CORNICELLO REIMAGINED

​

I want to share with you  one of the most ancient neapolitan traditions: the cornicello (red horn-shaped talisman) which can be found hanging everywhere in the streets of Naples as a symbol of good luck and protection. This symbol was used  by ancient people during the Neolithic period as the bringer of good fortune as well as fertility.

This lucky charm is often  red in colour but below are my new interpretations.
