Il Volo Professional ~~ Il Volo Takes the Senate

Hey, Everyone!

With another Christmas here, The Guys have returned home and given another holiday performance–this time in their country’s Senate.  I would imagine that it was quite an honor, as they performed for the President of the Senate and many other important political figures.  They also performed in a matinee-type performance for several hundred children.

I’ve included pictures and articles about the event below, but to date, Rai has not published a full official video.  As and if I can find videos, I will add to this post, so keep looking.  🙂

“Il Volo is Coming to Town” ~ Flight Crew Author Anonymous

Here is a wonderful little song I’ll be humming for a while. The answer to the question in the second stanza is “ME!”   Of course I left the first part of her comment in!

Christmas Last Year in L.A.

Hi – I certainly do not want to infringe upon Marie’s beautiful poetry, but while we are all anxiously awaiting the next visit from our guys – to hopefully a town near us, I changed the words to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” to adapt to the ll Volo version… “Il Volo is Coming to Town…” Here is my version:

“Il Volo Is Coming To Town”

You better watch out! 
You better not cry! 
You better not pout! 
I’m telling you why. 
Il Volo is coming to town!

They’re planning their tour,
From coast to coast.
Gonna find out who loves them the most,
Il Volo is coming to town!

From town to town they’re singing
All of our favorite songs.
From Granada to Surrender
We all want to sing along!

Oh, you better watch out! 
You better not cry! 
You better not pout! 
I’m telling you why. 
Il Volo is coming to town!

Long musical interlude…

Piero, Gian, Ignazio
We love you all so much
Can’t wait until we see your smiles
Can’t wait to feel your touch!

Oh, you better watch out! 
You better not cry! 
You better not pout! 
I’m telling you why.

Il Volo is coming
Oh yes they are coming
Il Volo is coming to town!

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT……..2013 IN REVIEW

Report

Hi Everyone,

Well another year is almost over. What a year it has been, not only for Il  Volo, but for us adoring fans. Lets look back a little. In January and February we were panting for news of concert dates and Il volo appearances. We were frantically asking manangement for news, remember? In February we did celebrate Gianluca’s birthday and he sent out that sweet video, thanking his fans, remember? Finally in March we got news that Il Volo would be on tour in North America and that they were doing 2 PBS specials at the end of March in Miami, remember? There was a lot of scrambling for tickets because of the short notice, but Michele and Elaine (who did not know each other then) got tickets and came to Miami for the shows, remember? The Boys then hit South America for a promotional tour for over 3 months, remember? They did some TV here, like “Home and Family” and “Kelly and Michael”, remember? They went home for a short time and were back here in August to start Their North American Tour, remember?  We, who were lucky enough to go to their concerts (some, more than one!) shared our pictures and memories with everyone here (Piero jumping in the cab with Mary, Marie and Loretta in Detroit) remember? They hit South America running in October and and finished up here in December with TV performances and promotions for “Buon Natale” shown on PBS, remember?     They also snuck in an appearance and a song for the nationally televised Disney Christmas Parade, before they went home, remember? Il Volo appeared at the Mall of America and Mary B,  Allene and Jane had the opportunity to have a private meeting with them, remember? They finally left for home December 10th and did  concerts at 2 Bascilica’s in Italy, one of which was at The Bascilica of St Francis of Assisi, remember? Those are the highlights, I’m sure there are more. I can tell you this ,Il Volo did all of us proud, with their impecable professionalism and glorious voices. They met their fans with courtesy and love, they did lots of interviews and patiently answered all the same questions in English, Spanish and Italian with good humor, remember? They were simply IL VOLO, three special young men that we are so proud of for their soaring voices and unique personalities!! We all remember that!!!

Best memory of all? starting this site “Il Volo Flight Crew~Share The Love” at the beginning of August. We all never cease to be amazed how we took off, soaring like Il Volo and how all of you have made this site what it is today in 5 short months, incredible!!!!!

Twitters, Tweets and Keeks:            new york

We’ve had a good year here, sometimes we disagreed, sometimes we had little arguments but none of us ever wavered in our love for Ignazio, Piero and Gianluca. We have supported “Our Boys” and each other through thick and thin. We expressed our love and admiration and wandered all over the net to get any glimpse and hear any song.

To Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, we wish you a Happy, Healthy New Year. We wish you success and happiness wherever you travel to next year. Keep your families close and stay humble.

To all of you, Happy and Healthy 2014!!! I hope you haven’t missed much!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!                new year

THE LAMENT

OK Flight Crew, since the Boys left I’ve tried to keep it light and humorous, but
today I’m experiencing the honest emotions of the season. So, it is with a refrigerator
filled with ingredients for my share of Christmas dinner and love for my family
wrapped in red and green tissue paper under the tinsel, that I have to tell you all how
I truly feel.

a - christmas 13 JARED

Piero (12/16) “Today we’ll be back home!!”

Ignazio (12/18) “Going back home!!!! Sooooo excited!! Kisses”

Gianluca (12/11) “Ladies and Gentleman. I’m in Italy!”

THE LAMENT

You all went too far for me.
I can’t go across the sea.

I’m sad, so sad I want to weep,
but in my heart a place you’ll keep.

Ok, be home to rest and play
and love your families everyday.

I’ll be patient and wait, you’ll see.
Just please come back and sing to me.

~Marie
