The Italian horn, also called a cornu, cornicello, or Devilâs horn, is worn mainly to protect against the âevil eyeâ. Historically, it is linked to Celtic and Druid beliefs and to worship of the Moon Goddess in ancient Italy. Ironically, the horn is often worn with a cross to give it âextra power.â.
