She is older than Santa Claus, scarier than the Grinch, and she survived the Roman Empire, the Inquisition, and Fascism. This is the forensic history of the Befana.
In this deep dive, we excavate the stratigraphy of Italy's most mysterious holiday figure: The Befana. We trace her lineage from the Sabine Goddess Strenia and the Roman rituals of the Via Sacra, through the witch trials of the Middle Ages, and into the bureaucratic machinery of the Fascist OND in the 1930s.
We analyze the biology of the solstice, the chemistry of the "Sweet Coal," and the logistics of the "Befana Fascista." This is a story about how a culture uses folklore to survive poverty, war, and time itself.
