The 'Orologio' (clock tower) dates from 1496-99 and on most days retains its fame as the first digital clock (from the mid 1800s) though on 6 January it reverts to its ancient form with the Procession of the Magi. The Magi accompany the arrival of 'la befana', the witch who, according to one version of the Italian legend, helped the Magi locate baby Jesus. This transformation of the 'Orologio' happens only twice a year so our timing was perfect.
