EXCLUSIVE: Gianluca Ginoble enchants his home region of Abruzzo, appearing as the ‘voice of roots’ as L’Aquila takes the mantle of Italian Capital of Culture 2026.
They have been the golden boys of crossover opera for nearly two decades, but as the clock struck midnight on 2026, the stars of Il Volo proved they are far from resting on their lavish laurels.
In a MOMENT that has left their global “Flight Crew” fan base in floods of tears, the trio released a stirring New Year manifesto, vowing to protect the “authenticity” of Italian Bel Canto against the “superstructures” of modern fame. Lead baritone Gianluca Ginoble, 31, was particularly vocal, describing their duty as a “solemn responsibility” to ensure the grand traditions of Italy are never lost to the sands of time.
The message comes as the group prepares for an insane 2026 schedule that would leave even the most seasoned rockstars REELING.
FROM LATIN LUNACY TO AMERICAN DREAMS
Il Volo is wasting no time in 2026. The trio is set to kick off a furious leg of their World Tour this March, hitting Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Panama City before sweeping through Brazil and Argentina.
But it’s the EXCLUSIVE 10-city US tour starting in April—produced by the legendary team behind Andrea Bocelli—that has industry insiders whispering about a “total stateside takeover.” From Los Angeles to Detroit, the boys are bringing their “Made in Italy” brand to the world’s most glamorous stages.
A NEW CHAPTER FOR THE ‘FAMILY’
Behind the glamorous suits and private jets, the “human interest” angle of the 2026 tour is what has fans truly emotional.
This marks the first major tour since Ignazio Boschetto tied the knot with Venezuelan model and former Miss International Michelle Bertolini in a series of harrowing and beautiful ceremonies last autumn. While Ignazio settles into life as a “King” to his “Queen,” the trio’s bond remains STARK and unbreakable.
“We are three eclectic performers,” Gianluca recently wrote, but he was quick to remind the world that their heart beats for Italy. His recent appearance in L’Aquila—celebrating the city’s status as the 2026 Capital of Culture—was described as a “soul-stirring” homecoming for the star.
