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 talismans 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.
The evening passed without mishap and Strabacco
played their set to an appreciative and lucky audience.
