Madonna has shared a series of rare family photos and videos in celebration of her dad Silvio's 90th birthday -- and with Father's Day just around the corner, papa can preach about the touching moments all he'd like!
Madge posted a montage clip showing scenes from her and her kids' visit with her father, Silvio Ciccone, at his vineyard in Michigan while having fun in the sun, opening presents, and cutting a giant cake.

Madonna, who will turn 63 in August, posed in some of the photos with five of her children – Lourdes Leon, 24, David Banda, 15, Mercy James, 15, and twins Stella and Estere Ciccone, 8 (her son Rocco Ritchie, 20 was not pictured) – as the family celebrated Silvio's big day.
"My father is a survivor growing up as an Italian Immigrant in the US and living thru many traumas but always working hard for everything he had," Madonna captioned the post. "He taught me the importance of hard work and earning one’s way in life.............Again I thank you. 🙏🏼 It was so special to spend your 90th birthday with you and my children in your vineyard."
Before their visit to the Ciccone Vineyard & Winery, the singer posted a clip of her "O.G." dad Silvio leading her band and dancers in a backstage prayer before one of their concerts on Madonna's 2004 Re-Invention World Tour. "Heavenly Father (Dad) Thank you for giving me life... And all other Blessings you’ve bestowed upon me," she captioned the video.
Silvio, also known as Tony, is a first-generation Italian-American whose parents immigrated to Pennsylvania from Pacentro, Italy. An engineer by trade, but with winemaking in the family genes, Silvio carried on the Ciccone family tradition and in 1995 purchased the land the vineyard now resides on. His son Mario and daughter Paula now run the operation while Silvio gets to enjoy all of the fruits of his years of labor.
