In Italy, children typically hang their stockings on the night of January 5th, known as the eve of the Epiphany. This tradition is associated with La Befana, a kind old witch who brings gifts to children. She fills the stockings with sweets and small presents for those who have been good, while leaving coal for the naughty ones. The following day, January 6th, is celebrated as the Feast of the Epiphany.
