On stage, Gianluca Ginoble is known for his composure and rich baritone voice, qualities that have made Il Volo one of the most admired vocal groups in the world. But during a recent performance, fans witnessed a different side of the singer — not the polished star, but a grieving young man mourning the loss of someone deeply important to him and to the group.
Barbara Vitali, Il Volo’s longtime manager, passed away recently, leaving a void not only in the professional life of the trio but also in their hearts. For more than a decade, Vitali had been a constant presence behind the scenes, guiding the group through the complexities of international fame, touring schedules, and personal growth. Her work went far beyond logistics and contracts. To Gianluca, Piero Barone, and Ignazio Boschetto, she was family.

The tribute came unexpectedly, during a performance where emotions were already running high. As Gianluca stepped forward to address the audience, his usual ease was replaced by a noticeable hesitation. His words came slowly, each one heavy with meaning: “She was more than a manager — she was family.” His voice cracked mid-sentence, and in that moment, the auditorium fell silent. The spotlight dimmed slightly, and all that remained was the raw honesty of grief shared publicly.
Barbara Vitali’s role in Il Volo’s success cannot be overstated. From their early days as teenagers competing on Ti Lascio Una Canzone to their triumph on the Eurovision stage and global concert tours, she was there every step of the way. She believed in their talent before the world fully recognized it, ensuring that their voices were heard and their careers nurtured with care and professionalism. Gianluca’s tribute painted her not just as a manager but as the foundation of their journey, someone who gave them stability as they navigated fame.
The audience’s reaction mirrored the intensity of Gianluca’s emotion. Many were seen wiping away tears, moved by both the sincerity of his words and the depth of the bond between Il Volo and their late manager. Within hours, clips of the tribute began circulating online, quickly gaining traction among fans around the world. Messages of condolence poured in across social media platforms, with fans describing the moment as “heart-wrenching,” “beautifully raw,” and “a reminder of how much love was shared within their team.”
For Il Volo, this loss marks more than a professional change — it is the departure of a guiding figure who shaped not only their careers but also their personal lives. Gianluca’s openness in showing his grief was a rare glimpse into the vulnerability behind the polished performances. In sharing his pain with fans, he allowed them to feel part of the mourning process, reinforcing the deep connection that Il Volo has always maintained with its audience.
As the trio continues forward, the absence of Barbara Vitali will surely be felt, but her legacy remains imprinted on every note they sing and every stage they step onto. Gianluca’s tribute was more than a farewell; it was a public acknowledgment of gratitude and love for someone who made their dream possible.
