Il Volo

The Il Volo band consists of three members, Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto and Gianluca Ginoble. Piero Barone was born in Naro, Sicily; Ignazio Boschetto was born in Bologna, Italy; and Gianluca Ginoble was born in Roseto degli Abruzzi, Italy. These three pop-opera singers began their career when they met on the second edition of the Italian RAI TV music competition show ''Ti lascio una canzone'' (English: Leavin' You a Song), held at the Ariston Theater in Sanremo. On May 2, 2009, Gianluca Ginoble won the competition, singing Andrea Bocelli's "Il mare calmo della sera". During the competition, the three singers were chosen to perform, as a trio, the Neapolitan classic "'O Sole Mio". After the competition, they continued to perform together under the names The Tryo, Il Trio, and finally Il Volo. In 2010, the trio participated in the charity single, "We Are the World 25 for Haiti", remake of the 1985 hit song, "We Are the World". In February 2010, they performed the songs, "Granada"
