The Italian kitchen witch is La Befana, a beloved folklore figure who flies on a broomstick and visits homes on Epiphany Eve (January 5th). Similar to northern European traditions, she acts as a protective, helpful crone, often depicted with a broom, apron, and kerchief, bringing candy to good children and "coal" to others.
Appearance: She is typically portrayed as an old woman with a long nose, grey hair covered by a kerchief, and wearing a long skirt with an apron, sometimes holding a broom or a bag of candy.
Cultural Significance: La Befana is considered a positive figure of good luck and household protection, often hung in kitchens as a decoration to ward off bad luck.
