La Vigna exists as an ongoing chronicle of our collective experience, compiling, recording, and preserving the rich cultural heritage our Italian immigrant ancestors brought with them when they came to this country.
It seeks to record and preserve for posterity the positive contributions to our communities by these original Italian immigrants, and those of their descendants.
We hope to help trace the lineage of our collective families through anecdotal and historical writings, which will help family members share information, emotions, and the diversity of the human experience in our remembered past and to comment on and share stories of life as it now unfolds before us and our children. We wish to create a positive climate to encourage and nurture subsequent generations to celebrate and preserve the inheritance of their familiar origins.
Lastly, we strive to be a catalyst to fan the flames of desire for us all to communicate more often and sincerely, and to gather together at least once every year to celebrate life and its wondrous changes together as a living community.

A new web site has grown off the vine....
After a few months of work and a lot of meetings the staff at lavignaonline.com with the help of the La Vigna Editorial staff have come up with a web site that we hope you all can enjoy and find useful and fun to use.
All the back issues are in the Backissue page, in the La Cucina section you can find the recipes that have been published in La Vigna, all our Publications can be viewed on the Publication page, also the Photo Gallery is back with pictures of the past picnics. And new to the website is the Backissue Search page where you can search by Title or Author or Genre or Year or all four, your search results will then be listed with a link to the issue the article you are looking for is in.
So how do you get access to the site..sign up for an account at no charge and then check your e-mail for a confirmation link and away you go.
We plan on adding a lot more features as time moves on. We hope you will come back often and add your touches to the web site...
Enjoy the new site and please if you have any suggestions let us know.
