IN CASE YOU MISSED IT….

December 19, 2013 13 Comments

Hi Everyone,

The Holidays are almost upon us and Il Volo is home, I mean REALLY home!They have since arriving back in Italy on Dec 10th, been very busy! The Boys have been in a concert in The Bascilica of St Francis of Assisi, they have been interviewed on radio and Italian television programs. I don’t know if you noticed, they have been received back home with much more fanfare and recognition than last year. I think they are finally getting the recognition they deserve in Italy and prehaps, Europe. No news to us, we, here in North America have loved them since the beginning!

I hope everyone saw them on “The Talk” yesterday. Did you see the shots of Carnie Wilson crying during their performance? That’s complement when another singer is so moved by your performance. Link http://bit.ly/1fISAse

Twitter, Tweets and Keeks:

Gianluca, as Kelly says he’s waxing philosophic. “”Good morning, listening to Frank” “That’s my face when I see You”,

“How are you doing today?” “Just be yourself, someone will find your uniquess attractive” “Many thoughts, many memories, just for you #imissyou #ilvolovers.”

Piero, retweeted Gianluca “Memories that will never die #imissyou #ilvolovers”

Ignazio, On the 17th “Going back home!!” On the 18th “How beautiful to spend time with your father around the city, I missed this!!!!”

Remember to look for Mn and Michele’s part 3 of Christmas in Italia.

Remember to watch The Disney Christmas Parade on Christmas day, featuring an appearance by Il Volo!

See Mundial and All Things l Volo for other photos and videos

Hopefully this is Il Volo’s real vacation with family and friends until after the new year! Enjoy guys!!!

‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE (MY) CHRISTMAS

December 15, 2013 mariecrider 39 Comments

‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the villa,
not a creature was stirring, not even Godzilla (couldn’t think of another rhyme)

When, what to my wondering eyes should I hear, (I take liberties)
but a song and three Boys, not tiny, but Dear! (lots of liberties)

I saw Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio too,
up to my rooftop, to my living room they flew!

They were dressed all in Alfani, from their head to their foot,
but their clothes were all tarnished, with ashes and soot.

A bundle of love they had in their pack,
and they looked just like heaven, when I calmly stared back!

His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry! (that really is a line!)
Piero’s glasses were there, the color of cherry! (that one’s not)

Gian said not a word but went straight to his work
and filled all my dreams with songs and a perk!

He’d left me Ignazio all covered with bows
and giving a nod up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his Fiat, to Piero gave a whistle,
and away they both flew, like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim as they drove out of site,
“Happy Christmas to all, I hope Marie doesn’t bite!”

Hi Everyone,

How is everyone doing? Have you all survived “The Boys” leaving to go home? I know we’ve been sad, but happy for them. There are still some taped appearances coming up. Mlla has been gracious enough to send us pictures from Assisi. Those “Little Things” help keep us in touch! Il Volo also has another concert to do in Scala on December 18th.

Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio seem really happy to be home even with a few concerts to do before Christmas. We’re hoping after that they get a little R&R until after New Years!!! We’ll just have to wait and see.

Twitters Tweets and Keeks:

Gianluca: “Hi everyone, how are you today? I just want to tell you that i’m thinking about you and that I can’t wait to start the journey again” “Having lunch with my family”

Piero: “Finally with my brother” with a picture of him with his brother, Francis. “In Assisi with my beautiful family and the beautiful surprise of the Minio family” Photo with all having a meal.

Ignazio: Well, no tweets, here’s a picture of him, in case you forget! (Hardly likely!!)

Please see the beautiful photos from Assisi, they look so handsome in their tuxedos!!

Enjoy Michele’s feature on Christmas in Italia.

Team Il Volo has an artical from Yahoo Music called “O Holy Night!! Il Volo sings Christmas classics A Cappella”

Remember these dates 12/18, appearance on “The Talk” 12/ 25, appearance on the Disney Parade on ABC. There is still another christmas concert in a Basilica in Scala on 12/18, we’ll get you more information on that as we get it.

Though we miss them, it is so good to see and hear how happy they are to be with family, enjoy Guys, have fun!!
