Spring has sprung, and one of the first signs of it in our community is the annual dance hosted by the Lucchesi nel Mondo. Slated for April 12 at the Mazzini Verdi Club in Franklin Park, the event kicks off with cocktails at 6:30 p.m. and dinner at 7:30, with music and entertainment provided by Francesco Marino. The menu includes risotto al fungo, spaghetti alla Bolognese, cotolette alla Milanese, chicken Vesuvio, red and white wine, and gelato for dessert. Tickets are $55 per person with a cash bar. For reservations, call Maria Banducci at 630-443-8722 or Elena Onesti at 773-908-1004.
