International Music & CultureLa Befana vien di notteLa Befana is an old lady who brings toys to children in parts of Italy on Epiphany night. The Epiphany is when The Three Kings brought gifts to baby Jesus. The legend is that on their way to deliver presents to Jesus, the Three Kings came across La Befana. They asked her to come with them, but she refused, saying she had too much housework to do. She later realized it had been wrong not to go with them. So she ran off with her broom in search of the Kings, bearing her own presents for the baby Jesus. But she never caught up to them. It's said that La Befana is still searching for the baby Jesus. On Epiphany night, Befana goes around leaving presents for children, in imitation of the Three Wise men bringing gifts to Jesus. Befana looks like a friendly witch, with a mole on her face and in tattered clothes. She flies on a broom and goes down chimneys to deliver toys for the girls and boys.

Qual è la filastrocca della Befana?La Befana è la vecchina generosa del fantastico mondo dei bambini. Viaggia su una scopa volante, scende giù dal camino, porta doni ai bimbi buoni e ai monelli porta il carbone.
Chi ha scritto la Befana vien di notte?Le origini, scritto da Nicola Guaglianone e Menotti, con un cast stellare composto tra gli altri da Monica Bellucci, Fabio De Luigi e Zoe Massenti, arriva in libreria un divertentissimo romanzo che ci racconta come la Befana è diventata… la Befana.
Come si chiama veramente la Befana?Era dea a cui si regalavano le strenne (i doni di fine anno) per favorire la fortuna dell'anno nuovo. Bastrina sarebbe l'erede della dea Strenia, celebrata all'inizio dell'anno, quando i romani si scambiavano appunto le strenne di buon auspicio per il nuovo anno (i "nostri" regali di Natale).
