Particularly popular in Naples and southern Italy, these charms have roots in ancient beliefs connecting animal horns with fertility, strength, and abundance. Worn as jewelry, the cornetto is believed to protect its wearer from the malocchio (evil eye), a curse brought on by another person’s envy or jealousy. Traditionally fashioned in red coral or gold, cornetti have been worn and exchanged as protective talismans for centuries, and remain popular in Italy today. This early 20th-century example is made of 18k gold and set with a small blue sapphire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItalian cornetto charm, also known as a cornicello or corno, is a traditional amulet shaped like a twisted animal horn or chili pepper.
