The Corna
The Corna. Who knew? Can the Italians shed some light on this please? Personal histories, anecdotes, etc., anything involving anyone in the Dio family and their relationship with the Moloch would be appreciated.

I’ve heard lil Ronnie James claim he got it from his Grandmother, on the evil eye tip, in Sam Dunn’s doc ‘Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey’ (or was it on some VH1 shit…). Anyway, one can easily imagine that guy grabbing at any “fame straws” he can-

Interesting and informative stuff! I never knew it was used by Parilament/Funkadelic fans. Maybe that’s what you should do during “Flashlight.”

Dude the ‘cornuta’ sign is serious business in Italia. It means the person you are pointing at is a cuckold, ie his wife-girlfriend-other is cheating on him and he doesn’t realize it. In the north it comes across as a more generic kind of insult, but in the south it’ll get you in a fight. Ironic headbanging with the devil sign is not understood at all, the Italians just look at you like, “Who are you making the cornuta sign at? Better not be ME!”
