| Forza Napoli Sempre! |
In anticipation of Lent, we concluded our sybaritic Carnevale season with an edacious
Martedì Grasso (Fat Tuesday) celebration. The revelry culminated with a sumptuous repast and raucous Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Napoli UCL Watch Party.
Naturally, since we give up meat, dairy and eggs for Lent, our final meal before the Great Fast was a delicious glut of meat, dairy and egg courses. Partenope’s comfortable 2-0 away victory over "Die Adler" ("The Eagles") ensured us spirited partygoers an agita-free dinner.
Sated and happy, we now prepare for Christ’s Resurrection at Easter with fasting, abstinence, and penitence. We wish you all a blessed Lenten Season.
