AN INTENSE DECEMBER 2024 by Daniela

The week just gone by was also full of commitments and the presence of Il Volo and as always I proceed in order.
We knew that Il Volo was live on German television and announced that he was leaving the next day to come to the U.S. probably to promote their tour and also the new PBS special.
In fact, on December 2nd Il Volo spoke live on the television show DESPIERTA AMERICA, here is the video, unfortunately of poor quality.
I will translate for you in broad terms the most important things that were said:
After the presentation and initial greetings, the presenter wishes the kids Christmas greetings and asks for details of the new AD ASTRA international edition album.
Gianluca explains that it is a series of unreleased songs with the addition of some special songs such as IL GLADIATORE and then says that they will go on tour in the US. starting from March 2025.
The presenter remembers the first time he interviewed them on Despierta America and he says that they were really kids and Ignazio adds that they are now 30 years old and he just got married.
Then Piero explains their projects which will last 2 years, starting from the US tour. and then a tour of South America will follow in October
At the end of the interview they sang CAPOLAVORO!!

Of course they sponsored the new international version Ad Astra CD which I think you have all received by now.
I already have mine too and what about the last 5 songs added compared to the version of Ad Astra I already had? I’m enthusiastic about it, there are 5 songs that add great value to the set that I already liked!!

What can I say about the dedication made in memory of Barbara, it moved me! ❤️🙏

But then the new single TRA LE ONDE (Between the Waves) was also released.

“Hello everyone, we are Il Volo
Our new single TRA LE ONDE
It is available on all platforms.”
I liked it a lot, I liked the very meaningful words and it is certainly a radio song, but the problem is always that the radio is unlikely to play it.

It is certainly not the song whose musicality strikes you at first listening, but I must recognize the great work especially in the translated text that I propose to you.
Calm sky and full moon
And down here we are
Distracted passengers
Scattered dreams and muscles
Every day is a swing
Luckily you’re here
That forgive my mistakes
And you push me forward
And ahead of us
What is it?
Rain and clear
And the desire to lose
The heart in the waves, waves, waves
To feel the wind on your face
Without ever stopping laughing
Together in the waves, waves, waves
Life is like a stream
It passes beneath us
That we remain standing in the waves
Between barriers and high walls
Luckily you’re here
Teach me how to skip them
Or to fall and get back up
And ahead of us
What is it?
Rain and clear
And the desire to lose
The heart in the waves, waves, waves
To feel the wind on your face
Without ever stopping laughing
Together in the waves, waves, waves
Life is like a stream
It passes beneath us
That we remain standing
Between a destiny that brings us
To run, then change course
The sun ahead and my shadow next to yours
The heart in the waves, waves, waves
And don’t stop laughing
Together in the waves, waves, waves
Life is like a stream
It passes beneath us
That we remain standing in the waves
Il Volo also sent this beautiful message to the students of Florida Atlantic University.

And then the fun promotion on WTTW Chicago PBS!! 😁😁

Meanwhile here in Italy on Saturday 7 December on Canale 5 the repeat of the second concert at the Verona Arena this year was broadcast.
Needless to say, they achieved maximum audiences!!
From the whole concert I propose this beautiful song:
LA VITA. ❤️
CLICK HERE to view the video
The words of this song are truly splendid:
“Ah, life, what is more true in the world and we almost never realize it.”
“It is not possible to waste this life in vain.
Ah life, there is nothing more beautiful than life, and perhaps many people don’t know it.”
And we hope, given the current times, that many people realize that:
“there is nothing more beautiful in the world than life”
Meanwhile, the dates of the concerts to be held next year in Europe are increasing, here is the update:
Finally, on December 8th in Los Angeles there was Andrea Bocelli’s concert and among the numerous guests there was also Il Volo who sang THE GLADIATOR.

and then in a duet with Bocelli himself, they sang O SOLE MIO.

What an evening, fantastic, Bocelli has a very long high performance, but I think Il Volo also made a great impression!!
And here are some moments from the rehearsal evening and from backstage.
Rehearsals
With Zucchero Fornaciari!
With the actresses Katerine Kelly Lang and Ashley Aubra
With Pia Toscano she sang with Il Volo in the first PBS special  in 2012 🥰

I would say that even in these first 10 days of December there hasn’t been a moment of respite, every day there is new news that talks about them, our fantastic trio: IL VOLO!! ❤️❤️❤️
See you very soon: Daniela 🤗

Notte Magica – “They went Rio – de Janeiro!” September 28, 2017

nottemagica header

Ah, there go our boys again… to Rio!  Do you know there are over 100 songs that have been written about Rio de Janeiro?  According to Barry Manilow and many others, it’s the “hottest spot north of Havana!”  The guys enjoyed 5 awesome concerts in Brazil and it’s no wonder their Notte Magica CD/DVD won the highest award!  The crowds at their concerts certainly proved that point.  There were some beautiful pictures posted by Piero and Ercole of the Copa.

Thanks again to all owners of pictures and videos!

Here are your Meet/Greets!  Those are some brightly colored shirts at the end!

Piero, in suspenders?  Maybe Igna should give them a whirl?  🙂 

 

 

 

 

We leave you with one more review from South America – Chile!

We saw Ercole posting he was flying back to Italy, but it looks like Piero detoured to Miami, but where are the other two misteriosos?  Only Twitter and Instagram know… 🙂

Alessandra posted an adorable picture of Franz, waiting for his master’s arrival!franz  (Oh, yes, I can see the comments now…  lol)

Notte Magica – Brasilia! Curitiba/Sao Paolo – Sep 19 – 24, 2017

nottemagica header

The guys are quickly making their way now through South America with just 3 more concerts to go.  It is hard to believe and what events they have been through so far, earthquakes, just missing hurricanes, etc.  Things seemed to have settled down a bit, weather-wise since they actually got to South America.  We are certainly glad of that!

ercole sao paolo planeThe Latin crowd seems to be getting an all-around concert, kind of what I’d hoped for in the US – a little of this, a little of that, but as we all say, it doesn’t matter what they sing, it is awesome and never long enough!  However, they are getting to hear Volare, Canzone per Te, Il Mundo, Mas Que Amor, and maybe even a few others people haven’t shared.  Through these last few video clips, I think the guys are finally having fun again.  The clip from Il Mundo, reminds me of “old” Igna, where he was bouncing on his toes during the refrain.  Their voices just keep getting richer and richer.  Their tones continuously awesome.  Adding nuances here and there, just to keep it interesting!

Very special thanks to the AAIV group, who appeared to attend all of the concerts inercole audience sao paolo Brazil and uploading their clips to Instagram.  Also thanks to all owners of the videos and pictures and of course Ercole, Piero, and Gianluca, for always keeping us entertained.  🙂

I’d also like to welcome all the fans from the AAIV site, to enjoy our site.  Please forward to all of your friends!  🙂 

Enjoy!


OMG PICS!  (we of course do not have the group from Sep 24 because it is tonight’s concert)

My doctor said I should add more cardio to my exercise routine, do you think he would approve of this?  🙂 Picture3

Piero – looking up and down at life!

The picture was a little gift from the hotel….was Piero trying to be incognito?  🙂 

I think he might just have to retire that shirt….

Hi Everyone,

Time is sure flying, here we are in November already!!

Il Volo is in Brazil and will give 7 concerts there starting on November 5th. I thought you might enjoy a short history of the largest country in South America.

Brazil i/brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, is the largest country in both South America and the Latin American region. It is the world’s fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population. It is the largest Lusophone country in the world, and the only one in the Americas.

Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas region of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. Numerous archipelagos form part of Brazilian territory, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz. It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and occupies 47% of the continent of South America.

Brazil was a colony of Portugal beginning from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500, up until 1815, when it was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. The colonial bond was in fact broken several years earlier, in 1808, when the capital of the Portuguese colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, after French forces led by the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Portugal. Independence was achieved in 1822 with the formation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The country became a presidential republic in 1889, when a military coup d’état proclaimed the Republic, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to the ratification of the first constitution in 1824. Its current Constitution, formulated in 1988, defines Brazil as a federal republic. The Federation is formed by the union of the Federal District, the 26 States, and the 5,564 Municipalities.

The Brazilian economy is the world’s seventh largest by nominal GDP and the seventh largest by purchasing power parity, as of 2012. A member of the BRIC group, Brazil has one of the world’s fastest growing major economies, and its economic reforms have given the country new international recognition and influence. Brazil’s national development bank (BNDES) plays an important role for the country’s economic growth. It mostly depends on its own money and invests in big local firms. The bank’s goal is to promote economic growth as well as to preserve the environment and protection of local communities.[20] Brazil is a founding member of the United Nations, the G20, CPLP, Latin Union, the Organization of Ibero-American States, the Organization of American States, Mercosul and the Union of South American Nations. Brazil is one of 17 megadiverse countries, home to a variety of wildlife, natural environments, and extensive natural resources in a variety of protected habitats. Brazil is considered a middle power in international affairs, and has been identified as an emerging power.

Twitters, Tweets and Keeks:

Il Volo tweeted yesterday. “2nd show at #GranRex is done!! and we had the surprise to receive the Golden award pf #Masqueamor from Universal Music Argentina! Thank you #Argentina!!”

Gianluca tweeted to an Australian fan that they would be in Australia next year! He tweeted also ” Finally in Brazil, I must learn to speak Portuguese!!”

Piero tweeted 10 hrs ago, “Sao paulo…#Brazil!”

Ignazio has not tweeted, hopefully he’s laying around the pool, getting some rays!!!!

See Team Il Volo for 2 articles “Il Volo receives gold in Argentina (2nd show)” They received a gold disc for their “Mas Que Amor” album from Universal Music Argentina. See also “Il Volo, we are humble and simple”

All Things Il Volo has some good photos, see the one of Piero’s dad cooking!

It’s been an eventful few days for “Our Guys”, concerts, awards and even a little illness. Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca seem to have taken everything in stride as the professionals they are!! We are happy to see they have a few days off, they deserve them!!

We love you Il Volo, have fun and be well!!

Linda
