You CANNOT miss this!!!
Here is the address: https// m.facebook.com/Il Volo Mundial Oficial
Lynn, the video is a beautiful thing! More proof that Gianluca is all we think he is! What a wonderful tender moment at the end! Choked me up.
Lord, I asked you this before…Forget when I prayed to be 20. Make me 10 instead!
Side note – You can also see this video on Erocole Ginoble’s facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ercole.ginoble) without “Mundial” written across the center of the entire video! Tacky…(personal opinion)
Thanks for this great post.
Spaghetti in a cone is a great idea. Today you can eat with a plastic fork and the food stays in the cone instead of all over ones front shirt/blouse. Many years ago we were in Spain and they had fried Squid in a cone. Could not believe I fell in love with it since I am not fond of strange creatures.
It’s such a competition issued by this site.They analyzed the results of Eurovision 2015 and want to know what are the opinions of fans, if winners in each category of Eurovision contest would be the same also now. Il Volo certainly will not be at Eurovision 2016, fans would be happy to see them again there,but next year, but they will not be able to take part in Sanremo or Eurovision, because they have a world tour. 🙂

I voted. Hope “Grande Amore” wins. “The Heroes” sung by Mans Z. is the main competition. He had a lot of things posted on the Eurovision Facebooks and IL VOLO was only mentioned a few times.
Thanks Lydka. We need to vote so “Grande Amore” can win. ‘The Heroes” sung by Mans Z. is the competitions. Mans has been constantly featured in the Eurolvision Facebooks and IL VOLO only got a few postings.
I always say when they ask me, what is you favorite food? Italian is my answer. I have always liked it. Thank you for all this great information about the Italians customs; I like knowing how other people groups do things. We have countries with very rich culturally, Italy is one of them.
Thar’s good to hear Lynn I was praying that they would.
Ann that is quite a lot of Interesting information on Italy, I even got two recipes for chicken stew. One of these days I’ll get to Italy & from the pictures I’ve just seen it is going to be hard to choose where to go first so then I will ask your for your help. Your knowledge will be invaluable.
