12. Ephiphany

The Buzz -- Every January, residents of Rome observe the Roman Catholic Epiphany. One notable event held each year is the Epiphany Toy Fair located in the city's Piazza Navona, where children and adults alike make merry, meant to encourage Befana, an old lady who's rumored to bring toys to the nice and coal to the naughty. The day is celebrated by giving gifts to children.
