Epiphany Day is organized, as the tradition suggests,in all the Italian cities and in the single villages which normally for thisoccasion organize -mainly in open wide spaces- high piles made of wood, strawand scrubs which can reach even 10-15 metres, and the on Epiphanys eve whichis the night between the 5th and the 6th of January- onthe top of which is put the Befana, and they set fire to the pile.

The entertainment organized by the City of Rome for thetourists and citizens comprehends also the exhibition of some wire dancers and jugglers, who willwarm the freezing January climate with their shows, that will evoke the circusatmosphere loved by the children; to entertain the adult audience there will bethe shows of a group of jugglers, and some artisans, who will be seen in actionin the square. The amazing Piazza Navona background will then be theplace where you can have fun listening to music, watching shows and acrobaticexercises, and where children will have the opportunity to play and have funthanks to the fairy merry-go-round which is near Quattro Fiumi Fountain. TheBefana celebration day can become also an excellent pretext to visit theItalian capital, which is unique during Christmas time, thanks to the manyChristmas decorations which deck out Roman streets. /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Tabella normale";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-qformat:yes;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt;mso-para-margin-top:0cm;mso-para-margin-right:0cm;mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0cm;line-height:115%;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;}
