Story

According to legend, Befana visits children across Italy, filling their shoes with candy and treats if theyve been goodor leaving coal, or even a stick, if theyve misbehaved. As a house-proud visitor, she often sweeps the floor before she departs, symbolically sweeping away the hardships of the year. Families traditionally leave a bit of food and wine for her arrival.
