The Naples concert (Caserta) had been announced as the final date of the Italian outdoor tour, but a concert in Pordenone was subsequently added; that one, however, will certainly be different, as the President of the Italian Republic will be in attendance.
So, let’s turn to the Caserta concert—specifically:
September 8 Caserta
The concert took place in front of the magnificent Royal Palace of Caserta.
This is not the first time Il Volo has performed in front of this magnificent royal palace—here are a few historical facts about it.
The Royal Palace of Caserta is a royal residence located in Caserta that historically belonged to the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. Commissioned by Charles of Bourbon, the foundation stone—marking the start of construction—was laid on January 20, 1752, based on a design by Luigi Vanvitelli; he was later succeeded by his son Carlo and other architects. The palace was completed in 1845.
Francesco Boccia (songwriter of “Grande Amore”) also attended the concert; he posted this comment and video.
“Last night, I embraced my little brothers Gianluca, Ignazio, and Piero again after watching an extraordinary concert at the Royal Palace of Caserta. Il Volo is the answer to all my fears and doubts about the future of music in Italy. Talent still exists, great singers still exist, and beautiful songs still exist! In a dark and decadent time where ‘nothingness’ is so highly praised, #ilvolo is the light.
Thank you, guys, for all the emotions you’ve given me; I love you and always will. ❤️”

Il Volo Thrills Caserta During the Royal Leg of a Global Success
The three young artists continued their summer tour by captivating audiences in Campania (Naples is in the Campania region) during an evening that celebrated the excellence of Italian *bel canto*.
Caserta was filled with music and atmosphere last night as the renowned trio Il Volo stopped in the city for a thrilling concert.
Part of the “Un’estate da Belvedere” series—conceived and directed by Massimo Vecchione—the event transformed the extraordinary setting of the Royal Palace of Caserta into a natural stage for one of the world’s most acclaimed vocal ensembles.
Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble treated the audience to a performance that spanned the various facets of their repertoire, demonstrating once again why—after an eighteen-year career—they continue to represent the excellence of Italian music on the international stage.
A success that transcends borders.
The figures speak for themselves: twenty-two million records sold, eleven years of television programs marking their rise, and a historic milestone as the first Italian artists signed by a major American record label. It is a track record rich in accolades—one that received exciting new confirmation last night on stage in Caserta.
The setlist skillfully balanced various phases of their artistic output, alternating between great classics of the Italian tradition and the operatic pieces that shaped their early training, right through to the famous songs that have defined their extraordinary career.
Italian tradition at the heart of the world.
What makes Il Volo’s offering unique is their ability to bridge the historical legacy of Italian song with the sensibilities of younger audiences. The three tenors do more than simply perform; they convey the essence of a musical tradition that has long served as a cultural ambassador for Italy across the globe.
Their extraordinary voices have moved diverse generations, demonstrating how Italian *bel canto* retains its power to speak to people’s hearts, regardless of age or cultural background. It is a message of universality that found its ideal setting last night within the magnificent Royal Palace of Caserta.
Upcoming Events
Il Volo’s summer is just getting started. Their upcoming engagements will see the trio perform in Mantua on September 24, 26, and 27, 2026, as the stars of the fourth edition of “TUTTI PER UNO” at the magnificent Palazzo Te—a venue that, given its extraordinary cultural and historical significance, provides the perfect setting for their performances.
With the next concert in Pordenone scheduled for September 20th, we all expected the guys to have a few days of well-deserved rest—especially since rehearsals for the Mantua show were looming—but that wasn’t the case; on September 11th, Il Volo appeared as guests at a private event—the high-profile wedding of a Brazilian tycoon’s daughter—held in Puglia at the beautiful and renowned Borgo Egnazia.
But that’s not all: immediately after the wedding event, Il Volo left for Orlando, Florida, for another event—the National Dance Championships. They sang “Nessun Dorma,” receiving a standing ovation. 👏👏👏
Joining them is Edo Ferragamo , who posted this comment and these photos:
Orlando, what a night.
Proud to have served as Musical Director for USDC 2026, bringing together an incredible lineup of talent, including the amazing Il Volo for a night I won’t forget.
Months of work behind the scenes, then finally getting to watch it all come to life.
Grateful to everyone who made it happen and congrats to the best dancers in the world.
Once again, our guys have amazed us with their hard work and energy… they are tireless… now they have to rush home—there’s the Pordenone concert, and right after that, preparations for Mantua!!!
By the way, what do you think of Gianluca’s new look? Honestly, I’m not too crazy about it!! Let me know what you think.
The audience at Villa Manin showed all their “Grande Amore” for the world’s most famous Italian trio.
Il Volo’s concert last night brought a close to a summer of extraordinary musical emotions at this fantastic venue.
TGR, the regional news broadcast this report:
Over 5,000 spectators—many arriving from outside the region and abroad—packed the grounds of Villa Manin in Codroipo last night for the triumphant return of the trio Il Volo.
Eight years after their last performance at the historic Doge’s estate, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble returned to captivate the audience with a stop on their 2026–2027 World Tour.
Accompanied by an extraordinary orchestra, the three artists spent nearly two hours revisiting a career spanning over 15 years, alternating between the trio’s original songs, operatic arias, film scores, and classics of Italian and international music.
They opened with the timeless melodies of “‘O Sole Mio,” “Granada,” and “Torna a Surriento,” before journeying through evocative film scores from *Gladiator* and *Cinema Paradiso*.
The program also featured great operatic classics like “La donna è mobile” alongside the timeless “Hallelujah.”

A journey through *bel canto* and great emotion: Il Volo enchants Villa Manin
Il Volo captivates Villa Manin: a night of music, emotion, and timeless beauty.
CODROIPO– There are concerts you simply listen to, and others you truly experience. Il Volo’s performance at Villa Manin was undoubtedly one of the latter. Set against the extraordinary backdrop of this historic Friulian estate, the renowned trio—comprising Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble—marked a new chapter in their artistic journey. They brought to the stage a summer tour that is sweeping across Italy, blending great hits and fresh emotions with a repertoire capable of uniting different generations. Even before the show began, the atmosphere was charged with the excitement of a major event. Thousands of spectators flocked to Villa Manin, transforming the magnificent monumental complex into an open-air theater where history, art, and music came together in perfect harmony.
As the lights dimmed and the opening notes began to resonate across the square, the audience’s silence gave way to thunderous applause. It was the prelude to an intense evening, built upon the unmistakable vocal harmonies that have been the trademark of the world’s most famous Italian trio for over fifteen years. Their new summer tour showcases the full extent of the artistic maturity Il Volo has achieved. The setlist blends songs that defined their career with deeply moving interpretations, transitioning effortlessly from Italian melodic tradition to international sounds, all while maintaining the elegance that has distinguished them since their debut. Each song was met with enthusiasm by an engaged audience, ready to sing along, applaud, and let themselves be swept away by the power of the three voices. There were also moments of interaction with fans—filled with smiles, banter, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude—that created an intimate, family-like atmosphere despite the grandeur of the venue.
And now we are in August, kicking things off right away with a great concert.
August 2nd
We were in Central Italy, in the region of Tuscany, specifically in FORTE DEI MARMI (province of Lucca), for a concert at Villa Bertelli.
Michelle was also at the Forte dei Marmi concert with little Gabriele.
I don’t post photos or videos involving our guys’ families because there are too many fakes out there, but Michelle posted this one herself, so it’s all good.
How sweet little Gabriele looks, reaching out his arms toward his dad and clapping!! 💙❤️
Villa Bertelli has posted some photos with the following caption:
“Incredible voices and a unique atmosphere for the Il Volo concert, the second event in the ‘Villa Bertelli Live’ series.
An evening of *Grande Amore* and great music.”
Gianluca, Ignazio, and Piero then posed for this photo holding the AIRC (Italian Association for Cancer Research) jersey, with the motto:
“No one runs alone; run with AIRC.”
And so, two more concerts have been performed, once again drawing large, enthusiastic crowds.
Now come the final two concerts—one in Puglia and one in Sardinia—followed by a summer break, before things pick up again in Taormina.
The concert organizer, PUPL CONCERTI, posted these words and these beautiful photos and videos!
“Three voices.
(A Sicilian, a Bolognese-Sicilian, and an Abruzzese, to be precise).
An orchestra.
Thousands of people.
And a single emotion that swept across Piazza della Regina.
Il Volo.”
July 25 ESTE
In the Veneto region (province of Padua). The concert took place at the Carrarese Castle as part of the Este Music Festival.
MONDOTV24.ITwrote this wonderful and very truthful review of the concert, which I have translated for you:
Il Volo World Tour 2026-2027: Review of the concert in Este (Padua)
Il Volo’s 2026–2027 World Tour continues, making stops in Italy this summer with a series of concerts in some of the country’s most enchanting locations. Last night, it was Este’s turn.
It has never been entirely clear to me, and I fear that, at this point, it never will be, why a certain type of music doesn’t enjoy the recognition it deserves in our country, especially among younger people.
We often tend to take the talent right in front of us for granted until it conquers the rest of the world. Only then does it seem we truly take notice. Last night, on that stage, Il Volo brought home the fruits of the international journey they have built over the years.
It is a superbly crafted show. True to tradition, a large orchestra backs the trio, and the songs flow seamlessly without ever becoming monotonous.
The structuring of the setlist is undoubtedly one of the show’s strengths. The segments dedicated to the various milestones of their career transform the concert into a shared narrative, allowing the audience not merely to watch, but to journey through the music alongside them.
The setlist covers it all: from opera, arias, and great classics to new tracks from *Ad Astra*, their latest album, as well as hits like “Grande Amore” and “Capolavoro,” and a selection of covers performed either solo or as duets, with the members taking turns on stage.
In a show like this, it is essential to carve out some individual space; after all, a trio is not an undistinguished blend, but a collection of artistic personalities moving forward together on stage.
For their solo spots, each chose their own comfort zone: Gianluca and Ignazio paid tribute to the singer-songwriter tradition by reinterpreting songs by Mia Martini and Luigi Tenco, while Piero remained true to the operatic style with an intense rendition of *No puede ser*.
Personally, I also found the introductions to these solos beautiful, brief monologues in which each singer shared something about himself and his relationship with music. Of the three, Gianluca’s was perhaps the most introspective: he briefly retraced his life, from a childhood spent listening to and singing early songs with his grandfather to the present day, revealing a sensitivity that runs through his entire artistic journey.
The venues Gianluca, Piero, and Ignazio choose for their concerts seem to naturally embrace their music. Places like the one last night, where, for a few hours, the quiet is stirred by the power of their voices.
“An artist is nothing without their audience, and if we are here, it is only thanks to you.” Ignazio said this towards the end of the concert, and I believe it perfectly captures the reality of the situation. Il Volo can count on an extraordinarily loyal audience: people travel from all over the world to hear them and it is wonderful to see how deeply aware the three of them are of this.
If this is the music that represents Italy to the world, then we can rest easy: we are truly in excellent hands.
I must say it is truly wonderful to read such great reviews, and there has been so much press coverage. Especially after actually attending Il Volo’s concerts and witnessing such talent and professionalism, opinions have inevitably changed, out of sheer admiration, but also out of genuine respect.
Il Volo’s fans can be happy, because their constant presence at the various concerts has rewarded the talent of these extraordinary guys.
GIANLUCA= Our style is to take the great classics and immediately create our own song, inspired by classics of Italian and Spanish music.
Our repertoire is mixed, but with many influences from the past, the present, and obviously looking to the future. We are the only thirty-year-old artists singing bel canto, and it’s incredible when you think about it.
IGNAZIO= Spain has always welcomed us very warmly, and honestly, it is a real pleasure to be here, singing our music and singing along with all our fans.
PIERO= On this tour, we’ll be performing in Barcelona, Murcia, and Málaga. Who knows what will happen on July 19th, when we sing in Spain on the day of the World Cup final? We might get to sing “Vincerò” (from the *Nessun Dorma* aria)—which means “I will win”—during the final. Just imagine singing “Vincerò” in Spain on the 19th; it’s something beyond imagination.
And that is exactly what happened during the Spain vs. Argentina final match, the final match had gone into extra time. The audience stayed in their seats, cheering wildly when Spain scored. Ignazio, Piero, and Gianluca explained that they would head backstage to wait for the match to end and—if Spain won—would return to sing; and that is precisely what happened. No one left—not even the orchestra members—and Il Volo sang the aria from *Nessun Dorma*: “Vincerò!” The Spanish adventure has come to a close with the concert in Murcia.
101 TV Malaga also covered the event and wrote these words and published these videos and photos:
“🎶 A spectacular moment in Málaga! Il Volo paused their concert at the Plaza de Toros when Spain scored during extra time in the World Cup final. The audience followed the match on the venue’s screens, and at the final whistle, the arena erupted in celebration with flags and singing. The Italian trio closed the evening with ‘Nessun Dorma,’ dedicating their ‘Vincerò’ to Spain’s victory. It all took place at the 101 Music Festival Costa del Sol.
and what’s more…
The music moved us. Football made history for us. ❤️ Last night is one that the 101 Music Festival Costa del Sol will never forget.
IL VOLO drove the crowd at the Málaga bullring wild with an unforgettable performance on a truly historic night. Together, we experienced Spain’s victory in the World Cup final 🏆
The golden moment came with “Nessun Dorma.” That “Vincerò” rang out like an anthem for an unforgettable night.❤️
GIANLUCA= I want to show you what’s happening. We’re in Malaga; the concert is over, but the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina is on, and everyone in the arena is watching the match… it’s incredible… the whole orchestra is on stage…
WOMAN = If I say Malaga, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?
PIERO = The Spain vs. Argentina World Cup final.
WOMAN = What’s it like to sing at the Plaza de Toros in Malaga?
PIERO = It’s our first time performing a concert at the Plaza de Toros. We sang in Palma de Mallorca once, but this is our first time in Malaga—it’s wonderful.

Il Volo, sold-out concert at Vigevano Castle: thousands of spectators for the summer festival’s opening night
A repertoire blending great classics and international hits
The summer events season at Vigevano Castle, organized by the agencies Youservizi and Audere on behalf of the Municipality of Vigevano, kicked off with great success. The music series opened on Wednesday with a concert by Il Volo, which drew thousands of spectators to the castle’s evocative setting for one of the season’s most anticipated events. From early evening, fans flocked to the venue in large numbers, forming long lines at the entrances and confirming the famous trio’s immense appeal.
Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble brought not only their voices but also genuine charm to the stage; accompanied by their orchestra, they delivered an intense and moving performance, alternating between great Italian classics and famous international hits. Each number was met with prolonged applause, while the audience sang along with the artists, creating an atmosphere of enthusiastic participation.
Making the evening even more special was the extraordinary setting of the illuminated castle, which enhanced a performance of high artistic caliber—complete with a stage featuring dramatic lighting and a magical atmosphere—captivating and moving audiences of all ages. This debut confirms the success of the summer series and launches, in the best possible way, a season packed with concerts, shows, and events set to enliven the summer in Vigevano.
July 9th
No concert today, but a sad date to remember.It has already been two years since we lost the dear Barbara Vitali, Il Volo’s road manager, but her memory lives on in the hearts of Piero, Gianluca, and Ignazio, as well as in all of us—fans and non-fans alike—who knew her. R.I.P.🙏❤️
July 11th – we travel down from Lombardy to Syracuse in Sicily
Il Volo conquers the Greek Theatre: the magnificent debut of Ignazio, Piero, and Gianluca at the Temenite. (high ground where the Greek Theatre is located)
Il Volo’s debut at the Greek Theatre of Syracuse was an immediate sell-out. Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble reciprocated by delivering a deeply moving performance and creating a truly evocative atmosphere.
Syracuse marked the first Sicilian stop on the summer leg of their 2026-2027 World Tour, once again demonstrating Il Volo’s ability to blend the tradition of great Italian music with operatic repertoire and the hits that have made them famous worldwide.
The ancient *cavea*, illuminated by the magic of the Syracusan night, provided the perfect setting for an elegant and captivating show. The audience accompanied the concert with prolonged applause, sing-alongs, and standing ovations, swept up in the intensity of the trio’s performances. It was a show that successfully united the power of music with the timeless allure of one of the Mediterranean’s most prestigious archaeological sites.
Yesterday’s event marked Il Volo’s first-ever performance at the Greek Theatre of Syracuse, part of the “Stelle al Teatro – Siracusa” festival organized by Puntoeacapo Srl in collaboration with GG Entertainment, the Municipality of Syracuse, the Archaeological Park of Syracuse, and Il Botteghino.
Following their success in Syracuse, Il Volo will return to Sicily on August 22 and 23 for two concerts at the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, before continuing with the numerous international dates of their World Tour.
SICILIALIVE, meanwhile, published this wonderful article:
A ‘Masterpiece’ in Syracuse: Il Volo Enchants at the Greek Theatre Premiere
The timeless allure of the Greek Theatre of Syracuse and the voices of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble created an evening destined to remain etched in the memories of the thousands of spectators present: Il Volo’s concert, held last night—Saturday, July 11, 2026—once again confirmed the trio’s extraordinary ability to transform every performance into an experience that transcends a mere musical show.
The ancient theater—a symbol of classical culture and one of Italy’s most evocative sites—provided a spectacular setting for an event that seamlessly blended elegance, emotion, and artistic excellence. As the sun set and the stars illuminated the sky, the music took center stage, creating an atmosphere that only a place like Syracuse can offer.
A repertoire spanning generations
From the very first notes, Il Volo demonstrated the full artistic maturity developed over a career spanning nearly 18 years. The setlist featured an opening section dedicated to *bel canto*, followed by an alternation between the songs that made the trio famous worldwide and great Italian and international classics—all with powerful orchestral arrangements (notably Rino Gaetano’s “A mano a mano,” Sinatra’s “My Way,” and Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah”).
The audience followed every performance with growing enthusiasm, often singing along with the three artists and offering prolonged applause at the end of each number. This is precisely the group’s strength: the ability to connect with diverse audiences, bringing together young people, families, and opera lovers in a single, grand musical embrace. While retaining their individual identities, the three voices blended seamlessly, delivering the harmonies that remain the hallmark of Il Volo’s artistic project.
Then, between songs, Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca alternated lighthearted moments with words of sincere gratitude addressed to the Sicilian audience—their hometown crowd. Piero and Ignazio are, in fact, Sicilian, and the latter shares a strong bond with the city of Syracuse, where he once studied singing. Syracuse thus became one of the most moving stops on the 2026–2027 World Tour, thanks to the magic of the Greek Theatre and the warmth of the spectators, who responded with continuous applause and numerous standing ovations. There was a genuine connection and no barrier between the stage and the audience; every song seemed to transform into a shared story woven from emotions, memories, and a passion for music.
The Greek Theatre and Il Volo: A Magical Pairing
When a concert takes place in a venue like the Greek Theatre in Syracuse, even the stage design takes on a new meaning. The set-up remained deliberately understated, allowing the surrounding landscape to become an integral part of the performance. Skillful lighting highlighted the grandeur of the ancient stonework without ever overpowering it. The result was a perfect balance between modernity and history, with the music seeming to engage in a natural dialogue with a site that embodies over two thousand years of culture. The theatre’s acoustics further contributed to the evening’s success, enhancing the trio’s vocal power and clarity in every song performed. A Finale Worthy of Applause
The final part of the concert was the most emotionally charged. The audience rose to their feet several times, accompanying the trio with prolonged applause. The Sanremo hits “Capolavoro” and “Grande Amore,” followed by “Il mondo,” seemed to cap off an already magnificent evening, but a surprise was just around the corner. Returning to the stage, the icing on the cake was “Nessun dorma,” which concluded an evening of intense participation, leaving the audience with the feeling of having witnessed not just a concert, but a true encounter between art, music, and history.
Il Volo left Syracuse with yet another sold-out performance, showcasing one of the most important archaeological sites in the Mediterranean with a top-notch show and the affection of an audience that responded enthusiastically from start to finish. It was an evening that confirmed how great music, when encountered in places rich in history and beauty, can still evoke authentic and enduring emotions.
(In the video published by “Sicilialive,” Gianluca expresses his gratitude and says that he feels Sicily is somewhat like a home to him, too. Piero says that perhaps they will decide to grant him citizenship and a passport😂🤣.)
And to wrap things up, here are some fun questions asked of Piero, Gianluca, and Ignazio while they’re in the elevator.
WOMAN = We have six floors’ worth of time to answer these questions: Which of the three is the chronic latecomer?
PIERO = Him (Ignazio—Gianluca also points to Ignazio)
WOMAN = Who checks themselves in the mirror the most before going on stage?
GIANLUCA = Me. (Piero and Ignazio also point to Gianluca)
WOMAN = Who checks social media most often during rehearsals?
GIANLUCA = Yeah, me. (Piero and Ignazio also point to Gianluca)
WOMAN = Who is the most thin-skinned when receiving criticism?
GIANLUCA = Him (Points to Ignazio; Piero also points to Ignazio)
WOMAN = Who has the worst secret taste in music?
(all three point at each other… and laugh) 😂😂😂
Who would be the first to participate in a reality show?
GIANLUCA = No.
IGNAZIO = Shakes his head “no”
PIERO = None of the three
WOMAN = Who is the hardest to put up with after a 10-hour journey?
IGNAZIO = (points to Piero)
PIERO = Why?
GIANLUCA = Well… oh boy!
WOMAN = Who would be the most successful as an influencer?
PIERO + IGNAZIO = Him (they point to Gianluca)
GIANLUCA = I influence your lives…
WOMAN = Let’s go, let’s go. (the elevator has arrived)
So, two more successful concerts have taken place; the next one will be in Barcelona, Spain.
Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca radiate so much love, charm, and professionalism wherever they go, while receiving just as much affection, gratitude, and admiration in return.
See you soon: Daniela 🤗
