The story: The cornicello, in the shape of a horn or chili pepper, is a traditional talisman of southern Italy, particularly Naples. Heir to ancient amulets, it symbolizes fertility, vitality and strength. Its protective form is believed to ward off the evil eye and attract good luck. Wearing a cornicello is like invoking prosperity, protection, and good fortune.
