il gobbo
the hunchback
The hunchback, also known as "O Scartellato", is a popular figure in the Neapolitan tradition, it is said to bring good luck if you touch the hump. It is seen as a kind of walking amulet. Less known is that, in the Neapolitan tradition, the "scartellato" itself is a figure of good luck, a positive character, bearer of wealth and happiness, and has its own precise iconography: black cylinder and jacket, red bow tie and white shirt.

Für wenig geld so herumzulaufen und sich darzustellen nun auch eine art des lebens, denke jedes land hat so typen von menschen die sich gerne darstellen - ich kann es nur teilweisse verstehen lg luciaMulazzani Anna Maria 06/05/2020 21:28
Orrimo scatto!!Adele D. Oliver 06/05/2020 20:57
a great portrait of this luck bringing man ... it looks likehe is selling lottery tickets ... good luck emblems on his
hat and vest ... and I can't help but think that his
hump is fake to attract customers (but of course, I must
be wrong) ....
warm regards,
Adele
