Hey Everyone!
I think I’ve–dare I say it?–finally caught up with our busy globe trotters and can take a bit of a rest until they hit Mexico at the end of the week. Perhaps a drink right in the middle of that group of guys in the picture Gianluca Instagramed a little while ago….no…? OK…fine…. *pouting* 😉
Il Volo Performs At the New Wave Music Festival
After an emotional and amazing week in Taormina, The Guys headed to Riga, the capital of Latvia, and Jurmala to participate in the New Wave Music Festival. The festival is a six day event with two days dedicated to international competition, though Il Volo did not compete; they appeared as special guests, singing two crowd favorites.

They Talk Fashion

And they gave an interview to Mix TV, a Latvian music television station geared toward young people.

Yes, Gianluca; we love your looks from Brioni. Ooh, la la! Unfortunately, I’m not blonde. Dang!
Press Conference in Pescara
From Latvia, they headed “home; sweet home,” or more correctly: Gianluca did. Ignazio and Piero went with him to prepare for their press conference in Pescara to talk about their upcoming concert in Abruzzo in September. In attendance were: Pescara’s mayor, Marco Alessandrini, Giovanni Di Iacovo, Council Member of Culture, Massimo Fregnani, the Italian tour promoter and, of course, their faithful manager, Michele Torpedine.

Good Luck, guys! I know you’ll have as much success in Abruzzo as you did in Sicily!
Tormina Wrap Up
I’m guessing that everyone has seen about everything that there is to see about Taormina, but I found a few more things. Enjoy!

Thank you, Maria!
Just Because
If you don’t know that The Guys believe in faith and family, you need to read this interview from Zenit. If you already know, read it and fall in love with them more. 😉

Ciao!

Thanks for the update! The pictures are awesome! I wish them the best of luck in Mexico! And I think you can have that drink! 😉 excited to see more!
I just watched some of the videos as well. Absolutely amazing (as always)!
Hi, just 2 corrections! First: Mixtv is a station from LATVIA not from Brazil as stated above
….and second: my name is Athina Angelopoulos (not Anthina Angelopolous, hhahaha)
Kisses to all!! 🙂
I’m so sorry, Athena! I obviously copied it wrong. 🙁
Don’t worry, sweetie, I’m not upset! People always confuse my name 😀
I want to thank you guys. My summer has been so busy that I have not been able to keep up with Il Volo events. But because of your site (I like to think of this has “our” site some times) I can catch up. As late as it is I still have yet to watch the Taormina concert ! Yes, I know. I am really behind the times. Anyone have a link to use for the whole concert in one video ?
Also, any Il Volo friends are so welcome to email me direct at meheaton@earthlink.net
Hi Myron, Look up Maria Sergeeva’s videos of the Taormina concerts. She recorded songs from both nights of the concerts & the sound & picture quality is very good. I think these are the same ones Kelly noted above from Il Volo Russia. I don’t know if they are the whole concerts, but they are not all in one video.
I have the links to the playlists Maria posted in the tweets at the bottom of this post. 🙂 She was excited to let me use her material here.
Kelly this amazing history of Pescara, Riga, Latvia & Abruzzo. I loved the pictures of the buildings in Abruzzo with the art work . Beautiful cities Amazing pictures of the guys & videos. I am glad Gianluca spoke & corrected the girl calling them tenors. He is having quite a time correcting ignorant people who can’t seem to understand there are 2 tenors & 1 BARITONE. I felt that girl was quite rude even cutting off a man who was trying to speak. Your hard work is excellent.
Ignazio, Gianluca Piero I know I can wish you loads of luck but I also know your success is always proof of how dedicated & professional of excellence you already are. You will knock them dead in Mexico as you did Taormina. Way to go.
Thanks Kelly, you find the most amazing stuff, I love it!!!
Thank you for all the shares. I love it. Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 15:11:16 +0000 To: b2g1947@hotmail.com
Kelly, once again I’m lost inside your post. So many wonderful highlights! Thanks!
Thank you Kelly for the wonderful wrap up. Love every word, photo and song. Great wishes to our guys as they head to Mexico to WOW yet another country just waiting to love and celebrate them once again! 🙂
Thanks Kelly for all your hard work, now go and enjoy a well deserved rest. at least for a couple of days anyway!
I’m glad you guys enjoyed it. 🙂 I love seeing how easy they are in front of a camera now.
Is anyone else having problems posting. Keep being told that my comments cannot be posted at this time. Help!!
Not having trouble posting, but the print is so pale. Hard to read at times. Anyone know why?
I’m having the same “pale print” issue. Thought it was my computer. Still don’t know why.
I specifically changed it to black type for that reason…. :/. It’s not showing up?
Kelly, black is not showing up on my end. ??
Kelly, just realized what YOU print on the actual story is in black, but everyone’s responses are pale brown.
Mine is the same, Kelly. Just the responses are so pale that I have trouble reading them.
My responses are also light Kelly.
Kelly-I don’t know how you manage to compile all this information and present it so beautifully but you do an outstanding job and I love every single bit of it !! You’re terrific !!
Thank you! I have lots of help getting information. 🙂
Hi Myon, was missing reading your review. Can’t wait to hear your responses after you are able to catch up.
Thanks Kelly – I too have to catch up! Il Volo is on the way to Mexico and I am just catching up on their July activities! Great post!
Myron, FYI Seems to be some kind of security issue for your e mail. Tried 3 times today. thought you might want to investigate.
This has nothing to do with the post, I just didn’t know how to get to you guys any other way (sorry). Could you guys post like a thing showing all over Ignazio’s tattoos, because I have searched the internet high and low and can only find two of them!!!! Thanks so much if you do it!!!
Yea! so much easier to read. Thank you Kelly! Wish I had the computer knowledge that all of you have. Maybe some day?
I’m glad you can read it better, Kitty. But I can’t take credit. I had to reach out to WordPress staff for help with this. Rachel was a sweet woman who live-chatted with me and fixed the problem in 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I could not put her on “speed dial,” for the next time I have an issue. 🙂
This piece of writing offers clear idea designed for the new
visitors of blogging, that truly how to do blogging and site-building.
I used to be suggested this blog via my cousin. I am not sure whether or not this put up
is written by way of him as nobody else realize such specific about my difficulty.
You are wonderful! Thanks!
