As we close this year’s feast of Maria Santissima Lauretana, here in Chicago and in our beautiful home town of Altavilla Milicia, we want to share a beautiful song and video in honor of our Blessed Mother. The lyrics are written by our dearest member Maria Galioto and the music and video produced by the amazing talent of Mr Joe Lo Cascio, our fellow paesano from Altavilla. We want to thank these two wonderful talents for sharing this beautiful piece with us.
