17
The number 17, according to Italian superstition, is very unlucky. Many other things are unlucky, or evil, such as peacocks, because of the "eye" upon their tail feathers, smybolising the "Evil Eye."The Evil Eye" is known in Italian as 'maccio'. The 'maccio' may be averted by wearing a charm called 'corno', or making the 'horn' sign upon the forehead.
