	Mano Cornuto [The Satanic Salute]
		Mano means "hand" and corno means "horn." The charm represents a hand gesture in which the index and little fingers are extended while the middle and ring fingers are curled into the palm.
		The mano cornuto shown here is a modern pewter reproduction of a 19th century silver amulet, probably from the area around Naples, where such charms were extremely popular.
		Whether or not this is the case, the mano cornuto is still a popular gesture made by Italian men to protect their genitalia from the evil eye.

		The profession most likely to receive the insult cornuto is above all the football referee, since it is customary among Italians (and, it could be argued, all countries with organized sports) to blame one's favourite football team's defeat on to an (allegedly) incompetent, corrupt or otherwise unfit referee.
		The spelling "mano cornuto" is erroneous, the grammatical gender of the word mano (meaning "hand") is actually feminine (la mano), and the expression should therefore be "mano cornuta", to be pronounced /ma'no kornu'ta/.
