Being born and raised in the South of Italy, Antonio grew up with legends, superstitions and mystical stories, and his grandma, Nonna Vittoria, believes strongly in the ‘Malocchio’. To avoid the underestimated ‘Malocchio effects’ behind each problem, Antonio created a pair of magic and powerful glasses. The design of the glasses is very substantial and sculptural. They are decorated with little changing charms, which represent the eyes of people looking at you. They have also enamelled coral-red details in order to cast out bad luck.
