About This Piece

Vintage Design

"Corno Vesuvio" is a striking terracotta sculpture that embodies the rich cultural heritage and vibrant artistic tradition of Naples. This piece, measuring 48x13x15 cm, is hand-crafted and meticulously painted using third-fire colors, a technique that adds depth and intensity to its vivid hues.

The "Corno Napoletano," or Neapolitan horn, is a well-known symbol of luck and protection in Italian folklore, especially in Naples. Traditionally, these horns are believed to ward off the "evil eye" and bring good fortune to their owners. The shape and design of the horn have historical significance, tracing back to ancient times when they were used as talismans against malevolent forces.

This particular sculpture, the "Corno Vesuvio," takes inspiration from the iconic Mount Vesuvius, reflecting the powerful and dynamic energy of the volcano. The vibrant red and deep blue colors evoke the fiery lava and the serene sky, blending together in a harmonious yet dramatic representation.

This unique piece not only serves as a decorative object but also as a meaningful artifact, rich with symbolism and history. Perfect for collectors of fine art and enthusiasts of cultural artifacts, the "Corno Vesuvio" adds a touch of Neapolitan charm and a sense of protection to any space.
