You are studying Italian in Florence, and one evening in late June you pass by Piazza Santa Croce.

In the square you can still see the steps that were used for the Calcio Storico games. Strange, you think, the final was on June 24, why they have not removed anything? Among other things, the square is so beautiful and all this iron does not allow to take great photos of the church. You try to ask in a nearby bar and a very surprised waiter, responds: “But how, you know nothing !? In July “Il Volo” will have a concert!! You prentend to understood not to make a bad impression. “Il Volo”? The name tells you something, but you can not remember.

At night when you get home you prepare yourself for dinner with your “Florentine mother” the lady who rented you the room. Laura, that´s he name, is an intelligent woman, in her sixties, always up to date on what is happening in the city. You ask, perhaps she knows this group.

“Of course! Why you don´t know” Il Volo “? It is an Italian musical group, composed of three young guys: Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca, two tenors and a baritone. They sing Italian and international songsclassical tradition with modern arrangements and also, pop songs in classic style. They have had a great success in Italy and have even won the San Remo Festival in 2015. They are very talented with a young approach and their style and their voices give a classic touch to modern songs. Their success is transversal, from teenagers to grandmothers, passing by all generations. Especially they have been more successful abroad than in Italy. On July the first they presented in concert in Piazza Santa Croce in homage to the famous Three Tenors, Carreras, Domingo and Pavarotti, with the extraordinary participation of its “Maestro Placido Domingo”.

Intrigued? … Pop songs in classic style? … Why not? The music, the scene of Santa Croce, the Florentine warm summer night, …… created a magical night!
