Like many Mediterraneans, [[Maria and Nicola Elia|Maria Elia]] was an ardent believer in the malocchio, the Evil Eye.  Infants and the elderly were especially susceptible; intentionally or unintentionally if one were glanced at by a person afflicted with jealousy or other disreputable emotions, the victim of the malocchio would suffer sickness.  She would advise her children and grandchildren that a hand gesture, the manu cornuto, could ward off the malocchio, but this gesture was itself fraught with spiritual dangers.  Maria could diagnose the evil eye by noting if olive oil dripped in water took the form of an eye; and could cure it with recitation of prayers, confirmed when the oil no longer formed at the top of the bowl.  [http://www.luckymojo.com/evileye.html More information].
