Piero Barone: The Heart of a Tenor
Born in Naro, Sicily, Piero discovered his love for singing at just three years old through the guidance of his blind grandfather. That early connection to music — strengthened by his father’s support and encouragement to take lessons — shaped him into the powerhouse vocalist he is today. In addition to singing, Piero plays piano and drums, often saying that music is “like food and oxygen” to him.
Influenced by legends such as Luciano Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo, Piero considers performing alongside Domingo on “Il Canto” one of the most meaningful milestones of his career.
Vocal coach Myron Heaton describes Piero as a Heldentenor — a rare “heroic tenor” voice capable of soaring above full orchestras with remarkable clarity and endurance. His technique allows him to navigate both classical arias and modern ballads with ease, making every performance a testament to his dedication and artistry.
Charisma, Style, and the Spirit of Il Volo
Piero’s signature red eyeglasses and his warm, humorous personality make him instantly recognizable. While Gianluca brings elegance and Ignazio adds boundless energy, it is Piero’s combination of discipline, intelligence, and vocal brilliance that often anchors the group’s sound.
Their rendition of “O Sole Mio” is a shining example of why Il Volo continues to win hearts around the world — a perfect fusion of operatic technique, contemporary flair, and irresistible stage presence. For fans, the performance wasn’t just music; it was an experience filled with passion, artistry, and joy.
Il Volo doesn’t simply perform — they create moments that linger.
