Piazza Navona is one of the most beautiful square or piazza of Rome with the outstanding Fountain of the Four River by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and the Church of Saint Agnes in Agone by Borromini.
Every year on this square the Christmas Fair market runs from December 8 to the Feast of the Epiphany, on January 6th.
On the stands there are booths with toys, Christmas Decorations, figures for Christmas nativity scenes, candies, cakes,
sweets, chestnuts, sugared apples, the famous torrone, liquorice and much more.

The Befana arrives on the 6th January.
This is the day those children who have broken their promises or behaved naughtily receive coal in a stocking.
All Romans come here... like my kids who enjoyed themselves!!!
