Legend of the Italian Cornu
The cornu, cornuto, or cornicello refer to a long, gently twisted horn-shaped Italian amulet of ancient origin. Cornicelli are usually carved out of red coral or made of gold or silver, and were worn as a symbol in ancient times when the moon goddess was worshipped, before the rise of Christianity in Europe, to give protection from the evil eye and to ward off evil. Other superstitions link it to sexual power and good luck. It is often worn with a cross, perhaps for double protection or luck! The Italian cornu is no longer used for protection today. Rather, it may be used as a good luck charm, a fashion statement or a symbol of pride in one's Italian heritage.
Congratulations John Zino
