Biografia
In 2009 the three members of Il Vovo, tenors Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto, and baritone Gianluca Ginoble, all competed as teenagers in the televised singing competition “Ti lassie luna canzone”. Ginolble’s version of the Andrea Bocelli song “Il mare calm della sera” went on to win the first episode, after which the director of the show Roberto Cenci had the idea of putting the three singers together. Adopting a similar format to the infamous Three Tenors, the group performed for the first time with the single “O sole mil” on the fourth episode of the show. Singer-songwriter and music producer Rony Renis subsequently heard the performance and went to great lengths to sign them to Geffen Records.
Originally named “I Tre Tenorini”, the group contributed to the 2010 charity single “We Are the World 25 for Haiti”, a rendition of the 1985 hit “We Are the World”. Towards the tail-end of 2010 the name was changed to Il Vovo and the group recorded their debut, self-titled album in the Abbey Road Studios in London, England, which featured the national and international numbers “Il mondo”, “Un amore cosí grande”, and Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile”. Issued by Geffen Records in November 2010 the record peaked at No. 6 on the Italian Albums Chart, representing their mainstream breakthrough. The U.S. release of the album was promoted by appearances on “Good Morning America”, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, and “The Tonight Show”, and charted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200.
Il Vovo’s sophomore album “We Are Love” failed to achieve the success of its debut, peaking at No. 100 on the Billboard 200 upon its release in 2010. Featuring duets with the likes of Placido Domingo and Eros Ramazzotti, the album was promoted by performing at the 80th annual tree lighting at the Rocketfeller Center in New York. A month later the group also sung at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway, performing the tracks “Il Monde” and “We Are Love”, before the group embarked on their 2012 South American Tour.
The internationally released Christmas album “Buon Natale: The Christmas Album” earned its release in October 2013, featuring classic Christmas songs from Latin, Spanish, German, and English-speaking cultures. The record topped the Billboard Holiday Albums chart after which Il Vovo received two Latin Billboard Music Award nominations for Top Latin Albums Artist of the Year and Latin Pop Albums Artist of the Year for which they won the latter. The group’s third official album “Sanremo grande amore” arrived in February 2015 led by the single “Grande amore”. Featuring covers of infamous songs by Eduardo De Crescenzo, Matia Bazar, and Renato Rascel, the album topped the Italian Albums Chart and peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Classical Albums Chart.

My husband and I went to an Il Volo concert in Miami on March 5, 2016.
It was stupendous and my husband and I both loved it. The boys were in fine form and their singing was glorious. We were amazed at their capability of sustaining such a rigorous show with all their singing and banter. The music accompanying the boys was also wonderful. All in all it was a wonderful experience.
The banter of the boys was cute and appropriate for such young men and it seemed to me sweet and good-natured, though maybe it was a tad too long in spots. Also, my only disappointment was that they did not sing all the songs of theirs that I love, but I guess we would have been there until morning. That is what CD's are for, I guess!
I took binoculars with me to better see the boys and was not disappointed. They were as cute in person as on their Utubes. There sure was alot of hair on that stage with all the facial stubble and hair, Cute !
We were a little too cozy in the seating of the arena and I drove my husband crazy with all my getting up and down for standing ovations.
All in all it was a wonderful experience and I hope to see them again as soon as I can. I hope they take good care of themselves and don't overdo it.

First time I saw Il Volo was on PBS. After that concert on TV, I new that I had to see them live on stage. Living close to Casino Rama in Canada, I was very excited to find out that they would have a concert coming up in February of 2016. I could hardly wait for the day to see those very talented young men on stage.
Was I ever in awe to hear them live. There powerful voices are amazing, the singing flawless. They can be very serious, but at the same time funny and entertaining. The varietey of song choice couldn't have been better. I can't wait to attend the next concert.
They are very much in love with their home country, Italy. Speaking and jooking to the audience quite a lot in their own language was a bit frustrating to us english speaking fans because we didn't understand. Meanwhile the Italian fans laughed their head off.
Please let the rest of the world laugh too.

Had a wonderful time at the concert yesterday evening with my daughter. Felt I was in Italy with all the flag waving from their many excitable fans. Loved the humour between them all crazy crazy. Will be going again if they come back to England. The duet with Gianluca and Piero with My Way was a wow factor for me as was Memory sung by Ignazio and also the one and only Unchained Melody Bridge Over Troubled Water Il Mondo O Sole Mio and Life is Beautiful being one of my favourites. Seeing as my ancestral family is from Lucca I felt right at home with it all singing along with most of their songs. Fantastic evening. Love from Maureen & Louise Bradley xx

Love the boys, oops! Young men now. Been listening to them since they first started. Beautiful, extremely talented, personable. Their voices are heaven sent. If there is one thing I’d change it is the orchestra’s volume. It seems as if they are in competition with the guys instead of supporting them. At times you have to strain to hear the vocals above the instruments. Thank heavens the guys have strong enough voices to compensate. However, I don’t think they should have to. We go to their shows to hear them, not the orchestra. In all honesty, they could sing a cappella and be just as good.

I have seen Il Volo for the 3rd time, they sure have grown up, their personality has not changed in anyway, they are still very much down to earth young men. Their choice of music is great as well as their voices. When they sing in Italian & French, it brings me back to my youth, as I was born in Florence and grew up in Paris. There is no doubt their career has a great success within a short time. I am looking forward to see them again, hoping they will return to the US and maybe be able to talk to them. Ciao, Aurevoir, Nadia

Il Volo was the most fantastic show I have ever seen. I have been to four of their concerts in 6 years and their voices keep getting better all the time. I saw them in D C two weeks ago and then again in Orlando this past week. The shows were slightly different. My husband had never been to one of their concerts and he said "the music penetrated my body...their voices are the best I ever heard."
I know all of the Italian words to their songs, yet do not understand what I am saying. I am an Il Volo fanatic!!!!

Saw Il Volo at the Royal Albert Hall in London this year 23rd May. It was an amazing evening with good seating to view their performances of old and new songs. Always a good atmosphere surrounded by lots of excited italians. This was my second show of seeing them and hope to again in 2018, having followed them since their beginning as teenagers. Their wonderful concerts not to be missed.

Thank you

What a joy it was to hear these delightful and talented young artists! We have not had such an enjoyable and romantic evening in years. Our only complaint was the venue as we were not able to choose our seats which were deplorable, add to that the hard benches to sit on for two hours, did not help. Shame on you Ryman, you could do much better for these prices!

The concert was amazing from begining to end and the atmospgere was electrifying ! The show was fast moving without a dull moment and with one beautiful song after another eacg one leaving you breathless! I went with my 83 year old mum ( i am 53 years old) and she to was transported to Il Bel Canto sung by 3 angels! A concert not to be missed !
