      Il Volo pays homage to maestro Ennio Morricone. With a great free concert on June 5, 2021 in Rome, in Piazza Pio XII, in front of St. Peter's Basilica. A work in progress, the announcement of which was wanted by the three boys and by the mayor of the capital Virginia Raggi, as a sign of hope and rebirth in a difficult time like the one we are experiencing. "By presenting the project eight months in advance - explain the three artists -, we try to give a message of optimism, to be able to return to living life in the normal way. And also to draw attention to the workers of the show business", for whom - they anticipate - they are thinking with other colleagues, including Fedez and Ermal Meta, about a project to raise funds. "We must think about the future, what will come next - adds the mayor Raggi -. And focus on major events, culture, the possibility and capacity that this city, together with artists of international caliber, has to attract investments, work and other artists. Everything must start again and saying it today is the sign of the will to overcome this situation. I hope that the tribute to Morricone, who is part of us and of Italian culture, will be the first event of many others ". "Il Volo tribute to Ennio Morricone" will be a journey into the art of one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century. The belcanto trio, accompanied by the orchestra, will try their hand at the soundtracks of the Oscar-winning master, who passed away on July 6, but also with some pop songs on which he put his unmistakable brand, such as Il Mondo or Se Telefonando. In the lineup there will be pieces of soundtracks that already have lyrics and others that will be designed ad hoc for the concert in Rome, in collaboration with the Morricone family. The event will also go live on TV and Il Volo appeals to all colleagues who have worked with Morricone to go on stage with them. "The Master deserves a great night and a great homage". Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble are linked to Morricone, with whom they shared the stage in 2011 in Piazza del Popolo in Rome, performing with the song "E più ti credo" on a medley of the soundtracks of the films "C ' it was once in America "and" Malèna ", signed by him. "Il Volo tribute to Ennio Morricone" also becomes the title of the next recording project of the three artists with worldwide publication for Sony Music, which should be released more or less simultaneously with the event in Rome. The latter is part of "United For The World", an idea by Thomas Errera for a container that, through entertainment, wants to raise awareness on important global issues such as the care and protection of the planet, inclusion , sustainable development. Meanwhile, Il Volo will open the Formula 1 Grand Prix on November 1 at the Imola racetrack, interpreting the Mameli anthem. "The hymn represents unity. The text is inspired by a past we have not known and tells us that in difficult moments we are united," they explain. On the program, with the hope that it will return to normal, a tour that will touch the Arena of Verona on 29 and 30 August 2021, on 4 and 5 September the Ancient Theater of Taormina and then on 16 October the Pala Alpitour in Turin, on 20 October the Palazzo dello Sport in Rome, on 23 October the Forum in Assago.
