Biography
Il Volo, an Italian pop-opera trio, has enchanted global audiences with their powerful voices and modern takes on classic Italian music. The group was formed in 2009 and consists of three talented vocalists: Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble. Originally brought together on the Italian television show Ti Lascio una Canzone, the young singers instantly captivated audiences with their mature, operatic voices and incredible harmonies. Their chemistry and vocal range were undeniable, leading to the formation of Il Volo, which translates to “The Flight.”
Their debut album, Il Volo, released in 2010, marked the beginning of their international success, featuring a blend of traditional Italian songs, operatic pieces, and pop elements. Songs like “O Sole Mio” and “Il Mondo” introduced audiences worldwide to a new generation of Italian music. Their unique sound, which combines opera with contemporary pop, has often been described as “popera.” Il Volo quickly gained a global following, with tours across North and South America, Europe, and Asia, filling prestigious venues from Radio City Music Hall in New York to Arena di Verona in Italy.
In 2015, Il Volo reached another milestone by winning Italy’s prestigious Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Grande Amore." This victory earned them the honor of representing Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest, where they placed third but captured international attention once more. The song became a signature hit, showcasing their emotional delivery and vocal prowess.
Over the years, Il Volo has continued to release successful albums and perform around the world. Their mix of classical opera with contemporary pop has made them unique ambassadors of Italian culture, appealing to a broad audience and bringing timeless music to a new generation.
