As you all know, Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca quickly returned to Italy. But maybe not everyone, especially those who don’t have Facebook, knows where the guys are now.
The three, are scattered around Italy, one in the north, one in the center and one in the south.
Let’s start with Piero.
As we read from his words, Piero returned to Sicily, to his Naro, but did not return to the family. To preserve his health and the health of his loved ones, Piero has self-isolated himself in his apartment (which is close to that of his parents), and has no physical contact with them. He has self-declared (as is expected here) and is observing a quarantine, isolated from all.
Piero made a video call with his friend Mariano Di Vaio, whom the boys had met in Miami.
Here it is and I will roughly translate it for you.
First thing, we all notice, Piero’s new beard cut …… I don’t like it !!! 😑
Mariano also makes fun of Piero for doing this new shave and leaving his mustache like this, and laughing. Piero said he did it alone (of course). He was inspired by the Narcos telefilm, where there is a sheriff, and was inspired by him.
Piero says he’s been in quarantine for two days and already doesn’t know what to do. Mariano says he’s been four days and it feels like a month (he also has a wife and 3 children).
Piero shows that he also tried to cut his hair, with the result that he almost peeled one side. (disaster)
He says he saw a video of a fairly well-known singer in Miami, who was in the disco without worries. 😲
(Thank you Judy Thurman for this nice collage!)
Di Vaio, confirming that he spoke with friends in Miami when the alarm went up, but people still do not realize the big problem of C19.
To pass the time, Piero watches TV, then has tools to train with, takes virtual lessons with his personal trainer.
Piero says that he would have liked to stay at home with his parents and sister, however, he is alone and the policemen come every day to check that he is at home, in isolation, because having been away, he does not know if he may have contracted the virus, and therefore, rightly so.
But Piero, what did you do, right now that hair was starting to grow back!!
Climbing up, from the boot, we arrive in central Italy, Montepagano ….. Gianluca.
Gianluca was traveling, accompanied by his mother Eleonora. They returned home, but not to their parents’ house, but to Gianluca’s house, to be isolated from Ercole and Ernesto. Gianluca lives close to his parents, but they still couldn’t hug each other. They too are in isolation.
Gianluca provides us with many moments of his day and his beautiful home.
In this video, Gianluca says that in quarantine they are all becoming incredible chefs.
He too, who has never cooked in his life, made an amazing banana dessert.
Then Gian also practices playing the piano.
Bravo Gianluca !!
And he trains in his small gym.
Do not overdo it!
Instead, mother Eleonora sends us this photo of Ernesto beyond the railing of the window. On the photo it says: “Love at a distance, soon we will embrace each other again.”
We continue in the ascent of Italy, and we arrive in the north, in Bologna, where Ignazio is.
Ignazio returned to Bologna, where he has his apartment and where his sister Nina was, who was already waiting for him in solitary confinement.
The situation in Bologna is much more serious than in Sicily or Abruzzo.
Ignazio has a long phone call with his friend Fabio Ingrassia, which I translate briefly for you.
Immediately Fabio asks Ignazio if he has bought the new earring, and Ignazio affirms and shows it to him, then asks Ignazio, how is the first day of quarantine and Ignazio answers: Arturo, television and one meter from his sister Nina. Fabio tells him that in Marsala (where Fabio is) there are two new cases of C19.
Nina cooks, and Ignazio confirms that he is now vegan. He also shows a pizza that his sister made him on his arrival, heart-shaped and with vegan foods.
An exchange of ideas was born with Fabio who says that he eats real meat and Ignazio tells him that he is only a skeptic.
A message arrives from Gianluca, who is following their live, and he says that in Abruzzo they will create vegan arrosticini (typical food made with meat) for Ignazio.
Fabio reports that friends in Miami have said that the C19 is spreading and both say that it was not taken seriously there.
While chatting, Ignazio comes to a contact with Red Ronnie, who asks him where he is and Ignazio confirms that he is in Bologna.
So they talk about the hospital in Marsala, to which Fabio made a donation and Ignazio also confirms that he will do it too and therefore communicates the data for the hospital.
They talk about Ignazio’s guitars that he brought to Bologna, and he admits that he is training.
Every now and then Ignazio has sweet tenderness with his beloved Arturo.
Then Ignazio and Fabio experiment with chords and songs simultaneously with their guitars.
Ignazio asks Arturo what song he wants to hear ….
Arturo stretched over Ignazio and he says to him: “Do you want to rest a bit? I am dad, not a sofa!”
So the first quarantine days of IL VOLO have passed, but there are many days to pass, but the important thing is that they are safe.
Here in Italy, the situation has worsened and I think the boys were shocked on their return.
But even this period will pass.
I also recommend to you, American friends, stay safe!
