Il Volo September 18, 2012

Il Volo ("The Flight") is a trio of Italian pop-opera teenage singers, consisting of Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble. In May 2009, they appeared on the popular Italian talent show 'Ti Lascio Una Canzone' and dazzled television viewers with their flawless rendition of the Neapolitan standard 'O Sole Mio.' They won the competition. "Il Volo," meaning "flight," was chosen as their name to signify the feeling that these three young tenors were about to spread their wings and fly. Already certified platinum in their homeland and several other countries, Il Volo has captured the hearts of Americans of all ages following their 'American Idol' debut and appearances on 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,' 'Good Morning America' and 'Ellen.' They take on a range of both new and traditional, classically-influenced pop songs.
