6 January: Befana

On the 6.th of January comes from the sea the Befana (an old lady carrying toys for the children).
La befana la va in palo
col vestito de velo
co’ le scarpe de carton
la la balar benon

In Marano people speak “Maranese” language, a special dialect which differs from the ones spoken in Veneto because all terminations of words end with the vocal “o”.
