The Italian "cornicello" (little horn) is a popular amulet or talisman, often associated with Naples and southern Italy. It’s believed to have protective qualities, warding off the "evil eye" and bringing good luck to the wearer. It is shaped like a twisted horn and is typically made of materials such as coral, silver, or gold.
In Neapolitan folklore, the cornicello is thought to have ancient roots, tracing back to the worship of the Roman goddess Venus. It is often worn as a necklace or charm bracelet, and it is customary to give it as a gift to protect loved ones from negative energy or curses.
While the belief in the cornicello's protective powers is deeply rooted in Italian culture, it has also become a symbol of Italian heritage and is often worn by people of Italian descent around the world.
