It’s so, it’s true, Ignazio and Michelle got married! ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🥂🥂
The first signs that the date was very close were given by the video of Michelle trying on wedding dresses which I have already forwarded to you.
The next day Michelle published the photo to show that the dress had been picked up and therefore the date immediately seemed more imminent.
The same evening, a family dinner took place with many beautiful photos that suggested a nice “stag/hen party”. Here they are.
Ignazio and Michelle with Michelle’s family and Caterina Boschetto 🥰
Michelle with Caterina and Nina Boschetto😍😍😍
Michelle with her father 😍😍
And the two of them, splendid lovers: Ignazio and Michelle (the King crowns his Queen) ❤️❤️
How much love hovers in the air, Ignazio has finally found his happiness.
“One of the best feelings in the world is to feel happy about the happiness of the people we love!”
IGNAZIO AND MICHELLE GOT MARRIED. ❤️❤️
It’s September 12th, this morning in San Lazzaro di Savena, the municipality in the province of Bologna where Ignazio lives.
The wedding was officiated by the mayor of San Lazzaro di Savena with a civil ceremony.
The guests were few and intimate, the bride and groom were beautiful and radiant with happiness. 😍😍
The fateful moment of YES, while Ignazio and Michelle hold their hands together.
MAYOR= Do you, Mr. Ignazio Boschetto, intend to take Michelle Marie Bertolini here as your wife?
IGNAZIO= YES, a very sweet and sentimental yes, as he turns his gaze to Michelle, but then Ignazio, for fear of not having been heard by the others present, tells the mayor to wait a moment, clears his throat and repeats in a loud voice YES!! Everyone laughs, including Michelle, and Ignazio turns and asks: “Is it understood?” ❤️😂😍😍
MAYOR= Do you, Ms. Michelle Marie Bertolini, intend to marry Ignazio Boschetto here?
MICHELLE = Out loud turning towards Ignazio: YES (laughter)
MAYOR= Very clear, her too!
Following your affirmative answers, I, Marilena Pillati, mayor and civil status officer of the municipality of San Lazzaro di Savena, in the name of the law I declare that Mr. Ignazio Boschetto and Ms. Michelle Marie Bertolini are united in marriage. (final kiss) ❤️❤️
But how cute are they in these black and white shots: Ignazio Michelle ….. and Arturo?? 😍😍 …… 🐶🐶🐶
And here we are on Saturday 14 September, the day of the wedding party and the exchange of promises and wedding rings.
In the afternoon we discover from the first rumors that the party will be on Lake Como, in the beautiful Villa Sola Calbiati!!
The arrival of the bride’s dress 😍
Beautiful Michelle 😍
The bride wears a beautiful dress by Tosca Spose, elegant but also simple, a tight bodice with a neckline that leaves the shoulders uncovered and with a crisscrossing of the fabric on the chest.
The skirt in vaporous fabric falls softly from the bust, widening widely at the bottom. A beautiful long veil with a high lace edge is closed over a crown of silver flowers resting on hair simply left long.
Everything is very elegant and our Michelle is simply gorgeous! ❤️
The look of dad Enrico as he sees Michelle in a wedding dress for the first time.
The most important and emotional moment:
The arrival of the groom, accompanied by mother Caterina and sister Nina.
There is a lot of elegance!
As Ignazio passes by Gianluca , Piero and Torpedine exclaims: “Are you here too?? No??” 😍😂😍
The usual joker Ignazio never proves himself wrong!
Ignazio is also very elegant in his blue double-breasted suit with shiny lapels, white shirt and bow tie.
Truly remarkable! ❤️
And now the bride, accompanied by her father, goes down the stairs and the long walkway, two sweet and beautiful children (two small children of Michelle’s relatives) open the arrival by scattering flower petals. 😍😍
It was difficult for me to write this, because I had already expressed to you everything I felt and everything I imagined at Christmas, when I proposed to you.
For me it was always such an important step……that was you, and so I wrote a sort of poem and the title goes like this:
TO MY WIFE Our story is unique, one of those stories you see in films, or that are told to children. It all started from a look, a look so intense and profound that I fell into it and in the end I never got out.
From the moment we saw each other in November, I knew it was you, I had my wife in front of me.
After a week I gave you the keys to the house, after twenty days I met your family, after a month and a half I asked you to marry me and after less than eleven months I married you.
We are two crazy people, it’s true! Sorry Enrico (Michelle’s dad).
But as I told you last Christmas, for you there is no perfect time, there is only “our time”, you and I together, from the best moments to the worst, and I discovered it little by little, together we grew a lot in a short time, trying to be the best and for our future family. Thanks to you today I feel like a better man, worthy and ready to take care of my family. And it is with you that I want to experience everything one hopes for in the family, it is with you that I want to cry and I want to laugh, it is with you that I want to wake up every morning, it is with you that I want to experience the privilege of being a father. (Ignazio is moved) I can’t explain to you in words what I feel inside, what happens to me when you take my hand and when you hug me, or when I see you sitting at a concert and we send each other kisses, or when I wake up and see you by my side every morning.
But I have the certainty that I want it for my whole life, I can’t do without it, they say it’s love, and that it’s all contained in one word: I LOVE YOU, but a bookcase full of empty books wouldn’t be enough to write to you many times. I love as much as I truly LOVE YOU.
It would be obvious to say I will take care of you, in joy and in pain, until death do us part, but I want to tell you that you are my life, that I will give you everything you have never had and maybe even then you wouldn’t know how wonderful it is to love you. Forever together, I LOVE YOU! ❤️
Michelle’s vows moment
.
Also in this video made by the stylist Tosca Spose and her husband (comedian). They are saying that Ignazio and Michelle are very much in love!!
I would like to recount this wonderful day through my eyes.
I saw two souls in love, looks that spoke of a love that is pure and authentic. I have seen hearts that still retain the simplicity and purity of a child, enclosed in bodies of adults. I have seen the happiness of those who have found true love, that feeling that knows no time, rules or boundaries, without too many thoughts or reasoning, but only follows the heartbeat, free and wild.
I wish to scream to the world how much I love you, because in the end, besides affection, what really unites us are the shared experiences, the moments that touch us deeply, between joys and challenges of life. These are the moments that shape a relationship and make it unbreakable. Even the most distant characters, if united in sharing everything, learn to sail together in the turbulent waters of existence, creating a unique and unbreakable bond. And this is exactly what binds me, you and Piero more than anything else.
And to you, Michelle, for being a real, good, pure, sincere, clear person, I can say that if it’s true that the people we choose reflect our soul, then you perfectly embody the inner beauty of the man you chose to love.
With deep and sincere affection, Gianluca
And also together with Michele Torpedine and Eliana Dalila Biondi, who has been part of the management for several years.

Some moments from wedding lunch
Mother Caterina’s moving speech
CATERINA= …..and you have always been a shoulder to laugh and cry on, not only as a son, but for me you are a son and a great friend on whom I can always count. Sometimes I’m heavy, I admit it….
IGNAZIO= Sometimes?? Sometimes??? (laughter)😂😂
NINA= …always….
CATERINA= I beg your pardon, perhaps I’m wrong because I love you too much. I want you to know that I am the happiest mom in the universe, not in the world, in the universe! Seeing you serene and so much in love with a wonderful woman, and I am sure that as the wonderful and attentive son that you are, you will also be as a husband and as a father.
Michelle my love, from the moment that day I opened the door to the house….. (Caterina is very moved)
IGNAZIO= Oxygen…!!! 😂
CATERINA= ……and I saw you, something clicked inside me. You brought to our home the serenity and joy that was missing for a long time, you know why. As I said before, you are wonderful, you are the woman I dreamed of being next to my son and the mother of my future grandchildren. Know that you are the third child for me. Dad and I wish you a future full of love, happiness and lots of serenity together. I love you!!❤️
It was 1994 when I saw your eyes for the first time.
It was love at first sight, I who wanted you so much, it was the most beautiful day of my life.
I can’t explain in words how much I love you, but you have made my life unique and full of love.
Big brother, (saying “big” shows her affection for Ignazio) you and I have been through a lot in life, good things and bad things, but our strength has always been to never give up and always fight. You are a clear, good, generous person and ready to worry about making the people you love feel good, sometimes without thinking about your own feeling good. You know, I always tell you that I hope one day to find someone who is a carbon copy of you, or who looks like you, but I already know that it will be difficult. Of course you too have your flaws, but you are the brother, friend, confidant that anyone would like to have. We have such a strong bond that we don’t need to talk because we immediately understand if everything is fine or if there is something wrong.
Sister-in-law, I don’t know which angel brought you into my brother’s life and into our life. From the first day I saw you I immediately understood the person you are, and I said to myself: “But how is it possible that they are the same?” You are a woman with a capital D (donna=woman in Italian).
You know what you want too and you always think about making the people you love feel good. You are kind, good, delicate and full of life and I want to thank you because you brought joy, serenity and happiness into our family that we no longer had for a few years. To me you are not only my little sister-in-law, but you have become my little sister.
Obviously I have to thank both of you, who take care of me and my mother but above all thanks to both of you because you changed my life, you made me reborn for the second time, you know why.
(Nina dedicates a song to the spouses, Ignazio is visibly moved)
Now I would like all of you to raise your glass in the air to toast Igni and Michelle, to their love, wishing them to always be happy, joyful, serene and to live this long journey side by side, loving and respecting each other and I am convinced that even the people dear to us who are not here today next to us and among us will be toasting to your happiness. WISHES, I LOVE YOU!! ❤️

A beautiful wedding party sealed the love between Ignazio and Michelle.
It was like a fairy tale and in this beautiful fairy tale we see a king, an Ignazio shining with love towards his queen, Michelle who reciprocates with equal love.
May the future life bring you much happiness, the love is already there, but may it last over the years and may all the difficulties of life be overcome by your splendid union.
Best wishes to the splendid newlyweds, best wishes from the bottom of our hearts to IGNAZIO and MICHELLE!! ❤️❤️
MICHELLE = I’ve chosen who will make my wedding dress!
IGNAZIO= Nooooo
MICHELLE= Yes, Elisabetta Garuffi (stylist) of Tosca (atelier in Bologna)
IGNAZIO= of Tosca!!!
MICHELLE= And I’m going now…
IGNAZIO= That is now, in this moment? …and I can’t come???
MICHELLE= You can’t, you can’t!
In the following video, published on Instagram by Tosca spose, at the beginning we see part of the video with Michelle with Ignazio and then continues with Michelle’s visit to the atelier.
MICHELLE = I didn’t imagine that a dress could excite so much! Thanks to Tosca Spose❤️
IGNAZIO= It’s all starting to take shape! I LOVE YOU
So their beautiful story is progressing well and the preparations for the wedding are also progressing, the date of which is not yet known but I assume it could be this summer…..I can already smell orange blossoms!!
And Ignazio also received great satisfaction:
Giacomo Rossi, a young Italian vocal coach who approached listening to Il Volo by reviewing the covers of Sanremo evening and saying that Il Volo deserved the first prize, declared that he liked them a lot and would review them again and therefore he did so by analyzing MY IMMORTAL that Ignazio sang during the TUTTI PER UNO (ALL FOR ONE) concerts in the Arena. What can I say, big compliments to Ignazio from Giacomo Rossi, but you can read for yourself by activating the subtitles.
For me, I am doubly proud of what Giacomo says, who although Italian did not know Il Volo well but only because of how it had always been presented by the Italian press, furthermore Giacomo Rossi’s usual genre of music is Heavy Metal and therefore a completely different genre from pop – lyrical of our boys, but still as a good and serious vocal coach he recognizes the skill and study of our boys.
Thanks Giacomo Rossi and many compliments to Ignazio. 👏👏👏
Truly beautiful compliments for Ignazio, but he is not the only one who has been the subject of review these days, in fact another Italian vocal coach: Salvatore Cilia, has reviewed Gianluca while he sings Capolavoro alone and here is the final result which I will translate for you!!
Gianluca in 2024 showed off vocal control above the average of Italian singers.
Starting from a half voice, in chest voice (M1), perfectly intoning every single sound.
To then masterfully connect it to a breath-controlled falsetto…. With a voice always forward.
Singing the G3 (a challenging note for a baritone) successively in the Mix without showing any vocal effort.
Maintaining perfect phrasing, changing the dynamics of the sound naturally and confidently….. Without ever disconnecting the breath from the diaphragm.
Really a big difference compared to his beginnings when he was still looking for his vocal identity. RATING 10 AND PRAISE
👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow, what can I say, magnificent and well-deserved review for Gianluca. 👏👏👏
I believe that this is also one of the immediate effects of Sanremo, the greater attention of Italian vocal coaches and I must say that their reviews are beautiful!!
Meanwhile, the release date of the new AD ASTRA CD is approaching and Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca showed us that they are busy signing autographs for the new album.
We hope that sales are high and above all that people like the album, there is a lot of expectation.
The newspapers that published numerous articles and interviews on Il Volo during the Sanremo period continue to publish new interviews and I would like to point out that of the weekly GRAZIA which dedicated its front page to Il Volo.
IL VOLO: Music unites us. Every day we work to be a trio.
Protagonists of the digital cover of Grazia, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca told us about the 15 years of their career, from the luck of the first meeting to the daily work to keep the trio together.
They met as little more than children and today the three guys from Il Volo, Piero Barone, 30, Ignazio Boschetto, 29, and Gianluca Ginoble, 29, celebrate their 15 years of artistic collaboration. It was 2009 when they presented themselves as soloists at the singing talent show for children hosted by Antonella Clerici Ti lascio una canzone on Rai Uno. They didn’t know each other, but the program’s authors thought that a trio of talented little tenors like them could work. And that was their luck.
After the rumors of the last few days that they were in crisis, we met them to create this digital cover and they told us how to live in a trio having different personalities.
The three musicians were the only Italian artists invited by Quincy Jones to We are the World for Haiti in 2010, they sang in front of Pope Francis and sold millions of records. We saw them on stage during the last Sanremo Festival, a competition they won in 2015, and on March 29th they will present their first album of unreleased songs, entitled Ad Astra.
The World Tour will start at the end of April which will also take them to China and Japan, in May they will be protagonists of Tutti Per Uno on Canale 5, four evenings at the Verona Arena with numerous guests. Then from June to September they will be engaged in a 20-date tour in the most spectacular locations in Italy and in autumn they will perform in the main European capitals. When they are not on stage, they live in different places: Gianluca in Abruzzo, Piero divides his time between Bologna and Agrigento and Ignazio in Bologna. And connected via zoom from their respective homes, they tell their stories.
You started singing together at just over 14 years old and are still close, a rarity for a successful group. What’s your secret?
Ignazio: The passion for music and for our work.
Gianluca: Ours was an arranged marriage, like those that were used in the past, with the luck that we then truly fell in love. Because you can only continue if you feel love and passion for the people around you and if you really believe in the project. Aside from historical groups, many bands have actually broken up. We are different, but there is always dialogue between us. Each of us has our own personality: in difference and contrast there is growth.
Piero: When I walk down the street with my friends I often hear people whispering, “Look, it’s the guy from Volo”. Usually they don’t even remember our last name. But that’s right, it doesn’t matter, because our goal was and is to be the Volo trio. And every morning we work for this. Living together is different, requires commitment and involves a certain maturity. Aside from a few misunderstandings, when there is a lot of confidence we can tell each other frankly what we think. We have always been used to open dialogue and have never held grudges, we are satisfied with our path together and we will continue for many years in the future. I always say that, if one day I meet my soulmate, I already know the rules for a lasting relationship: respect, listening and compromise.
How would you describe yourself?
Ignazio: Piero is perspicacious, stubborn, ambitious and altruistic, all strengths that can also become flaws. Gianluca is the perfectionist of the group, very attentive to details and stubborn at industrial levels. All these characteristics unite us, because I am like that too, only for me I would add that I am a little touchy. We had the great fortune of recognizing our talents very early and of being in the same place, at the same time on that show. And after leaving the talent show we had a film life.
You have become very popular all over the world, including in China and Japan. What is the thing that struck you most about Japanese culture?
Ignazio: Great respect for people. During the first concert in Tokyo, on stage I said to Piero: “Look, they’re asleep”. Instead they had their eyes closed, absorbed by the music, and at the end of the song they applauded.”
Piero: We went to China in 2015 and sang for their New Year’s Eve, we went to Japan several times and that country changed me.
Gianluca: Abroad they really like our music. In Japan they also love a certain type of Italian elegance, like that of many artists who have made history, from Luciano Pavarotti to Frank Sinatra. Now Italian music is moving in opposite directions and even we, who are only 30 years old, have decided to take some risks by putting ourselves out there and trying to do what we have never done. In the last album there is a duet with Irama, one of the most beautiful pieces on the album, which contains all unreleased songs.
Where did the title Ad Astra come from?
Gianluca: As in the Latin saying “Per aspera ad astra”, through sacrifice you reach the stars and all your goals. It was a message we wanted to send to the younger ones. We also talk about life, how we have built the sense of the group in these 15 years of career and our personal growth.
Piero: Today we think that we can achieve a lot very easily and we think more about money. When I was little I don’t remember any numbers, our dream was to sing. I’m not saying that everyone should sacrifice themselves to reach a goal, but it’s right to know.
Have you always been so wise?
Ignazio: The education we received at home certainly helped us, but it was also the life we have led up to here, traveling and getting to know the world in its thousand facets, that made us grow faster.
Gianluca: We’re also a little crazy. We have been traveling since we were 14, we eat everything without problems, we have been to Rio De Janeiro at least 15 times, to America 50 times. At 30 we have already lived a hundred lives.
Piero: For this reason we could live anywhere and traveling has taught us to be open to other cultures. The traveler is always ready to accept what a place, a people, a culture offers you. But in the East I will struggle to eat jellyfish again: they are my terror when I dive into the water.
And now I propose this short video of Il Volo with Alexa (voice assistant), very nice, Ignazio Piero and Gianluca spoke with Alexa and now they listen to their messages recorded in all the Alexas in Italy.
For one day, anyone in Italy who has Alexa can listen to the voices of Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca directly in their home, I have Alexa and I did it, it was exciting. 🥰
ALEXA= Good morning, today is a truly incredible day, the three guys from Il Volo came to visit me in my cloudy sky. I’ll leave the microphone to you, the stage is all yours!
IGNAZIO= Good morning everyone, we wanted to thank you for all the support and love you sent us during the festival.
PIERO= We came by to say hello and to tell you that our new Sanremo single, Capolavoro, is contained in our first new album of unreleased songs entitled AD ASTRA
GIANLUCA= And it will be released on March 29th. We can’t wait for you to listen to it. We’ll talk to you very soon, but in the meantime you can continue listening to Capolavoro.
ALEXA= Legendary!! If you want to listen to it, ask me: Play Capolavoro!
Little thing, while yet another car advertisement was scrolling on TV, something caught my attention…..but of course, the background music is Capolavoro!!
And now this final gem, when Il Volo was at Iene, recorded this reading of comments on Il Volo. This video was published by Le Iene now and it is truly hilarious. I think Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio had no idea what they were supposed to read, because their reaction is really big laughter, and it’s nice to see them so self-deprecating. There’s a lot to laugh about!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
1) GIANLUCA= Great those of Il Volo who carry the name of Italy high in the world. My favorite is Ethan, but Damiano isn’t bad either…. (these are the names of two of Maneskin’s singers) 🤣🤣🤣
We also have Victoria (the female guitarist of Maneskin…. but it’s Ignazio), look how she has changed! 😂😂😂
PIERO= Our version of Victoria 😂🤣
2) IGNAZIO= One thing in four, with those of Il Volo…..can it be done or VOLO (flight) with the imagination?? 😂😂😂
No! Fly (in Italian: vola) away, no, no…..😂😂😂
3) PIERO= But since Il Volo is so popular abroad…..why do we want it back??🤣🤣🤣
We have an Italian passport!🤣🤣🤣
4) GIANLUCA=
Gianluca the handsome 😍
Piero the good 🥰
Ignazio the bastard 😱
When I see them I need the defibrillator. 🤣😂🤣
PIERO= No, you need an ophthalmologist 😂🤣😂
5) PIERO= Can I get engaged to Il Volo?
In the sense that I get engaged to each of the three in turn? Are you jealous?😍😂
IGNAZIO= I would be busy, so no. 😉
GIANLUCA= I’m here in the summer (in the sense that he’s available in the summer) 😂
PIERO= Me all year round. 🤣
6) I+P= My favorite band? IL Volo
My favorite writer? Fabio Volo (an Italian writer)
My biggest fear? The flight (Il volo in Italian)
Are you saying I have a problem?
PIERO= Yes. 😂
GIANLUCA= I would say yes.😂
7) IGNAZIO= Il Volo is about to disband…..?I want to hear a loud NO from the chest!
PIERO= This thing has come out that Il Volo is breaking up, I don’t know who spread it, but it’s not true. 🙄 Where are we going alone? 👏
IGNAZIO= I’m just telling you that the wind takes words away, the facts remain. The facts: we are together. 👏👏👏
GIANLUCA= And we are not facts. (play on the pun) 😂😂😂
8) GIANLUCA= But do you think Il Volo was annoyed by Angelina Mango’s victory? (lei è la vincitrice di Sanremo) In my opinion, yes! 😁😤😤
PIERO= He nods his head. 😁
IGNAZIO= We didn’t get angry because she won, but because someone else won and not us! 🤪😤
GIANLUCA= No it’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true, because otherwise people think: “presumptuous, they always want to win” 😂😂
IGNAZIO= Yes, yes yes!! 😂
PIERO= But if you wanted to win…(to Gianluca) 😁
GIANLUCA= It’s not true! 🙄
IGNAZIO= We argue again, so then they say we broke up!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
There are many appointments in the next few days for Il Volo, intense days of commitments and therefore there will be many posts to read.
Stay with us, we will try to satisfy all your curiosities.
See you soon:
Daniela 🤗
