Historical Curiosities
The horn, also called "cornicello" or "Neapolitan horn", is a very common symbol of protection in southern Italy, especially in Naples.
The history of the lucky horn has roots in antiquity. In Neolithic times, animal horns were believed to symbolise physical strength and, above all, good luck. Cave dwellers hung animal horns above the entrance to their shelters as emblems of prosperity and power; they thus became symbols of luck and good fortune.
In ancient Rome, the horn, a symbol of fertility and strength, was often associated with the god of nature Priapus, considered a protective deity. The tradition of the horn has been maintained over time, and is still widely used as a talisman today.
