[1] Boccia, along with Gianfranco Caliendo, former frontman and lead vocalist of Il Giardino dei Semplici, had already penned and scored an international hit with the popular song "Turuturu" (2001), which sold over 1.2 million copies in the world in its various versions.

[1][2] The song lyrics were not supposed to be changed, but on the behalf and desires by the trio, two verses were changed; "regina dei giorni miei" (queen of my days) became "respiro dei giorni miei" (breath of my days), and "sotto al tuo portone" (under your doorway) became "senza più timore" (without more fear).

[1] The lyrics were changed because as the original version refers to the serenade singing by a lover under the balcony to his lady, the trio felt it was too old style for their young age.

[6] On 23 May 2015, the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest was held in the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna hosted by Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF) and broadcast live throughout the continent.

On 12 May 2022, in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 held in Turin, Il Volo performed "Grande amore" as an interval act at the second semi-final.
