ARC of the Treasure Coast Transports Guests to Italy at 23rd Annual “Evening of Entertainment: Una Notte A Roma”
The ARC of the Treasure Coast captured the romance, flavor, and timeless magic of Rome,
Italy during its 23rd Annual Evening of Entertainment: Una Notte A Roma, held Saturday, April 18, at the elegant Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa.
The unforgettable evening reached its pinnacle with the presentation of the prestigious Rembrandt Award
to longtime supporters John and Irene Flora. Awarded annually, the Rembrandt Award honors individuals whose extraordinary commitment to the ARC’s mission, empowering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities goes above and beyond. For more than two decades, the Floras have generously sponsored and championed the Evening of Entertainment, leaving a lasting impact on the organization and those it serves.
Guests were warmly welcomed by emcee Kelli Lightbourne, Mrs. Florida and Mrs. USA, who set the tone for an enchanting night. The audience was treated to captivating performances by Lorianna Colozzo and Franco Corso, who brought classic Italian songs and duets to life. A show‑stopping surprise delighted attendees when three talented young women from the ARC joined Lorianna on stage for a joyful rendition of “That’s Amore!”, earning a standing ovation and hearts full of pride.
The evening’s success was made possible through the generous support of premier sponsors, including Flora Fine Foods, Orvino Wine Imports, Boar’s Head, Treasure Coast, Indian River, Palm Beach, Showcase and Silver Star Provisions, Dick Busto and Pam Minelli, Publix Supermarket Charities, Jordon Dynamics, Park Shore Drug, Capstone IT, Ferreira Construction, Florida Insurance, Trust, Publix, and First Citizens Bank.
Beyond glamour and entertainment, Una Notte A Roma serves a powerful purpose.
