IL VOLO WORLD TOUR: SOFIA and MADRID by Daniela

Il Volo has therefore reached the last three concerts for this long tour full of successes, warmth and applause.

November 2 BULGARIA

Exactly in SOFIA at the National Palace of Culture.
Il Volo will hold two concerts on the same day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening, evidently there was a lot of demand for tickets.
This summary video published by BG SOUND with these beautiful words:
“An entire unforgettable day with our beloved Il Volo! Room 1 of the National Palace of Culture was music, colors, beautiful longings and romance… it was Italy!
Il Volo once again demonstrated to the Bulgarian public how special she is to them, and the public responded with all their love.
Check out this Great Love for Each Other in the special video we created for you!”

NELLE TUE MANI

MY WAY

IL MONDO

MISERERE

NO PUEDE SER

HERE’S TO YOU

GRANDE AMORE

Some great moments with little fans 🥰
This time I want to share with you these beautiful black and white photos taken during rehearsals.
And these during concerts.
And so the last date of the tour in SPAIN has arrived and exactly:

6 November MADRID

The concert was at the WIZINK CENTER.
My Spanish friend Carmen, who met Il Volo during Eurovision 2015, had never seen their live concert and this time in Madrid, she finally got to see and hear them.
Needless to say, she was enthusiastic and we will soon read her review here.
It was a very heartfelt tour finale, Piero Ignazio and Gianluca sang several Spanish songs and added songs until they sang 30 in total and they always spoke in Spanish with their audience.

NELLE TUE MANI start of the concert and first speech in Spanish followed by start of GRANADA.

UN AMORE COSÌ GRANDE (in Spanish)

CAPOLAVORO

This video was published by Sony Classical Spain with these words:
“Il Volo great evening in Madrid which concludes its European tour.”

SOMOS NOVIOS

This is the only solo sung by Ignazio in Madrid. Before starting, Ignazio made a beautiful dedication to his wife and all the lovers. (I translate spannometrically)
IGNAZIO= What a romantic this teacher is.
Well, I want to tell you a story and I hope to be as brief as possible.
In my life I have always wanted the value of family, the value of love, not only with respect to my life but also thinking about who the love of my life could be, and I always thought I couldn’t have it because they were just words. Last year life surprised me, it gave me the moment in which I met the person who is now my wife (applause). I’ll just tell you one thing, I had reached a point that I was tired and rightly so when I have to understand or explain that I understand what love is, when they ask me “Why do you love her?” I can’t give explanations because I talk about the best things in the world and this is the truth of love, when you don’t explain why you love someone so. So I dedicate the next song to all the people who are in love or who are falling in love and to all of you.

IL MONDO (in Spanish)

AMOR VIDA DE MI VIDA

HALLELUIAH

Piero begins the presentation of the song by dedicating it to all the people of Valencia who are suffering from the flood.
The result is a very long round of applause from the people who appreciate and share their thoughts for the many victims of Valencia and for all the people who are suffering. 😥🙏
The beautiful and moving words of Il Volo for the people of Valencia were also taken up by the Spanish news.
WOMAN= The world of music is close to the tragedy of Valencia. The Italian group Il Volo who sang in Madrid dedicated the concert to the victims of Valencia and were very moved by what had happened.
IGNAZIO= When these tragedies happen, they don’t just affect the country where it happens, but they affect the whole world.
MAN= They dedicated the concert to the victims of the flood, the Italian group Il Volo.
PIERO= Tonight we dedicate the concert to all the people who are suffering from what is happening in Valencia and we hope that with our music we can provide a moment of comfort.
I found this beautiful photo of Gianluca accompanied by these beautiful and appropriate words that I propose to you:
“Interpreting the great songs of the past is like knocking on the door of the soul of the person who created those words, trying to understand the silences, the unspoken emotions, the silent desires.
It’s not just about singing a melody, but about immersing yourself completely in it, making it resonate in your being, like an actor who merges with his character. It is a heavy responsibility, because interpreting is much more than performing: it is giving new life to an art that does not belong to you, but which you choose to cherish for an instant, with the reverence of someone who knows they are passing through something eternal.”
Some photos of the concert.
I’m really super happy that the tour is over and was a great success every step of the way.
It was tiring but worth every single moment of joy, hard work, love from all the fans.
Do you think that between the Sofia and Madrid dates, since there were four days, the boys rested? In reality they made a trip to Milan where they recorded their presence in the episode of the Italian television show ZELIG which will be broadcast before the end of the month on Canale 5.
Short amateur video of ZELIG recording
However, with the concert on November 6th in Madrid the tour is over and so do you think that the boys are finally resting? Once again no!!
Today is November 8th and Il Volo is already in Chile where it will participate in the TELETHON charity event!

But then will they rest? Not yet! Why did a newspaper give this news:

At the G7 on Tourism in Florence there will also be a concert by “Il Volo”

CLICK HERE to view the REPUBBLICA article

The appointment with the meeting of ministers is from 13 to 15 November. The musical group will perform on the evening of the 14th at the gala dinner at Palazzo Gondi.
From 13 to 15 November Florence hosts the meeting of the G7 Tourism ministers, the first in history to be entirely dedicated to the sector. The meeting will be chaired by Minister Daniela Santanchè. The ministers and heads of delegation from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and the European Union will meet at a discussion table on Tourism, to affirm the right political recognition for the sector, in consideration of its economic, social and cultural importance.
I really don’t have any more words, but so much admiration for Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio for all these numerous commitments.
You guys are formidable, but you too are not made of steel so take care of yourselves and…..full speed ahead!!
See you very soon: Daniela 🤗

SUMMARY OF CHRISTMAS EVENTS by Daniela

Since the last time I wrote a post, it’s amazing how many things our guys have done, but let’s try to retrace all their commitments.

Milan was also embellished with beautiful IL VOLO posters.

 

Summary 01

On December 17, Il Volo takes part in the presentation in Bologna of the new book by dear friend Bartoletti: ALMANACCO DI SANREMO. The boys were kind and affable to everyone.

Summary 02

At the end of the evening, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca recorded a video message dedicated to Sinisa Miajlovich (coach of the Bologna football team, currently suffering from leukemia). Here are some of the beautiful words written by Bartoletti.

“When the presentation of a book ends with Il Volo that stands up to go to dedicate ‘Grande Amore’ to Arianna Miajlovich sitting in the front row (then asking her cell phone to send a private encouragement video to Sinisa) there would already be very little to be added. Yet before, there had been … everything else. Between participation, joy and even a little emotion. With the acquired certainty that the A of Almanac is the same as A of Friendship (Amicizia ): and also the A of Love (Amore).

Difficult to find the words to thank Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero who came on PURPOSE to give us their affection.”

Summary 03

Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio, have also been to visit an exhibition in Bologna, dedicated to Italian music “NOI, NON ERAVAMO SOLO CANZONETTE”.

Summary 04

On December 19th, Il Volo performed in Monte Carlo, in the “Christmas Time in Monte Carlo” event. 

Summary 06

Summary 12

Then, Il Volo announces a surprise for all the fans, a free and live mini concert, which will be held on 20 December outdoors, in front of the Milan train station.

Unfortunately on December 20 there is a horrible weather, it rains a lot and there is cold wind, but as promised, the boys do the mini live as announced.

Summary 07

 

 

 

We must make a big and warm applause to the guys who performed despite the impossible weather, but also to the fans who attended, despite the cold, wind and tremendous rain.

22 December

On RAI1 there is a television program I SOLITI IGNOTI, which is done for charity purposes,TELETHON. During the broadcast there will be many guests, including IL Volo, the aim is to guess who the people are, through clues. In the end, Il Volo knows exactly how to guess and the result of the evening of the game and the phone calls from home will go to charity.

The program was a lot of fun, the boys also sang two songs. Many laughs. Here is a  video of the whole evening.

If you have a problem hearing the audio part of “Grande Amore”  a link below will take you directly to the Sicilian Facebook Fan Page. You should be able to hear it there. 😊

What a sweet and beautiful song, Christmas is coming !! ❤️

June 29 – Barcelona
July 11 – Lodz

Summary 10

During the Christmas holidays, Piero went to Cortina for a holiday in the snow, together with friends.

 

A nice piano arrived at Gianluca’s house and, in a short time, Gian cheered us up with this nice video, where he sings and PLAYS his new piano, good Gianluca!!

Instead on New Year’s Eve, a short video published by Red Ronnie made us discover Ignazio playing the guitar during a song with friends.

And on the first day of the new year, this beautiful video was released. It was done with the aim of sensitizing young people to turn the radio volume down or off while parking, because loud music could divert attention from the maneuver.

Very nice guys, who lent themselves to this video !!

Summary 13

In short, a very busy period for Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, but it did not end here, on January 3, they will be guests on RAI1 in the LA PORTA DEI SOGNI program, also they should be guests of PORTA A PORTA with Bruno Vespa.

I can’t wait to see them again at Porta a Porta !!

Summary 11

Dear all,

I want to apologize to all of you for being absent for a long time, without any explanation, from this site.

I am very sorry that this happened and that I was not present for Christmas and New Year greetings. 

I have had a very difficult period, because of health problems in my family, which have not yet been solved.

It wasn’t very happy days, but I have thought of you all.

So even if late, accept my best wishes for a happy 2020 year, beautiful concerts are waiting for you!! 

Daniela
