Very interesting. My great grandmother had a Corno. She was from Calabria, and I heard they're almost as bad as Sicilians when it comes to curses.PeterTimber wrote:Squiggy here are two. www.italyville.com/2009/01/italian-superstitions

There is an italian expression which says " tutto il mondo e casa" which means that there is no real difference between peoples and places where they live. =Peter=

Re: Italian superstitions
Could be. There is a song singed by Patty Pravo who's title is "Tutto il mondo è casa mia" but the proverb I always heard during my 50+ years in Italy is "Tutto il mondo è paese"

Re: Italian superstitions
From what country did you come from before being in Italy for 50+ years?
