GROWING UP RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES
Disclaimer…I am not choosing favorites here (just doing Ignazio first) as I will be doing a Growing Up on each of the three guys. This is more of a pictorial essay than a written one. Just thought I’d make Marie do her happy dance by doing her dreamboat first. Are ya happy Marie??
IT TAKES COURAGE TO GROW UP AND BECOME WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
E. E. Cummings
IF YOU DON’T DO WILD THINGS WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG,
YOU’LL HAVE NOTHING TO SMILE ABOUT WHEN YOU’RE OLD.
DO NOT GO WHERE THE PATH MAY LEAD,
GO INSTEAD WHERE THERE IS NO PATH AND LEAVE A TRAIL.
We have watched you grow up right before our very eyes. We have seen you go where there was no path. You, along with your IL Volo brothers, have forged a new trail where no other singers your age were bringing their bel canto to the world. You have given us your all and we are so very grateful.
THE BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN THE WORLD CANNOT BE SEEN OR EVEN TOUCHED…THEY MUST BE FELT WITH THE HEART. Helen Keller
We feel every one of your songs with the heart.

Couldn’t be happier, Jane! Shaking from the overload! Excuse me…Must dance!
I can picture you right now…the Dancing Queen! 🙂
Lovely Jane! I love the pictures!
Thanks for this posting Jane.. Now that they are far away and in a quiet mode we miss them and seeing his face makes me smile and remember all the past” Ignazio moments”.
I know what you mean Gina. Just coming here every day and seeing them makes you feel closer to them especially when they are far away.
Some great shots here. Don’t think I’ve seen the scuba picture before?
Grazie, buongiorno!

Ignazio has such a wild side I would imagine he will give any new adventure a try in his lifetime!
thanks – but – I ‘m saddened you put a picture in with his weak left eye. He should consider eye surgery to correct it.
Rosemarie, I am sorry I didn’t even know he had a weak eye. Outside of the funny photos where he screws up his face, I think his eyes are just an amazing feature of his…beautiful and expressive.
Jane, Marie is not the only one smiling!! Can hardly wait for the other two…they make me smile, too!! Can’t choose, will just remain fickled! Thanks for starting my day off with your sweet post!!
Dorothy, I can never choose either. I love each of them for the same reasons and then I love each of them for their OWN reasons…does that make sense? 🙂
Thank you Jane. He is lovely and one of a kind!
Margaret, that he is!
Thank you Jane. Can’t help tearing up with these awesome pictures.
Ann, some photos just do that to you, don’t they?
Jane, thank you for this wonderful review of Ignazio! You made my day! <3
Barb, I know what you mean. Just seeing their faces each morning makes the day go better.
Just what I needed to start my day! Thank you Jane for thinking of us. I am dancing right behind Marie.
Dance away Rose Marie!
Thank you, Jane! I am a Boschettina! (and a Pierina and a Ginoblina)
Emelia, I love those words! Boschettina, Pierina and Ginoblina…
Super post, Jane….what great pictures and love your comments.
Mary, it’s been way too rainy here…needed a pick me up…these photos came at just the right time. 🙂
You know I love the face fur, but that black & white (with dimple) is a killer!
So is the one below it!
The last picture is the killer for me…OMG! 🙂
Yes! Penina AND Jane!
Of course, there are no bad ones!
P.s. I already have that last one as my wallpaper. 💖
Jane, THANK YOU!! Oh, my!!! 😍
Thank you Jane for these beautiful photos of Ignazio he was just so adorable as a baby beautiful eyes and face I love all the guys but have to admit Ignzaio pulls at my heartstrings I guess you could say he is a little wild – wildly handsome wildly talented and wildly funny
Thank you Jane !! This is beautiful !! The photos perfectly depict his growth and personality !! He was an adorable, chubby baby and now is a very handsome amazing young man who has a fantastic sense of humor, is sweet and kind and has a powerful voice that can knock your socks off !!! I just love him to bits !!! 💕💕
What a nice photo journey as I wake up this morning. Love that infectious spirit as well as his smile and beautiful voice. Thank You!
Great article Jane. Love the pictures. Of course Ignazio is my favorite but I love them all. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Jane, You guys with the comments always say what is in my heart. I look forward to more photos of our other two. Joanie g
Thanks for all of the great pics of our Wild Thing…and yes, that last one is my favorite! <3
Oh, Jane, what a wonderful discovery that you had done this one of Ignazio while I was out of town! The photos are wonderful, filled with memories, and fun! My momentary favs… 2nd and 4th from the last. There’s a little mystery there!

Grazie, Ignazio and Jane!
