3/10Capri Bell
The Capri bell has a truly suggestive history. An ancient legend tells of an orphaned shepherd boy who only owned one sheep. While he was gathering flowers, he lost sight of her. Hearing the call of a bell, he followed the ringing sound hoping to find it again but St. Michael appeared to him, who gave him the bell he wore on his chest, as a symbol of protection from all danger. Today the myth has it that you have to give the bell – or even buy it for yourself – to a special person, to make them realize, at every stroke, a wish. The Capri Bell artisan brand, in via Cristoforo Colombo, offers various models, from simple to enamelled ones to those embellished with rhinestones. Here in the gilded silver model, with the word Capri.
