Neapolitans
supersticious belief in numbers and their power to influence
the future can be seen as an attempt to take destiny in your
own hands.
Naples has many neighbourhoods with small ricevitorie (gambling
offices) . The daily visitors don’t pick numbers ramdomly;
for them there is a direct link between the chosen numbers and their
attempt to change destiny.
Some play the same numbers a lifetime, because it has a special
meaning for them. Others play the numbers corresponding the death
dates of family members. And there are those who chose the happy
events in their lifes. They believe happiness will -once- be back.
documentary, 2005
