Naples is often associated with the sea, at sunshine, at the pizza and the warmth of people, but let's not forget about the collective imagination and of the beliefs typical of the popular culture that are now intrinsic to the everyday life Of every citizen.
.
These include the neapolitan superstition is featured in the thinking, of ways of doing and acting in the Neapolitan reality.
.
"To be superstitious is to be ignorant, but not to be ignorant brings bad luck." - Eduardo De Filippo. ( neapolitan playwright )
.
The most important amulet is the CURNICIELLO
Perhaps the most famous, even symbolically, is "'o curniciello": tradition dictates that the classic horn from the characteristic red color o coral, should be given as a gift in order to fully fulfill its function. Specifically, the giver should prick the palm of the hand Of those who received it with the tip of the horn , "Only after this RITUAL the horn has been activated" . From this moment on the "corno" can do his job properly .
.
When you can use your CURNICIELLO ?
As the old Neapolitan tradtion when you think there are negative people around you.....you must stroke your Horn, in order to receive the "magic protection".
.
The horn's origins go back a long way
The horn comes from the ancient Phallic symbols ( greek/roman era) then important to cultures as symbols of potency, of the capacity to cause germination . It regarded as a talisman of fecundity and prosperity, which could keep apart from evil influences. In Naples very often you can find a "corniciello" at the main entrance of every home / shop / restaurant /bar to keep away the evil eye . In my case i have a many "cornicello" at the entrace of my home..........
.
Where you can buy the curniciello ?
Via San Gregorio Armeno
.
My last TIPS
I suggest you being at Capodichino airport at least 3 hours before your plane's departure.
