Los Angeles 2014 Il VoloOggi è Lunedì e sono ancora contenta per molte cose :) E non così tanto per altre! La vita è così, un giorno bello e un altro non proprio. Ma in tutto questo siamo più che vincitori (ricordate?) perchè abbiamo imparato qualcosa.

Questa settimana ho imparato ad essere paziente (in tutti i sensi). A rispettare i limiti del mio corpo e della salute. Ho imparato a non arrabbiarmi subito, ad essere tollerante con la mancanza di intelligenza di alcune persone. E a non dare spazio agli artisti mediocri :)

* Il regalo per questo Lunedì è una delle nostre foto inedite del concerto del 7 Giugno 2014 a Los Angeles nel meraviglioso Greek Theater.

Los Angeles 2014 Il VoloIt is Monday and I am still in love with many things 🙂 And not so much with many others! Life is like this, one day wonderful, other day not really nice. But in all of this we are more than winners (remember?) because we can learn.

This week I learnt to be patient (in all senses). To respect the limits of my body and health. To be late on been angry, to have tolerance with the lack of intelligence of some people. And to not give a stage to poor artists 🙂

* the Monday gift is one of our unreleased photos of the Los Angeles concert in June 7, 2014 at the amazing Greek Theater.

Il Volo links and news for Feb 9, 2014

Radio BocconiSanremo is buzzing! All the eyes are turning to there since yesterday and number of sources of information increase by hundreds. It is time to select and be moderated on publish and share.

Too much information is synonymous of misinformation. In this sense we all have to choose what to publish. Often the urge to publish, the will to be the first to post a picture, a link makes us forget to do a simple check: this information is new or we are repeating the same information from another source? this source is reliable and better than the last? this text, photo, video has good quality? this information will add something relevant to the event that we’re covering?

So I recommend: let’s chose carefully what publish, mainly on sites, instagram or facebook. Twitter can accept more ‘spam’ because it is easy to filter. We here will be very selective, not all the links, the focus is the information, the link is the way to know more, to check.

But… let’s go!

TV Sorrisi e Canzoni - Sanremo 2015In time of bets, and Il Volo is on the first place…, I bet that you were missing this post. Our links and news always come early in my morning, like 7:00 here or 10:00 Italy… But now things changed here, end of vacations, new schedule for 2015, my new year is beginning and it seems will not be an easy one. So, I had to take some decisions about the site and my commitment here.

All About Il Volo will be even more selective and a little more slow, not worrying with time, focusing on what is more important. Not all the links here and quick, only the best or those who brings really news. The others I will tweet when I can, as I did today on my intervals.
