The guys have been on the GO, but fear not we have NOT lost track of one minute of them as they serenade themselves from one part of Italy to another!
Starting with Roccaraso, Italy…a town in central Italy in the province of L’Aquila in the Abruzzo region…a mere 85 miles from Gianluca’s home town of Montepagano….next on to Turin which is way up north in the Piedmont area, then landing in the lovely town of Bologna where Michele and Barbara are from.  You can almost hear every note they are singing or feel every ounce of joy they are expressing when you look at these pictures.
~Roccaraso~
Backdrop for rehearsal in progress.
Looks big enough to be a football field!I’m just sure he is thinking of Marie!
Some pictures need no words.
A gift from artist Domenico Di Cienzo…”we artisans” takes flight.
~Turin~
What a set! Â Absolute elegance and class.
~Bologna~
On the road brotherly love and support.
And how adorable is that little wave from Gianluca?
And the Notte Magica lingers…until we see you again.
Â
Piero and Gianluca  enjoy watching Ignazio sing his part.  They still do this after all the years of performing together.  How endearing is that?
One can never hear this magnificent song too many times.
Here, for your pleasure and better understanding, are a few Il Volo songs with English lyrics.
This is my all time favorite Il Volo number:
My newest Fav:
One of “the worlds” favorites:
The “greatest love” song for many of us:
I really wanted to give you Nessun Dorma, but couldn’t find an Il Volo English translation.  However, here it is by a man our Boys regret they never met.  Luciano Pavarotti died in 2007.  Our Guys would have been 11 or 12 then.  Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio wouldn’t have heard of each other back then either and never would have thought of the words Il and Volo connected to them. They couldn’t possibly have dreamed of the fame they someday would achieve:
He would have loved our Guys.
English lyrics, all but one, beautifully sung in Italian by three stupendously talented young men.  We are so lucky to know them.
~Marie
Here are three poems I wrote about Il Volo. Â I hope they are worthy of the Flight Crew. Â They are Senryu (a type of haiku), so it will be a format not familiar to some of our readers. ~Sandi
Il Volo
Three Italian guys   attentive, humorous, and kind    once boys…now men
Gian, Igna, Pero   exquisite voices    smooth, lyric, strong
Velvet, silk, brocade   voices…    like ribbons entwined
           ~~~
Come in and share the love of life, friends and Il Volo!
