After years of involvement with the club of the same name (ADLI), I am no longer associated with the organization; but, I continue this site which I personally created in 2000 for dissemination of cultural,heritage and language (LILL)information of interest to the many people who subscribed to this site.

ADLI (club) is an Italian Culture appreciation and preservation group formed 1996 by Joe Paglione in Burlington County, NJ. Presently (July 2006)some 500 members. "Una Serata Italiana" (Dinner/meeting/program) held LAST Tuesday of each Month at Lamberti's MODO Milano on Rt.38, Mt.Holly, NJ.

If you are interested in the Amici Club you may go to the new site
www.amicidellalinguaitaliana.org. Language classes are still available weekly, for beginner and advanced students.

Feel free to go to the LINKS section here (left side) where you will find BOOKMARKS to picture sites of many previous EVENTS.

On October 27, 2002 ADLI presented a PUBLIC event called "UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH LIDIA BASTIANICH", a great success. We enjoyed Lidia's company all day and then put her in a stretch LIMO to return to her home.

IN 2003 Italian House Party Radio Host DON GIOVANNI was a special guest as we enjoyed a very large Porchetta.

On May 23, 2004 another milestone with 2004 PRIMAVERA MUSICALE EXTRAVAGANZA with almost 700 attending. Eight great acts of Italian Culture via music. MC was the great "Uncle Floyd" Vivino with brilliance and hilarious Italian oriented comedy. In 2005 we entertained the Musumeci family at Scampagnata (Picnic)who were one of the eight act.

On October 30, 2005 Amici presented "CONCERTO ITALIANO" a Benefit Concert. Acts included Tenor Frank Tenaglia, a Sinatra Impersonator, I Paesani folklore troupe and "Uncle Floyd" Vivino.
April 2006 ADLI celebrated it's 10th nniversary at a GALA.
