Alene, I have Comcast cable and they offer an Italian station “RAI” which will be airing the Christmas concert in Assisi in Christmas day in Italy. So I signed up for 1 month ($10) so I can see it. Maybe your cable station has it. Then I’ll just cancel it after Christmas. I figure $10 is a bargain!
Your right Loretta.
They obviously plan to keep in touch. We knew they would.
Here’s a good morning tweet from Gianluca:
Gianluca Il Volo @GianGinoble 9h
Hi everyone! How are you today? I just want to tell you that I’m thinking about you and that I can’t wait to start the journey again! 😘
Thanks Mlla every time I see Ignazio’s glorious face or hear him sing with that glorious voice I automatically smile. This has made my day, hope your day is wonderful also.
Mlla thank you so much that was wonderful. The pose that Ignazio did for the camera was sooo handsome he is my heart throb. That is a treasure to keep forever.
Simply beautiful! Thank you so very much for sharing this. What I would give to be sitting there in that magnificent setting listening to such extraordinary singers..IL VOLO! I can only dream…
Did I recognize the conductor as Steven Mercurio, who conducted for IL VOLO Takes Flight… Live from the Detroit Opera House ?? (see around 15-20 seconds in)
Wow, Steven Mercurio really plays for all the greats. I saw him in Chicago with Andrea Bocelli. His orchestra is fantastic. Don’t know if that is him though.

Thanks, Lijoy! I saw a better view of conductor Steven Mercurio later.

Lijoy thank you so much they are spectacular as usual
So beautiful!!!! What angels singing Silent Night. Just got finished watching that clip with Ignazio signing What does a Fox say. That cracked me up so much to see them all laughing. So cute!!!
Thank you so mucn Lijoy that setting was spectacular & their voices were outstanding. They are the three most handsome men on the planet. Yes it wpuld have been wonderful to be in the audience.
Wow! Glorious!
I’ve got to say, too, that Ignazio looks more handsome every day! (Is that possible?)
Piero seemed surprisingly nervous before he started into singing. (Maybe he was just taking things very seriously.) Such a sacred place to be offering their gifts in their homeland.
The blending of their voices was spectacular!
Thank you so very much, Lijoy! What a tremendous gift!

Thanks Mlla, I needed to see them in the now. Looks like a beautiful Bascilica, and It’s going to be beautiful concert!

Cheers everyone
Thanks Mlla, Oh how I wish I could hear them. They seem so far away!

Thanks Mlla & Marie O thought they were rehearsing with Paul Sorvino. The man looks like Paul Sorvino
It is PaulSorvino in the picture. Also, Rolling Stone magazine has an article on il Volo dated Dec 12.
Sorry I didn’t see his name at the bottom of the picture. He must be living in Italy now
Piero is so thoughtful to send us an instagram of his family at the dinner table
Your right Loretta.

Hi everyone! How are you today? I just want to tell you that I’m thinking about you and that I can’t wait to start the journey again! 😘
He can’t wait?!!
Yeah he just got home & he can’t wait to get back, he has got to be spoofing
No. In a way, I really think that IS Gianluca, especially when I remember the thank-you video Gian made for his fans on his 18th birthday.
God love him.

Just starting to catch up after a long time away (too busy and missing all)
Marie is there a program they are on today on TV???

all credits Yahoo music and Il Volo, done shortly before going back to Italy, you might have it already..but just in case
Thanks for the site info Michele. For me, This Yahoo interview is the best I’ve seen them do. Love it!
Thanks so much, mlla! I hadn’t heard their White Christmas at Yahoo Music. Wonderful.
Redoubling my prayers for them. Still sounds like Ignazio has just a touch of a cold and that Piero has some hoarseness in his voice.
God bless them with total rejuvenation, full recovery of their vitality and their voices,

Thanks Mlla every time I see Ignazio’s glorious face or hear him sing with that glorious voice I automatically smile. This has made my day, hope your day is wonderful also.
Busy buy Ok… Glad to be of assistance.
Loretta they were on the afternoon broadcast of the Today show today.
Thanks Stephanie. Mlla put a link here & I saw the whole show. Aren’t they goreous. Ignazio is out of thuis world.

Yes Mlla. I think. Besides this mornings I’ve received two links between 3 and 4 o’clock.

il volo will perform 17 songs according to Corriere dell’ Umbria (the concert is actually ongoing now)
I still have a lump in my throat since watching that video. Thank you, Lijoy.
Saw the great review of their Buon Natale cd in December 16 issue of People magazine! So proud of them.
I agree, Ann! And the Italian TV interviews, like Porta a Porta have been amazing (even the little I could pick up).
