Traditionally, Streghe are believed to possess special powers, allowing them to heal, curse, or influence events. They are often depicted as wise women who use their knowledge of nature and the supernatural to help or harm others. In Italian culture, the concept of a Strega can vary widely, with some viewing them as benevolent figures while others see them as malevolent. The practice of Stregoneria, or witchcraft, is often linked to ancient traditions and rituals, emphasizing the connection between the Strega and the natural world.
