EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Twelfth Night in Rome, the Procession of La Befana" transports us to a vibrant and festive scene in 19th century Italy. The image captures the essence of Italian culture and tradition during this special occasion. In the heart of Rome, crowds gather to witness the grand procession of La Befana, an iconic figure deeply rooted in Italian folklore. As twilight descends upon the city, lanterns illuminate the streets as if casting a magical spell over all who are present. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate Twelfth Night. This cherished ceremony marks the end of Christmas festivities and welcomes Epiphany with open arms. Italians young and old eagerly await La Befana's arrival on her broomstick, ready to distribute gifts or coal depending on their behavior throughout the year. Amidst a sea of faces adorned with joyous expressions, we catch glimpses of colorful costumes representing different regions across Italy. The Italian flag proudly waves above them all, symbolizing unity and national pride. As we gaze at this enchanting print by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that traditions have always held immense importance in shaping cultural identity. It serves as a timeless reminder that no matter where we come from or what language we speak, celebrations like these bring communities closer together while honoring their unique heritage.
