It is also referred as the hand gesture used to ward off the evil known as the "Italian horn" or "corno" , a hand with index and little finger extended which was adopted as the Heavy Metal symbol in the eighties and is commonly misidentified as the "sign of the devil" or "devil horns" which it is not. In fact, it has been around since ancient times as a way to protect oneself from the evil eye. You could also wear charms in the shape of the gesture traditionally made of red coral, which is thought to bring good luck and protection.
