In a rare and deeply personal interview, Piero Barone, Gianluca Ginoble, and Ignazio Boschetto of Il Volo opened their hearts about what truly keeps them united after more than a decade of global fame: not just the music… but the brotherhood.
💬 “We argue, we laugh, we cry. But we never let go of each other.”
Formed as teenagers on an Italian TV show, Il Volo stunned the world with their classical voices — but what’s carried them through tours, tragedies, and triumphs is something deeper.
“We’ve grown up together,” said Gianluca. “We’ve seen each other at our worst, our most vulnerable. You don’t fake that kind of bond.”
🎤 Through Loss, Love, and Limelight
From Ignazio’s heartbreak over losing his mother, to Piero’s upcoming wedding, and Gianluca’s quiet struggle with fame at a young age — the trio has leaned on one another like brothers.
“There were nights after shows where we didn’t even talk,” Ignazio shared. “We just sat next to each other. That was enough.”
❤️ The Unseen Side of Stardom
Despite sold-out arenas and screaming fans, the trio admits their connection offstage is what holds everything together.
“People see the harmony onstage,” Piero said, “but they don’t know it’s real. It’s built from nights on buses, missed birthdays, and shared fears.”
🎶 A Lifelong Promise
As they look ahead to a new tour and possible English-language album, the trio is more committed than ever to staying together.
“This isn’t just a band,” Gianluca said softly. “It’s a promise we made to each other — to never let the music come before the friendship.”
