| One of the Befana on Piazza Navona |
On January 6th, Italian children of all ages celebrate “il giorno della Befana”. La Befana, the benevolent witch who comes riding a flying broomstick, is a national holiday in Italy. She represents the end of the holiday season for millions of children, who are going back to school from their Christmas holidays the following day.
Today Piazza Navona is full of people to celebrate the end of the festivities.
If you want some sweets today don't forget to sing her song:
La Befana vien di notte
con le scarpe tutte rotte
col vestito alla romana:
Viva viva la Befana!
con le scarpe tutte rotte
col vestito alla romana:
Viva viva la Befana!
