The residents and friends of Rocca Sorrentina celebrated Carnevale on earlier today with a costume contest and a dance. Everyone was masked (of course) and decked out in their finest and/or most clever costumes. If you want to see a full gallery of all of the costumes click here . There was so much ingenuity and glamour among the costumes it was difficult to select a winner, but when the votes were counted the best ladies' costume prize went to Tiamat Windstorm for her interpretation of a classical Greek or Roman sculpture.

The best men's costume winner was Lucerius Zeffirelli.

Following the contest the festivities moved to the Taverna plaza where there was much drink, dancing, and revelry - including a giant conga line.

I hated missing it...but the photos are ALMOST as good as being there would have been. Thanks for posting!

You haven't lived until you have danced to old Italian folk songs in an historically-attired conga line, while the moon sparkles on the waters of La Rocca!
