-Do you hum Their music at Walmart? The Doctors office? Work?

p - cross-Do you know the location of Abruzzo, Marsala and Naro?

-Did you pay $200.00 just for a closer look?

-Do you know what the letters “TLUC” stand for?

-Do you feel the need to use words like Buonanotte, Grazie and Bravo?i - THE KISS

-Do you look for that freckle on the end of Ignazio’s nose? The small scar on
Gianluca’s right cheek? Piero’s little cross?

g - twitter scar-Do you plan to spend the rest of your life celebrating Their lives?

Well, do you?

I already knew you did.

Welcome, this is exactly where you belong.

Il Volo Show On TV?

tvbloglogotwitter

It might be.  In an article found on an Italian TV blog,  http://www.blogtv.it , it appears that Il Volo has become the muse for a fictional television series that is in the works.

The article can be found here —> http://www.tvblog.it/post/548911/fiction-italiane-2014-15-virna-lisi-in-e-la-mia-famiglia-alessio-boni-in-la-catturandi , and the paragraph for consideration is copied and translated by Bing below:

Nuova Fiction Mediaset: secondo Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni la Ciao Ragazzi di Claudia Mori sarebbe già al lavoro per realizzare una fiction dedicata a Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone e Ignazio Boschetto, i tre tenorini che dopo aver partecipato a Ti lascio una canzone hanno creato il gruppo Il volo, ottenendo successo in tutto il mondo.

New Fiction Mediaset: according to Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni , Claudia Mori would already be working to create a fiction dedicated to Gianluca Ginoble and Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, the three tenorini that after participating in Ti lascio una canzone have created the group, gaining success around the world.
Hmmm….we might have to keep an eye out to see what happens with this…  😉  Thanks to All About Il Volo for the heads up.  🙂
Moscow Welcomes Il Volo
Il Volo took their first trip to Russia this week to be guest stars of a show with the great, Toto Cutugno.  By all accounts that I have read, Mr. Cutugno is well-loved and respected throughout the country, selling out shows even now at the age of 70.  I’d imagine being a part of one of his shows has given our guys even more exposure; how exciting for them!

Joining them as quest stars was Ms. Ceclia Cesario, also from Italy.  To learn more about her, you can visit her website, http://www.ceciliacesario.it.
It appears that this concert was highly anticipated in Moscow, going so far as to hold an open rehearsal for the press only before the show, which is mentioned in an article
There was also a TV interview conducted and aired on Russian TV, which can be seen
Il Volo and Toto

As usual in the Il Volo fandom, there are pictures galore among the many fan sites.  Is anyone surprised by that?  We know IlVolovers rock!  Please check them out and comment below to let us know some of your favorites.  🙂

There are also a smattering of videos available as well, the best of which have links provided here.  I hope that they let you feel as if you were a part of it.  Please enjoy and thank those groups and individuals that took time to share them with us!

The Italians Are Coming! The Italians Are Coming!

DSCN0909 - name

Not since the British invasion (the army and The Beatles) has an event been more anticipated than the Il Volo Concert Schedule Announcement! Even though all dates and venues haven’t been made public, people (me) are trying to find tickets.

RSCN1013 - name
I already know I will be at the Chicago (Elgin 6/20) and Detroit (Sterling Hts 6/19) concerts. I think a lot of us will be in Chicago. I can hardly believe I will have the chance to meet some of you who I have been in communication with for well over a year. Last year I was privileged to meet Loretta, Mary B. (and family), Christine, June and Lisa (Lijoy). Could I be so lucky to see them again and meet even more Crew this year? Just wait until you see the hug I have in store for Linda, Kelly, Elaine and Michele! It will always be odd to me how you can know someone and yet, never have laid eyes on them. I know I missed meeting some of you last year. This year I will make an avenue available for those of you, like me, who want to meet other Flight Crew Members at the concerts.

RSCN1000 - name
Although I would like all 15 concerts close to me, I am already satisfied. My wish is for our other friends to have the opportunity to see and hear such special talent. That’s why I’m hoping for concerts scheduled in or near, at least, New Orleans, Dallas, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Portland. I purposely did not write Minneapolis. No, not because I couldn’t spell it (I couldn’t), but because it’s too far for me to go and I’m hoping to force 3 lovely ladies to Chicago! You can pretty much count on California, New York and Florida to be Il Volo stops. Oh heck Boys! We need another month!

Be sure to watch our calendar. We’ll let you know as soon as other cities are announced.

RSCN1015 - name

So, what are your thoughts this year? Here are some more of the things spinning around in my head:
– Will They be different (hope not)
Will They look more like grown men? (Oh No! I really want my curly haired babies back!)
– I hope we can take pictures!
– Wow! Performing with the Elgin Symphony Orchestra!
– Wish we had a clue to what They will be singing.
– I’ll get Meet & Greets so I can touch Them again!
– Will I embarrass myself by rushing the stage or attacking security personnel?
– Will we see Them in May on Family, The Talk, Tonight Show?
Will a new album come out first?
– Could there still be unlucky people who have not heard Il Volo?
– How did I get so lucky?
– Will They be more out of my reach, the more famous They get?
Will They finally sing songs They wrote?
– Will They be back in the Fall? Christmas?
– Will there be another PBS Special?
– When will They realize that no one loves Them more than I do and come over for dinner?
– Will They be clean shaven or sport those handsome beards (w/o dimple coverage, Please!)
– Will I still swoon when Gianluca smiles? When Piero pushes back his glasses? Because Ignazio exists?
– And the ever present – Can I lose 10 pounds before the concert?

Me and The Boys
Me and The Boys

What have I missed? What else is it that we positively, absolutely have to know? What thoughts do you have?

Well Boys, we have the welcome mat out, the light on and our credit cards in hand.
We’re ready for you. I just know, that by now, your souls are yearning to sing to us!
