their possible participation, but I must tell you that the news is not official yet, so let’s see what happens. 🤔
Here is the video that gives the news of Il Volo’s participation in Sanremo.
LATEST NEWS, the new IL Volo per Natale EP was released today, Friday 3 November.

Our three loved ones dressed in red are beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️

There are only 4 songs:

HAPPY XMAS (War is over) 

AMAZING GRACE

O TANNENBAUM

FELIZ NAVIDAD

We will listen to these 4 Christmas songs with joy, and at a continuous pace! 🥰
……and let’s not forget that Piero, to rest a little, will participate in the New York Marathon on Sunday 5 November. Seems he will have the number 38750.
We wish Piero GOOD LUCK!! 💪👍 😘

What do I have to say?
So much beautiful and new news, there isn’t a moment’s pause as there is immediately something new and I’m sure that our men will have more surprises coming!!
See you soon: Daniela 🤗
