World Ambassador of the City of Roseto degli Abruzzo | Il Volo Flight Crew ~Share The Love

Hi, Everyone!

We just had a day to celebrate Ignazio’s amazing accomplishment –being named in the annals of “Memory” alums for his contribution to that song’s history (Yay!) Today, we recap last week’s celebrations in Gianluca’s honor.

In an email from Mary B., she summarized it all very succinctly with a few interesting items of history as well:

“Recently Gianluca experienced what the Abruzzo newspaper, The Messenger, described as “a week of fire.”
First the young Rosetan was named, “Ambassador of Abruzzo 2015” by the city of Roseto. The award for this honor was a statue depicting the warrior Capistrano, a well known historical figure. The original statue was found buried in the soil by a farmer while working in his field, and is now on display in the National Archaeological Museum of the Abruzzi in Chieti.

Gianluca was also given an award by the publishers of the Eldos News, who named him “World Ambassador of the city of Roseto degli Abruzzo.” This award was a plaque in gold and silver made by the prominent goldsmith, Roberto Talamonti. Piero and Ignazio were also included in this event, being named Honorary Citizens of Roseto and receiving awards printed on parchment and roses made of silver.”

Enjoy the photos/videos/articles below, and since all good things come in threes, I’m going to guess that there will be another reason to celebrate the amazing guys soon! 😉
