Antique Italian "Il Gobbo" Lucky Mother of Pearl Charm book It's set with five pasteDATE: Victorian, c. 1860 Il Gobbo: The Italian Hunchback Charm of Good Luck Il Gobbo (the hunchback in Italian), has been one of Italys most beloved symbols of fortune for centuries and is thought to offer the same good luck and protection as the Italian horn charms! Il Gobbo was depicted as a man wearing a hat and suit, with a large spinal curvature that was considered a good omen! This lovely antique charm is modelled as (you guessed it) Il Gobbo.
