The Corno, also known as the Cornicello or Comicelli horn, is an Italian amulet shaped like a twisted horn or chili pepper. Its significance lies in its association with good luck, protection against the evil eye, and fertility.
The Corno's roots can be traced back to ancient Italy and the Roman Empire, where similar symbols were used to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.
Wearing or carrying a Corno remains a popular tradition in Italy, especially in southern regions, and it is often passed down through generations as a cherished talisman.
