Il Volo Professional ~~ Abruzzo Celebrates Gianluca and his Il Volo Brothers
Hi, Everyone!
We just had a day to celebrate Ignazio’s amazing accomplishment –being named in the annals of “Memory” alums for his contribution to that song’s history (Yay!) Today, we recap last week’s celebrations in Gianluca’s honor.
In an email from Mary B., she summarized it all very succinctly with a few interesting items of history as well:
“Recently Gianluca experienced what the Abruzzo newspaper, The Messenger, described as “a week of fire.”
First the young Rosetan was named, “Ambassador of Abruzzo 2015” by the city of Roseto. The award for this honor was a statue depicting the warrior Capistrano, a well known historical figure. The original statue was found buried in the soil by a farmer while working in his field, and is now on display in the National Archaeological Museum of the Abruzzi in Chieti.
Gianluca was also given an award by the publishers of the Eldos News, who named him “World Ambassador of the city of Roseto degli Abruzzo.” This award was a plaque in gold and silver made by the prominent goldsmith, Roberto Talamonti. Piero and Ignazio were also included in this event, being named Honorary Citizens of Roseto and receiving awards printed on parchment and roses made of silver.”
Enjoy the photos/videos/articles below, and since all good things come in threes, I’m going to guess that there will be another reason to celebrate the amazing guys soon! 😉

Il Volo Professional ~~ The Tour Begins; Locarno and Assisi
Hey Everyone!
The Il Volo Tour 2015 has kicked off with a concert in Locarno, Switzerland, and it seems like the audience was completely smitten — as we already knew they would be. You can’t see Il Volo in concert and not fall in love. Well, I supposed you can, but then you’re probably on the wrong website. You’re welcome to stay around while we shamelessly try to change your mind. 😉
Their visit to Locarno was followed by a fundraising appearance in Assisi. Since they came right on top of each other, I included them both. Enjoy!

A Greeting From Ignazio
I spend my days in Il Volo Land
Remember when we were young children we spent our days dreaming of the day we could go to Disneyland… A land of magic for children… Now we are all grown up and we are still dreaming of that special day, only now its an Il Volo Concert instead of Disneyland… Back in the day, when we were dreaming of that special day when we would finally step foot in the magic kingdom, we would satisfy our craving with watching The magical world of Disney on TV… That would hold us over till our parents saved enough money to take us to Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom…
Fast forward to today, now we fill our days with Il Volo… January we saw a Special on Il Volo… Oh did they ever look wonderful … February we watched Sanremo and they took home the grand prize, they finally received the recognition they deserved, they got their Grande Amore from Italia… We also got to spend a few moments with them on the Massimo Giletti show…
In March we saw them with Uncle Bruno on Porta a Porta… So many interviews, Guest spots on radio shows… Oh yes, Singing before a Soccer Game in Italy…
May was even busier than the months before promoting their Grande Amore for Europe so that when they walk onto the Eurovision stage all of Europe would know who they are… Oh how Il Volo looked on The Red Carpet , were we proud? Oh yes we were, Armani Models for sure… They won the popular vote and were happy that the people of Europe loved them and their Grande Amore…
Now we are in June, and we are able to see more of Il Volo… We were thrilled by the charity soccer game that they participated on June 2… They do so much for Charity… They make us proud…
On June 4th Il Volo was on the Wind Music Awards 2015, They sang to the crowed arena their Grande Amore and the fans sang along with them, not only did they received their award from Carlo Conti, but they received an even greater award from their fans… A standing ovation… It just does not get better than that…
We have so many more Il Volo filled days to look forward to in the coming months and when they are done winning the hearts of Italy and Europe, they will come back to us and we will be able to finally make our dream come true by buying that Ticket to the Concert and Meet and Greet and see our beautiful men of Il Volo live and in person right before our eyes, giving us their Grande Amore!!! A dream come true for all Il Volo Lovers..
~Jannette
