Urbania, a village in the province of Pesaro Urbino, transforms every year into a magical place to celebrate the Befana. From January 3rd to 6th, the village comes alive with the 28th Edition of the National Befana Festival, offering a unique experience for both adults and children. Amidst our sweet Marche hills, Urbania becomes the center of celebrations that beautifully close the Christmas holidays.
The Befana Festival has roots in ancient religious and pagan traditions. The word "Epiphany" comes from Greek and means "appearance" or "divine manifestation". This moment marks the closure of the past year, represented by the old lady bringing gifts, and the beginning of a new cycle.
Connected to the journey of the Three Wise Men and good luck rituals for the new year, the Befana blends spirituality and folklore in a unique celebration. Urbania, considered the "home of the Befana", perfectly embodies this tradition. The village streets are filled with stockings, sweets, and performances that tell the story of this beloved figure.
During the four days of festivities, Urbania transforms into a true Befana Village. At the center of the village, you'll find the Post Office and the Befana's House, where children can meet the old lady in person.
The Befana Bistro delights visitors with typical Marche dishes: from the famous Acqualagna truffle to the Urbania crostolo, accompanied by local wines and craft beers.
Among the main attractions are the world's longest stocking, measuring 70 meters, and the Befanas performing spectacular descents from bell towers and towers. Urbania transforms into a wonderland, with performances by stilt walkers, clowns, and street artists enchanting every corner of the village.
Urbania is not only the city of the Befana, but also a place rich in art and culture. The village is renowned for its Durantine ceramics, featured in exhibitions and collections in local museums such as the Ducal Palace and the Leonardi Diocesan Museum.
A unique experience awaits visitors in the Church of the Dead, where the famous mummies of Urbania are preserved, bearing witness to ancient funeral traditions. For art lovers, a visit to the Bramante Theater and the Ducal Park is a must, both symbols of the region's history.
