| This year's giglio looks phenomenal! I love number one capo Paul "Bo" Pennolino's choice of colors |

| Marching down Havemeyer Street |
 |
| Spinning the giglio |
 |
| A labor of love and devotion |
 |
| Newly promoted Lieutenant Mark Mascioli and Danny Vecchiano lend a hand |
 |
| The highlight of the day (IMO) was the "Double lift." The boat and giglio meet in front of OLMC Church to the tune of the "March of the wooden soldiers" |
 |
| I thought it was a nice touch to put the coat of arms of Nola on the sail |
 |
| The boat sets sail towards the giglio |
 |
| The paranza show tremendous strength and spirit |
