This is the moment a witch on a flying broomstick soared above Piazza Navona in Rome.

Footage shows Befana descending from the sky with the help of a fire department ladder, sharing gifts, treats, and countless smiles with onlookers on Monday, January 6.

A legendary figure in Italian folklore, Befana is celebrated during Epiphany, a holiday that marks the visit of the Three Kings to the newborn Jesus.

Often depicted as an old, kind-hearted witch, she delivers gifts to well-behaved children and coal to those who have misbehaved.
