'O curniciello

The S925 stamped silver charm “ ' O curniciello ” is an original accessory that you can purchase to personalize your Red Thread of Destiny.

It is a traditional amulet considered to be a good omen since the Neolithic period due to its phallic shape which makes it an emblem of fertility, virility and physical strength .

In turn, the color red is a symbol of strength because it recalls blood and fire. Myth connects the lucky horn to the figure of Amalthea, Zeus's nurse.

But do you know when a red horn really brings good luck? It is said that for the Neapolitan horn to be effective, it must meet certain specific requirements: it must be red , crooked , pointed , and received as a gift . Above all, once broken, it cannot be repaired in any way to avoid losing its special protective power.

A horn never breaks without a reason, and if it does, it's to protect you from imminent danger. By breaking, it fulfills its purpose, bringing upon itself the ill-fated fate that should have befallen you!

The talisman par excellence, ' O curniciello contro la lucca' (The Red Thread of Destiny) couldn't be missing from the Filo Rosso del Destino collection. And don't forget to prick the person to whom you'll give this ancient good luck charm on the palm of their left hand with your curniciello.
