Would you ever think of combining opera and pop music to come up with a new style?

These guys did, and the experiment worked perfectly well thanks to their talent.

Il Volo (“The Flight”) is a music trio that came to life in 2010, after its members competed individually in the TV song contest  “Ti lascio una canzone”.

Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca were only teenagers when they performed as solo artists and impressed both the jury and the audience with their powerful voices. One of the creators of the show suggested to put them together and mentor them and that is how the trio’s career began, progressing with each song.

This year, they were awarded the first prize as best performers at the Sanremo Festival, which is a famous music festival broadcasted annually by RAI.

Their song “Grande Amore” was chosen to represent Italy at the Eurovision song contest, where it earned the 3^rd position.

Want to know what the song is about? Watch the video and improve your Italian! 😉

Nothing better than a good Sunday brunch in our Italian House! 😉

I am glad you appreciated all the yummy food on the table – ranging from eggs & bacon to our traditional Christmas cake, Panettone.

Grazie everyone for coming, eating and listening to Micheal Bublé’s Christmas songs with us 😀

Thank you everybody!

The Italian Movie Night was a great opportunity for students and members of the Italian community of Colorado College to get to know each other…

…while enjoying Italian snacks.

Then, of course, it was a perfect chance to watch a good movie. 🙂

Ciao!

Due vere pizzaiole!

Gabbie and Maddie, your pizzas were simply delicious – you’re a great team both in Itailan class and in the kitchen!
You spoiled us with different kinds of pizza (mushrooms, prosciutto and arugola) and just as we thought it couldn’t be better, you prepared a dessert pizza with nutella and marshmallows 😉

Can’t wait until the next cooking night with you! And thank you for participating in our Grande Pizzata!

Ragazzi, get ready for our next event…

It’s finally time for PIZZA!

Thanks to our awesome chefs Gabbie & Maddie, we will enjoy this classic Italian dish tomorrow at 7 pm in the Italian House lounge.

Come grab your slice(s) and BUON APPETITO!

My first time as a yoga class “leader” was awesome thanks to you guys!

After some stretching and various yoga poses (for each of which we found a suitable translation in both Italian and Japanese), Nutella and cookies were well-deserved! While we recovered from the physical efforts, Mami (the Japanese CPC) presented the differences between the Japanese definition of “beauty” and the Italian one. Thank you for joining us for sport and snacks!:) Alla prossima!
