La Befana, an old woman with a broom, marks the end of the Christmas season on January 6th. She brings sweets or coal to children, symbolizing the past year's deeds and hopes for the new one.
The Befana Regatta, a quirky Venetian rowing race, sees rowers dressed as Befana speeding under the Rialto Bridge, competing for victory while a giant stocking hangs above - a fun, must-see event blending folklore and sport!
