The traditional song la befana is sung in aristos bar in barga vecchia

La Befana is a character in Italian folklore, similar to Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus.

The character may have originated in Rome, then spread as a tradition to peninsular Italy. Her name derives from the festival of Epiphany, and she visits all the children of Italy on the eve of 6 January to fill their socks with sweets if they are good or a lump of coal if they are bad. Being a good housekeeper, many say she will sweep the floor before she leaves. The child's family typically leaves a small glass of wine and a plate with a few morsels of food, often regional or local, for Befana.

She is usually portrayed as an old lady riding a broomstick through the air wearing a black shawl and is covered in soot because she enters the children's houses through the chimney.

She is often smiling and carries a bag or hamper filled with sweets, gifts, or both. source – wikipedia
