Fontanelle Cemetery

Italy has many superstitious customs. You can also find them in the Fontanelle cemetery. You can hear a fascinating story about this superstition in the broadcast of Internal Kitchen with Ine Roox (see the link More info). Neapolitans see a mass grave on the cimitero delle Fontanelle as an opportunity. You can polish and decorate those skulls. Poke flowers through the eye sockets, fill the nostrils with pleading notes. Who knows, the soul of the deceased may want to put in a good word for you in the Hereafter. Or he helps predict the winning numbers of the Neapolitan lottery. It is something different from the Smorfia Napoletana, a kind of telephone book with pictures. Suppose you dreamed about a cat last night, then you can look up in Smorfia which number the picture of a cat corresponds to and that is a lucky number in the Neapolitan lottery.
