The cornicello, or Italian horn, is a traditional amulet in Italian culture symbolizing protection, strength, and fertility. Often worn to ward off the "evil eye" or "malocchio," the cornicello is a popular symbol for safeguarding against negativity and bad luck. The red cornicello, in particular, holds added significance for protection and fertility. Additionally, the mano cornuto (horned hand gesture) shares similar roots in Italian superstition. Traditionally, cornicellos are most powerful when gifted, made from materials like silver, gold, or coral, and worn daily for continuous protection.
