The photos you can find here depict an Italian tradition: the living presepe. Many villages (especially in southern Italy) each December set up a life-size rapresentation of presepe in which real people play the parts of the several traditional figures of nativity and old trades. Click on the thumbnails for larger photos. Koan, AFAIK, speaks English if you want to leave her a comment.

A little digging on that geek site turns up some pretty funny party pictures.

And for those who can read Italian, her "Tennici con la patata" is an extremely funny essay (well, especially if you are a woman). ;->
