Malocchio, often referred to as the "Evil Eye," is a belief in various cultures that certain individuals can cause harm or misfortune to others through a malevolent glare or envy. This concept is prevalent in Mediterranean regions, particularly in Italy and Greece, where it is thought that the envious gaze can lead to illness, bad luck, or other negative outcomes. To protect against malocchio, people often use amulets or charms, such as the corna (horns) or the nazar (blue eye), which are believed to ward off the harmful effects. The practice of recognizing and countering malocchio reflects deep-rooted cultural beliefs about the power of envy and the importance of safeguarding oneself from negative energies.
