While traditionally Italians have let La Befana (read her story here) bring holiday gifts on the feast of Epiphany, January 6th, Santa Claus has recently become popular.
On this Photo Friday, Susan Sanders shows us how the Santa craze has manifested itself in Naples. Taken on San Gregorio Armeno, the street lined with stores and stalls selling creche figures, this the photo shows an orchestra of Santas playing merrily while the shopkeeper to whom they belong has his own fun playing games on his cell phone.
