Well, today was finally the day! Piero was named “Ambassador of Naro in the World”, truly an honor and a credit to his character and to his work with Il Volo. The ceremony was held at Chiesa di San Francesco in Naro, and Il Volo as a group was recognized as well.
There is so much that could be said, but in true Ilvolovers’ fashion, it has been covered more eloquently than I need to try to repeat. All of the groups have been hard at work all day, basically, bringing out all the pictures and news that can be found. Thank you so much, because a lot of my work was made easier by all of you!
Congratulations, Piero!

I am looking forward to what the year 2015holds for you, Ignazio, and Gianluca. I love the three of you, and can’t wait for your new CD. PLEASE hurry back to the USA!!
The audio was not the best, but I didn’t care, my Italian is limited to a few words anyway… Just to see Piero be given the honor of being named the Ambassador of Naro in the world was good enough for me… And then to see Gianluca and Ignazio be recognized for their participation in Il Volo was just beautiful… The city of Naro treated all three with love, it just does not get better than that… To see Piero’s Grandfather speak and the love that Piero has for him shown all over his face… That brought me to tears… The love that all three have for each other and the affection that they so readily exhibit for all to see just does my heart good… Is there another group of young men that do what Il Volo does? The are so unique… They are Gods blessings to us as they show caring, kindness, Charisma, and love to the world… We can all take a lesson from these three young men on how to spread love, joy and kindness every day of our life… THEY ARE LOVE
