Hurricane, Hurricane, Go Away! (and don’t come back any other day!)

55 Comments

Ciao a Tutti!

The city of Houston and the rest of Texas USA, is still reeling from the after-effects of Harvey, and yet Irma is heading toward the US now, already devastating much of the Caribbean.  The guys have safely landed in Mexico, with Gian posting “clouds.”  Katia is now heading toward the southern east coast of Mexico and a week from now, they are heading to Santo Domingo!  We pray that all in the paths of these hurricanes (I know there must be many parents and grandparents in the southern states, as well as fans) are kept safe, go to shelters, and heed the warnings.  After Harvey, I don’t think anyone is taking chances now.  I spoke with my mom, who is on the central Gulf Coast of Florida and I asked her if she was packing.  She said yes!   I was a bit surprised, but she said she was ready to move to a safer place; they were all waiting to see where the wind blew.

I created a little picture below, depicting the guys singing their hearts out and blowing away the hurricanes from all of their tour area, so no concerts are cancelled.  There would not be many things more devastating than to survive the hurricane, but have the concert cancelled! (I’m sure the Boston fans are still very saddened…) (forgive me if I am a little off on the actual locations in Mexico, but I think I’m pretty close!)

Sing strong and loud and fiercer than these storms!  We know you can!  Blow them back to sea where they belong!  Amen.

Il Volo, These Wonderful Guys – Daniela

(As translated by Bing ~ Marie)

We often talk about how Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio are people with a heart of gold, we follow ’em know very well but many people do not believe their availability towards others.

I found this video that made the day on July 8 while they were in Mexico.

Their drummer told him that there was a girl named Simona who admire them so much and they sent this video from Mexico to Simona. In Italy it was night but the amazement of Simon and he was great. Simona is a girl with down syndrome.

We detail everything they say so anyone who does not understand the Italian spoken, you can translate. 

G = Hello Simon, how are you? We are Gianluca and Piero, Ignatius is sleeping over there on the other side

P = Simonetta bella, (Ignatius) is intended for concert

G = Salvatore (Salvatore Corazza drummer) told us that you’re a great musician and you write some good pieces.

P = Listen Simona we hear great love, love moves

G = and maybe one day we will meet and we will sing together

P = absolutely, absolutely, a kiss

G = Ciao bella, we’re sending you a kiss, Hello beautiful.

Simona has posted on his facebook message with this dedication:

Unexpected surprises in the middle of the night, I still can’t believe it. A huge thrill to know that from Mexico flight thought of me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are the swinging.

***************************

What can we say? I’m really swinging, special people, if Simon hadn’t posted the message would remain private. This isn’t the first time they have surprises like this. Are golden boys.

More from Daniela:

I found these videos of the concert in Florence, perhaps some of you have not yet seen, are very well filmed.

And…

Maybe not all of you have seen this picture.

The newspaper the NATION appeared the pics of Florence, among the various photos of the spectators there was also this, the journalist wrote “public” (perhaps ninth knew who they were) but we who know them well we know we are Alessandra, elegant and mom and dad.

The attitude I would say there is a good relationship between Alessandra and Mrs Catherine.

I know many of you were able to meet them at various meet and greet and who have made a great impression.

Informed people here were told that Alexandra carried a ring with two diamonds. We know also that they left the same night after the concert, everyone in the car together, Alessandra, Ignatius and his parents, to avoid the fans stationed outside the hotel.

A lady present at the concert had the opportunity to chat with Ms Catherine telling him that was very beautiful Alessandra and Ms Catherine le replied “beautiful outside and beautiful inside“ that seems to me a nice compliment!!

I don’t think the news that you are separated to be true.

Maybe it was time to mislead because you should know that here there are fans very invasive even allow themselves to curse Alessandra.

This hurts a lot for Ignatius who in fact does not comment more on social but these fans posting malicious comments on Alessandra also profile for Gianluca.

Not even us fans that love them we can talk about them as we draw attention to this group that you definitely do not want the welfare of our children.

Gary Istok has warned us about this group of fanatics.

Do you think that even long ago a fan had put a new profile on facebook called “the NEW FLIGHT“ where the components were only Gianluca and Piero.

Amazing how the human stupidity reaches certain levels.

Have you heard of this? What do you think?

We know that our Il Volo guys love their fans–they show it in their interaction with them, both when performing and when off stage.  Piero says, “every time a new audience and new emotions I can’t wait to find out.  A smile, always, in my heart and in my mind.”

They seem to love the fans of every nation equally, generously bestowing smiles, hugs and kisses to all who reach out to them.  We, in the USA, believe that they must love us a little more, since we were the first to embrace them when they were just starting their career.  But actually it seems to be the Mexican fans who really get their adrenaline  pumping due to the fan enthusiasm and participation.

Case in point:  see the DVD Mas Que Amor–one of the most endearing performances ever.

Remember the girls with the flashing red bows in their hair?  Their enthusiastic arm waving, participation in the songs, and the utter joy on their faces when gazing in adoration at the boys?  Their emotions were so contagious  that it had Gianluca leaping across the stage like a Mexican jumping bean, and Piero throwing kisses all around.  Ignazio, not usually the quiet one, showed his appreciation by smiling angelically.  I’m guessing that this year was no different.  The Mexican girls are CRAZY about these guys, and the fact that the concerts had to be postponed to the end of the tour due to weather conditions, no doubt made it all the more meaningful to them.

The guys seem to jump right into the Mexican culture, taking the roles of the Three Caballeros in stride.

One can just imagine Piero tossing his sombrero on the floor and going into an exciting performance of the Mexican Hat Dance.  We’ve seen him salsa, dance on the Italian version of Dancing With the Stars, and perform numerous other dance moves, so we would expect him to be totally comfortable with the Hat Dance.

And Ignazio would seem right at home throwing a serape over Walter and riding off into the sunset strumming a guitar and singing Cielito Lindo.

Gian, with his newfound excitement, would give new meaning to a rousing rendition of La Cucaracha.

image

Piero seems to have made a hit in his black sombrero with this lovely senorita.  He seems a bit unnerved by her ardent desire for a kiss, but knowing our Piero, we can be sure that  he could and would deliver.

image

Of course the guys tribute to Jose Jose at the Latin Billboard Awards in 2013 performing the beautiful El Triste had to have had further cemented the bond between them and the Mexican people.  That moving performance brought down the house. (And Gian’s blue suit didn’t hurt,either.)

image

This year’s concert shows them, true to their sweet and generous natures, showing their affection for children by bringing them up on the stage and including them in the fun.

We can’t close the book on the love story, “Mexico Loves Il Volo” without mentioning the concert in Puebla.  What an exuberant show– the excitement, the energy, the joy of that night.  Fans and the guys pulled out  all the stops and made it an ebullient close to a fabulous tour.

 

image

And so, as the Mexican tour comes to a close, we see the Three Caballeros making the flight back to their homeland with fond memories of their Mexican fans, and calling back, “Hasta la Vista, amigos.  Vaya con Dios, until we meet again.”
