Il Volo Reflect on 18 Years Together, Their Christmas Traditions and What’s Next

Il Volo say trust, authenticity and shared enthusiasm have helped them stay together for 18 years, despite their different personalities. The Italian trio, known for classical singing, describe performing as a source of freedom and say they have kept control of their artistic identity with support from a long-standing manager and collaborators.

The interview comes ahead of their album *Our Christmas* and a tour across the United States and major Italian arenas. Gianluca, Piero and Ignazio began performing at 14; they reflect on how early success shaped their teenage years and say they learned to distinguish their identities from their public image. Away from the stage, they share ordinary interests, including Gianluca’s enthusiasm for Fontaines D.C.
