Il Volo Professional ~~ NEW ALBUM!! and Other News

“The last surprise for fans was the news, escaped during the radio interview with RTL 102.5, that after the tour The flight will begin to prepare an album of unreleased songs so you just have to enjoy this tour and wait.”
As if the North American Tour approaching is not exciting enough, we have something else to look forward to. The most exciting part is that this is UNRELEASED songs, meaning new and never heard before. Could this be songs they have written themselves? Could this be songs written for them? Either way, I’m feeling Grammy in the near future! What do you think?

Radio City Music Hall says:
“Get ready! Just a couple more weeks until Il Volo head to Radio City for one unforgettable night!
Will you be there?!”
But first up is Easton, PA on March 2nd at the State Theatre!


IL VOLO ON “THE TODAY SHOW”

OFF STAGE

As we end summer and the weather starts cooling down (for most everyone), I thought it would be fun to step back and take a look together at summer in Il Volo land! I’m sure you have seen many of these photos before, but, really, can you not get enough?
Santo Domingo – Piero: “Enjoying Caribbean vibe”

Santo Domingo – Look at the beautiful palm trees and beautiful blue sky? If anyone sees anything else that needs to be pointed out, please feel free to do so.


…and a one and a two…GERONIMO!

Gianluca summed it up when they had finally settled down after their tour completed: “Abruzzo. La mia terra, la mia luce” (Translated: Abruzzo, my land, my light)


(Look closely and that’s me waving my arms in the sea looking for help! Okay, maybe not)




Who didn’t enjoy watching this video of Ignazio over and over (and over and over) – A man and his dog!

The following pictures are of Igny and Piero who decided to vacation together with family in Taormina.

Look at that beautiful sea and pool. Wait! What is that?


They just love eating at BamBar in Taormina, Sicily. Doesn’t that look refreshing for a hot summer day? The dessert looks good, too!


Just like a man and his dog, there’s nothing like a man with his horse!

…and he fishes, too!

…and he paints, too! Their talents are endless!

Such grace – such form!

Piero on waterski. Such skill!
Piero wrote: “ask me why do i love home…this is why”


Love that jet skiing!



I hope you enjoyed summer. So much to still look forward to as they go on tour in 2017. It’s right around the corner.
I know there are more pictures but I only used pictures posted from Piero, Ignazio, and Gianluca’s Twitter/Instagram/Facebook pages. Credit goes to these three lovelies.

When last I wrote, we left off was in Miami. Now for Part 2 of the North American tour!! Enjoy!
After their fun in Miami, we next catch up with them in Fort Myers.


In case you didn’t notice, that empty chair on the right was mine. I had to get up to take the picture. (WHAT? You don’t believe me?)
Ignazio, Ignazio – where for art thou Ignazio? Here he is!
Basketball in Atlanta.
It’s great that they had the opportunity to get out for some fun.

Heading to New Orleans


Does anyone else wish they were on that bus? Just me?
Gym time in New Orleans.

Welcome to Texas!!

On to Denver
Hanging out on the bus sporting their new Il Volo Logo T-Shirts (and never without their cellphones). Again, I ask, anyone want to be on that bus. It’s ok – shout it out!!

LAS VEGAS!!!!

They attended an event here. Anyone know what it was? Um – Oh yeah – FAN FAIRE!!!
Last stop – California here we come!
Santa Monica


Just playing around (literally)

Piero says Hollywood is always a great place to perform. I absolutely agree. Must have seen Soonie while they were there. Notice Piero’s buzz cut on the sides?

Getting in some exercise in Santa Monica. Love this!

Gianluca loves California. It truly is a beautiful state and it certainly agrees with them.

Alas, the North American tour comes to an end. Until we meet again!
Next stop – South America!
Il Volo – Off Stage
Friends,
We talk about Il Volo when they are on tour (Il Volo Professional). There has been some feedback about what Il Volo is doing when they’re not on stage. Welcome to Off Stage!
As many of you may remember, we had a column titled “In Case You Missed It” by our beloved friend Linda Snyder. Since that was Linda’s column, I want to keep it Linda’s, which is why this column was renamed.
When I was asked to do this, it gave me a funny feeling but at the same time felt so honored. I only hope that I can walk in my dear friend’s shoes. I miss you, girl!!

In case anyone here didn’t know, Il Volo has been on tour since January. WHAT?? Oh come on, you knew! Though they have quite a busy schedule with back to back concerts, they did have some time for play. I know you all have seen these pictures, but, really! Can we tire of seeing them again?
They started their 2016 tour in Italy in January. I was able to come up with these lovely photos:
Italians love to eat!




And who can forget these shots when they were promoting for MatchlessLondon. Okay, so this was actually work and not play, but these photos are among my favorites.
Wearing the Matchless London Star Wars capsule collection and taking a tour of the exclusive presentation at Pitti Uomo!

Italy tour ends.
WELCOME TO NORTH AMERICA!!

Canada, Northeast U.S. and Midwest U.S. in February? For the life of me, I cannot figure out why there was little to no outdoor play.

Yet, there was one brave soul.

They did get to go to a hockey game while in Canada.![]()
(INSERT VIDEO FROM PIERO INSTAGRAM)
They also got to celebrate Gianluca’s birthday while in Boston.

If you can’t go outside, then what can we do indoors? Of course! Gym time!
Canada
Gianluca even has his Momma gymmin’ in Nashville!
.

I know it’s an old picture but I feel like he’s been left out…so just because.

I love the camaraderie they all have with each other. Did I mention Italians love to eat? This was taken at Papa Joe’s in Pennsylvania.

Now, I don’t know what poor Patrizio did to deserve this (Il Volo’s bass player)

Enough of the cold!! It’s time to hit Florida full of Warmth and Sunshine! HELLO!
Jacksonville
The night before the Miami Concert Il Volo joined the Estefan’s for Julio Estefan’s birthday!
