For all of the Americans out there, here and abroad, we wish you a safe and happy 4th of July!
Two years ago today, Lorna and I, with many others, celebrated the 4th at the Verona concert! What fabulous fireworks it was! 🙂 Seems like forever ago now!
I was perusing through my email and happened upon the little Italian digital news paper of L’italo – Americano. It is a great little newspaper with a wealth of interesting Italian tidbits. I clicked on a link and it took me to their Facebook page. As I was scrolling along, I happened upon this posting. It nearly took my breath away with its beauty and music. I nice little repast…. it takes you from sunrise, to sunset!
Enjoy!
From Wikipedia: Piedmont (/ˈpiːdmɒnt/ PEED-mont; Italian: Piemonte, pronounced [pjeˈmonte]; Piedmontese, Occitan and Arpitan: Piemont; French: Piémont) is a region in northwest Italy, one of the 20 regions of the country.[3] It borders the Liguria region to the south, the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions to the east and the Aosta Valley region to the northwest; it also borders France to the west and Switzerland to the northeast. It has an area of 25,402 square kilometres (9,808 sq mi) and a population of 4 377 941 as of 30 November 2017. The capital of Piedmont is Turin.

Thank Jana. All corners of Italy seem to have been blessed with natures beauty.
Thanks Jana, I see that you like all of Italy, from the north, (Piedmont) to the south (Sicily) and I’m very happy of this.
GOOD 4th JULY to the whole crew.
This video I found long ago, I think it’s appropriate today.

Daniela, you made our day with this video we had never seen before-means a lot to us. Thanks.
I imagined Mark, you see, our boys are fantastic on every occasion!
this is lovely,. thank you Daniela
Thank you Daniela, for the beautiful tribute of our National anthem by IlVolo. When they sang this in the U S. before a ballgame it was very special!
Yes, Jane, and here they were training for that occasion!
Jane and Daniela, our guys sing the National Anthem better than anyone else I have heard before, and I’m not just saying that because it’s them.
How many times have you heard an American singer forget the words, but not our guys! 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇹
As far as I know, Il Volo sang The Star Spangled Banner twice–once before a ball game and once in Boston after the Boston Marathon bombing, Here’s the baseball link:

Thanks Jana for those amazing pictures of Italy beautiful country I so want to go there.
Good fourth of July to everyone hope weather is perfect for you & I still say when Il Volo sings a song it turns to gold. No other singers can compeat. They are truly our treasures who make us feel as if they are going to improve the world. With angelic voices like theirs they will succeed.
It took a lot of searching but I found the Boston singing of the National Anthem. It begins at 3:56 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3TRhyAib8U&list=PLhN5bCvFlxgnZVS_UCnqX0a8wkZwgR9Hi

to my wonderful friends of Flight Crew in USA,
a greeting today for you, from Manila!
Hi Jana can you please tell me what the name of the new CD or video of Il Volo’s & also the name of the new CD. I haven’t been able to get out so I want my son to pick them up for if we can get it in Brantford. I phoned Brantford CD’s here to no evail. Thanks
Loretta, no one knows the name of it as it is NOT out yet. And no one knows what’s holding it up. We have to be patient–which is very hard!!
I use the search engine Bing but I think it would also be on Google.
I type in Il Volo Star Spangled Banner New York.
They went to the fire station in New York on a trip sometime after 9-11 and
sang the song. The fire chief is Italian also. Ignazio dressed up in a
firemans suit. I was very touched with their performance.
oh, Gale, i know that one. i like that a lot.

I think you mean this Gale, really beautiful.
Thank you Cynthia. Penina, Gale & Daniela. Our precious Il Volo are so wonderful
Thank you for the videos. I came from West Virginia , and there was a coal camp named Piedmont in Mercer county. In the mountains to the south. I think there were a number of families in the area from Italy.
Thanks, Jana for the beautiful video! How I would love to see it in person! This was almost as good! <3 <3 <3
