Marcello-dell'Aquila
Macro Mondays - Superstition
The lucky horn (or Neapolitan horn) has very ancient origins: it comes from amulets shaped like horns used by the ancient Romans and Greeks as symbols of strength, fertility, and protection against the evil eye. The horn represents the power and vitality of animals, so it was seen as a sign of life energy and good fortune. Over time, especially in Naples, it became a traditional good-luck charm against envy and bad luck.
