I saw this on Facebook yesterday and thought it couldn’t be more appropriate. So I am borrowing and sharing it here – thanks to our Il Volo sister Christine Peganto.
While we are all patiently waiting, let’s revisit my favorite French song “Tous Les Visages de L’amour” which translates to “All the faces of love”. Oh yes…the faces of Gianluca, Piero, and Ignazio…which we love…so much!!!
The video was taken on 6/20 at the Elgin concert. I can’t believe it’s been five months already! I MISS you guys (Keep calm Elaine 😕)!!!
Do you believe in signs? Sometimes I do, and I want to believe in them now. I have been reading the National Italian American Foundation’s (NIAF) Fall 2014 Ambassador magazine. I regularily read the magazine but this time my eyes were immediately drawn to the advertisement below. Like many of you, I am an Italian American and I believe my unusual interest in the advertisement this time is a sign to do something that a few of my family members and I have talked about doing – determine our eligibility for Italian dual citizenship. I am going to put this on my bucket list – it’s time to start the eligibility process. I can’t think of anything cooler than to have the same passport as Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, can you?
Have any of you undertaken this? If so, please let me know what to expect. Grazie! Michele
I’m going to Italy! No I’m not. I just tell myself that every morning. What? It’s a good way to start my day. Now, you’re probably wondering why I don’t really go.
Well, it’s because there isn’t enough critical information provided to the tourist. Don’t the Italians want visitors? I mean they seem like friendly people, but when I read a brochure I only see what they want me to see. Their websites only tell you things like:
– What to see
– What to do
– Where to stay
– Money conversion
– Common signs for Stop! Danger! and Hospital. (Yawn)
But not the things you really NEED to know, such as..
– If I go there will Italian men really pinch my butt? (I don’t want to go there with unreal expectations.)
– If I pinch theirs will they be mad?
– How many calories are there in a liter of Gelato?
– Do deaf Italians use sign language? Why?
– If Buonanotte is goodnight and Buongiorno is good morning shouldn’t Goodbye be Buonederci instead of Arrivederci? (Do they know they got that wrong?)
– Do Italians trash their computers when the “A” “O” and “I” wear out?
– How much spaghetti can an American Tourist eat and still fit in her seat on the flight home?
– Are there other men walking around who look and sing like Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero?
if so..
– Where do I cash in my return ticket?
– If Italians kiss on both cheeks, when they get mad do they say “Kiss my__, Kiss my__!” ?
– What are the most recent laws on stalking in Abruzzo?
– Is there such a thing as obtaining a restraining order in Sicily?
Now, aren’t those things more important to know than the current monetary exchange rate? Until the Italian Tourism Bureau answers the real questions I’ll have to stay home.
Or… if you would all like to send me there to find these answers, I will go. You know I’m always willing to bite the bullet for my Crew!
Because of your questions and input, board suggestions and my own investigation, here is the truth as we know it; The Latin Italian Music Group is a fairly new organization with little detail given about the outcome of this contest. We have no indication this has been sanctioned by the Il Volo Camp.
We were hoping to just have fun with the process but with still a month to go and the stress the voting is taking we don’t want anyone to feel obligated to continue.
Please use your own discretion. Of course, if we hear more we will let you know.
For the Love of our Guys, Marie and the Board
Come in and share the love of life, friends and Il Volo!
