Befana Market

Posted by Widhi (Rome, Italy) on 4 March 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

Christmas is an interesting time to visit Piazza Navona. For the whole of December until the 6th January of the following year, you can purchase the whole range of Roman festive items.

Sweets, candies, chestnuts, sugared apples, the famous torrone, liquorice and much more.

The Befana arrives on the 6th January. This is the day those children who have broken their promises or behaved naughtily receive a present of coal in a stocking. Or worse; onions, soot or garlic. :)
