La Befana is a nice old woman who flies on her broom stick every year on the night between the 5th and 6th of January, which is the Epiphany day, to bring presents to children. That is why she carries a big bag on her back full of sweets, which la Befana will use to fill the stockings children have left by their chimney.
Those children, who have behaved in the past year, will find sweets and chocolate in their stocking on the Epiphany day. Those who didn't behave will also get a few lumps of coal.
However, everyone loves La Befana. Some people imagine La Befana with white hair, others with black hair but, a part from that, everybody agrees she has a long crooked nose, broken shoes and a patched dress.
