Good Luck on Friday the 17th

A Friday the 13th is generally regarded as an unlucky day in many english speaking countries but not here in Italy. 13 is seen as a lucky number. The number to avoid is 17 and Friday the 17th is to be avoided at all costs. Good luck charms and talisman are to be worn that day to keep the bad influences at bay.

Somebody forgot to tell the two members of Strabacco, Mirco Muccini and Jack Nannani this important fact. They organised a concert at Altana yesterday Friday the 17th.



The enterprising women at the Altana turned the whole thing on its head and instead presented a whole evening based around good luck. The menu included, Horseshoe Prosciutto, Four Leaf Clover Crostate and Red Horn Potato... red horns being good luck here.... In fact most of the customers last night seemed to be wearing red horns in the shape of red peppers. Many, many more images and the full story here
