So CUTE!!! It says “Awaiting the signing of San Remo (that part doesn’t concern us) and “the godmother of a surprising musical trio”

This is a really nice video of Ignazio singing “Somos Novios”. He’s on Skype with his girlfriend Alessandra while he sings. Watch him dance with her during the musical refrain. (Kudos ~ All Things Il Volo)
(I must add here that this is one of the most romantic things I have ever seen! – Marie)

♥From Lydka
I mentioned that I was big fan of tennis and still I like tennis as a viewer.When I was younger I collected tennis posters, I gave away some of them ( for example gave as gifts few posters of Novak to my former friend ), but I still have quite a nice collection ( Djokovič, Federer, Nadal, Wawrinka, Tsonga, David Ferrer, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Berdych, Sharapova, Venus Williams, Ivanovič, Henin,Azarenka…). I mentioned in comment that I have book about Nole, also about Roger, and I got as gift from friend autograph from Djokovič, so that as evidence that I am not a liar I send photos of books, 2 posters and autograph. 🙂

Common Italian Words and Phrases
Italian is known for being one of the most beautiful languages there is. It is the language of Dante and Da Vinci, and the direct descendent of Latin. When learning Italian, however, it might help to start with the basics.
When you meet people you will have to communicate with them, introduce yourself, and know how to ask and answer some basic questions. You may not be fluent yet, and you may not be quoting renaissance poetry, but at least you can communicate and find your way around, which will open up many doors for you when you’re traveling around Italy.
