Celebrating Martedì Grasso

Focaccia Barese

On the eve of Lent, we celebrated the end of our indulgent Carnevale season with a special Martedì Grasso—Fat Tuesday—celebration. The evening was filled with cheerful excess—a luxurious homemade feast followed by lively games and lots of laughter late into the night.

As is our tradition, since we forgo meat, dairy, and eggs during the Great Fast, our final meal was a conscious feast of all three: rich dishes, generous servings, and no holding back.

Now, feeling satisfied and thankful, we turn our thoughts toward the desert. Through fasting, abstinence, and penitence, we begin the long journey toward the glory of Christ’s Resurrection at Easter. We wish you a blessed and meaningful Lent. ~ Giovanni di Napoli
