Gianluca Ginoble, 31, has been elected ‘Person of the Year’ 2025 by the readers of Il Centro, beating out top competition in a ‘furious’ public vote.
-
The ‘hauntingly handsome’ baritone dedicated the win to his beloved Abruzzo, branding the award a ‘moment of pure connection’ with the people of his homeland.
-
REVEALED: Behind the designer suits and private jets, Ginoble admits to a ‘lonely’ battle with shyness and the ‘insane’ obsession required to reach musical excellence.
He is the “Dean Martin of the digital age,” a man whose glamorous voice has enchanted everyone from Barbra Streisand to the Pope. But today, Gianluca Ginoble is celebrating a victory much closer to home.
In a MOMENT that has sent his “Flight Crew” fan base into an ABSOLUTE FRENZY, the Il Volo superstar has been officially named “Person of the Year” 2025. The award, bestowed by the prestigious newspaper Il Centro, marks a TRIUMPHANT homecoming for the singer, who remains a “Rosetano at heart” despite his lavish lifestyle in Los Angeles and New York.
However, the win has come with a SCANDALOUSLY raw confession. In a soul-baring interview, the 31-year-old REVEALED that his path to the top was often harrowing.
THE PRICE OF PERFECTION
“Excelence is only reached through sacrifice,” a defiant Gianluca declared, hitting back at the “consumerist” nature of modern social media stars. The singer admitted that he has spent years battling a “barrier of shyness” and that his success is the result of a near-“obsessive” dedication to his craft.
“I am not my success,” he warned, in a heartbreakingly honest moment. “I have to build a strong personality… so that I remain strong even if I were to lose everything the world has given me tomorrow”.
ROOTS, ROME, AND RADICAL HONESTY
Despite his global fame, Gianluca’s heart remains firmly in Abruzzo. Recently appointed the “Ambassador of Kindness” for his hometown of Roseto, the star has been using his platform to promote PEACE and cultural heritage.
REVEALED: While he tours the world’s most lavish arenas, Gianluca admits he feels a “great nostalgia” for the simple life he left behind. “Everything remained as it was, except me,” he confessed. “I am the one who went away”.
With Il Volo currently in the midst of an insane 2026 World Tour—including a massive 10-city sweep of the United States starting this April—Gianluca is proving that you can take the boy out of the village, but you can’t take the village out of the Person of the Year.
