It's January 6th, the Feast of the Epiphany, and the last day of the Christmas/New Year festivities in Italy. Outside, the sky is a blank light grey and it's raining periodically; we are content to putter around the house.
Children around the country will have awoken to discover that stockings hung over the fireplace last night have been filled with small gifts (or black "coal" -- colored lump sugar). These occurrences will be attributed to the "Bufana," an ugly old woman variously described as a relative of Santa Claus or as a tangential character in the Nativity saga.
About Us
