Valentino's 40th Anniversary Party at Temecula, California,

July 19th, 2008 Photo Gallery

The photos below were taken at the home of Roy and Vera Sciortino where a party was held to commemorate and honor the 40 years

of service to Automobili Lamborghini by Valentino Balboni.  Everybody had a great time as the pictures illustrate. I took shots of

the photos that were posted on the back wall showing Valentino over his 40 years with the company. These were provided by the people

who were at the party.
