“Everyone thinks that the horn brings good luck but few know that is an amulet for protection. Its origin is very, very ancient, its form, a bit curved has to recall the phallus of the Greek-Roman God Priapus, God of abundance and prosperity. The red colour reminds us of a red pepper but it is not a red pepper and its crown, put on the top is put there in honour of the Queen of Naples and it symbolizes divinity, power and wealth.”

“The horn has to be made from a porous material that can be broken and can absorb the negativity, made by hands by Neapolitan artisans, machine-made horns or gold horns have no worth even if their material might seem more precious, the true symbol of Naples, the horn, has to be terracotta and made by hand.”
