Among the food and sweet stands, discover what the Befana would like to give you, if pastries or coal, obviously it depends on your behaviour during the year!
The legend says the day that Jesus showed himself to the world, an old lady (Befana) led the Magi to his hut, but later she lost them so she decided to spent the rest of the night giving sweets to all the children. For this reason, in the market you can find many stands selling sweets. In Rome all the children hang stockings by windows in advance to receive sweets or coal.
