MILAN, Italy — Broadcast on Italia 1, a fascinating behind-the-scenes investigative report by correspondent Nicolò De Devitiis for the hit show Le Iene offered fans an unprecedented, raw look into the lives of Italy’s premier operatic pop trio. Titled “De viaje con Il Volo” (On the Road with Il Volo) and released with Spanish subtitles, the feature captures 48 intense hours embedded with Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble during the Paris and Sofia legs of their massive European tour.

Moving past the polished grandiosity of their live arena shows, the report pulls back the curtain to reveal the humor, exhausting schedules, and deeply human dynamics of three men who have spent half their lives under the global spotlight.

Testing the Brotherhood: Humor and Friction

True to the irreverent style of Le Iene, De Devitiis doesn’t hesitate to poke at the trio’s interpersonal dynamics. The report captures the genuine, brotherly friction that comes with 15-plus years of constant coexistence.

With Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca now in their late twenties and early thirties, the footage showcases how they navigate their distinct personalities. They openly joke about their daily arguments, with Ignazio acting as the comedic bridge between Piero’s intense, traditional discipline and Gianluca’s more relaxed, contemporary pop-star sensibilities.

“We are literal brothers,” the trio admitted during a candid moment in the report. “We know exactly how to annoy each other, but we also know exactly how to protect each other when we step onto that stage.”
