In the newspaper of Bologna, IL RESTO DEL CARLINO, this article was published.
In the first picture you see our boys and Torpedine, together with another guy named Dave Monaco.
Dave Monaco will participate in the selections on December 15 to be admitted to Sanremo. These days in several posts the boys have supported Dave’s candidacy, asking everyone to give preference by voting for this guy.
I will translate the most important points for you.
The boys speak…
“It’s the big news of our professional life.
Together with our manager Michele Torpedine, we have created a record company, which will develop and give an opportunity to the future stars of the Italian song.
The authentic one, the one that looks at tradition, our roots, melody and beautiful singing, but covering it with a contemporary feeling, which allows us to reach such a vast audience.”
“………………we are particularly proud of having decreased the age of opera lovers, which in Italy had always been considered the patrimony of a very adult aged and elitist public, that habitually frequent the traditional theaters. We managed to achieve this by mixing theclassical repertoire with our songs, showing that the most beautiful romances are truly timeless and can excite, seduce and make people dream, like a pop song.”
“We are now engaged in the production of a very young tenor who will participate in the selection of” Sarà Sanremo,” with the song L’ETERNITA ‘ PER CHI SA VOLARE, on December 15th on RAI 1.”
To the question …. and your new record ?? The boys answer like this…
“We will publish it in 2018 and will amaze fans, we are convinced, because it will be very different from the previous ones”.
What do you say about all this? Beautiful gesture from the boys really!
Last curiosity, Dave Monaco was born in Brescia !!
I‘d first like to give a big Grazie Mille to Jane and Daniela, who are keeping this site going right now. I can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work finding and writing articles. What a dynamic duo! 🙂
Thank you to All About Il Volo, I saw this plug on Instagram that the guys are promoting the Sara’ Sanremo special where you can vote for your favorite artist that will be on the Sanremo 2018. Dave Monaco, is from Michele Torpedine MT Opera & Blues and the guys mention that he will be on this show.
I actually have it set to record on my AT&T cable on the RAI1 channel. It starts at 7:30p – 10:15p on Friday, Dec 15, 2018. I can’t quite get if the guys are actually going to appear on the show or not. I don’t think so, but maybe we can find some new talent that we like? 🙂
Here are a few You Tube videos I found of Dave Monaco. He’s not our guys, but he’s not bad. His voice sounds a little forced to me. Where our guys open their mouths and the sound just flows out, it seems he has to work a little harder…. This first video here does not have Dave Monaco on it though, odd…but there are some interesting singers and friends of Il Volo on here, like Lorenza Fragolo and Francesco Renga – the one who wrote L’amore si muove. (just fyi… there are little You Tube ads interspersed in between the artists on this video…) It says he won back in 2005, but I guess you can enter as much as you want? Wouldn’t it be awesome if the guys entered again and won a few years from now? 🙂 If you watch this video, it’s amazing to see how simple and classy our guys were, compared to what’s out there now!
Up next is their concert in Mexico for Ferrero Rocher – the Golden Symphony! Looks like they did a sampling of Notte Magica, and Latin favorites!
Enjoy!
Come in and share the love of life, friends and Il Volo!
