What an unforgettable week it has been! The Folkloric Group Pro Loco of the Pollino di Castrovillari brought the true heart and spirit of Italy to New Jersey with their music, dance, and joy. Every performance was filled with energy, laughter, and friendship.

We are so grateful for the memories made and the new friendships formed. Wishing our friends a safe trip home to Italy, you’ll always have family here in Ocean County! Until we meet again… arrivederci and grazie! 💚🤍❤️ 🇮🇹
