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. 
Forza Napoli Sempre!
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.
