from a quick look at the first image of "Napolitan gestures" at least money, stealing and wait a moment are still largely in use.
Horn sign that legend says RJ Dio introduced by simply flipping the way his grandmother did the gesture (we do it palm facing the floor, the metal one is palm facing the face) it's still very popular as a scaramantic gesture against bad luck.
- riffraff 4y agoUpwards and palm facing outwards was also common as an insult, but "cornuto" has become obsolete as am offense. We don't even say it to football referees anymore!
- peoplefromibiza 4y agoyep. OP asked "Are all or most of these still in use today?" and I haven't heard "cornuto" in a long time. It's been largely replaced (IMO) by the internationally acclaimed middle finger gesture.
