Supercharge your luck with these horns!

#traveldiaries 📍Address: Cosmos The activation ritual for the “lucky horn” (known as the “cornicello” or “corno”) is a symbolic tradition deeply rooted in Neapolitan culture, often performed to attract good fortune and ward off the evil eye. In Naples, a particularly special version of this ritual can be done at the historic Cosmos shop. During the ritual, the horn—typically red and shaped like a twisted chili pepper—is imbued with energy and good luck through a series of steps. These may involve a blessing, symbolic gestures, and the recitation of phrases invoking protection and prosperity. The ritual often includes passing the horn through incense smoke or touching it to sacred elements, enhancing its power as a talisman for success, fertility, and protection from harm.
