Laziali nel Mondo
Newsletter
November 2008
A warm welcome to the
Laziali nel Mondo Newsletter!
First of all, we would like to
thank all of you for your interest
in and support of an association
that wants to keep the beautiful
Italian heritage alive. Whether
you are Italian, or someone who
loves everything about Italy, this
LNM association welcomes you with
open arms. Your participation in
our events means a lot and we hope
that, if you are not yet a member,
you soon will be for we want to do
everything that we can to meet
your interests and needs.
This newsletter is to keep
you updated on our events and
activities. In this letter we will
review the year’s events to date
and inform you of the activities
to look forward to!
The Year’s Events in Review:
November: A Toast to Italy
featured an exclusive dinner experience
prepared by Chef Enzo Mantova from
Posta Fibreno, Italy.
February:
Our successful New Year started
with our annual Carnevale
held at the Glen Sander’s
Restaurant, featuring the Good
Times band. Everyone had a
fantastic time and you can view
pictures of this spectacular event
on our website.
March:
Laziali nel Mondo at the Opera:
Puccini’s
La Tosca at
Proctors. Quite an extraordinary
performance!
March:
A
bus trip was organized for us to
see the Greco-Roman
exhibit at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York. This was a
wonderful trip and, due to popular
demand, we may go there again this
year. There is just so much to see
at this museum! The Italian art
exhibits alone are incredible!!
July and August:
we had a tremendous enrollment of
over 86 students for our highly
successful Italian
Language Summer Camp for Children.
Students enjoyed learning
Italian and doing cultural
activities.
August we had our Annual Picnic
which featured a pig-roast that
was free for our members in
appreciation for all of their
support. The picnic was held at
Grafton Park, Troy, NY and we had
a terrific turnout! There were
games for children and a bocce
tournament that contestants were
quite serious about winning!
November 9th 2008:
we
went on a Bus trip to the
Magnanini Winery and Restaurant in
Wallkill, NY. This was sold out
immediately! The wines, 6 course
meal
and entertainment by the Carozza
Brothers were absolutely
wonderful! We all must still be
full from the delicious food that
we ate!
December 7th 2008:
Our annual Children's Italian
Christmas Party was held at the
Rexford Firehouse, Rexford, NY. To
the children's delight, a special
visit was made by Santa Claus and
La Befana! Santa and La Befana
were thrilled to find cookies,
pizza, salad, beverages and snacks
(the snacks and beverages were
donated by Price Chopper) for
everyone to enjoy. A special
thanks to our DJ Bob and to all
the wonderful Laziali nel Mondo
elves that helped organize and
make the event a success.

Speaking of our website, we
are excited to offer you three new
features! Every month, Maurizio De
Pillis, a private instructor of
Italian and a journalist for
cooking magazines, will be
presenting the following: 1.
L’Italiano … a monthly review of
Italian grammar. 2. Vino e Cucina
… a recipe of the month from
different regions of Italy. 3.
Roma Oggi … a monthly article on
areas and events in Roma!
Talk a look also at our newly
revised Links section. Several new
additions to note include our
Italian Word of the Day and our
member Kathy Moehler’s interactive
Italian language section.
In addition, check our
Italian Heritage Cookbook section
of our website. As a fund raiser,
we are gathering authentic Italian
recipes that will be showcased in
a cookbook that will be a tribute
to all of those who lovingly
taught us to cook Italian!!!
A SPECIAL NOTE: One of the goals of
LNM is to encourage the teaching
of Italian. A special note of
appreciation goes to the students,
administration, faculty, staff and
community of Saratoga Springs: due
to all of your interest and
support, for the first time ever
in the history of Saratoga
Springs, Conversational Italian is
now being taught at the High
School!!!!!!
Grazie mille a tutti!
