Just a word of warning about the sign for "Cornuto" - be careful if/how you ever decide to use it! It's considered a great insult in places like Naples. Although it may be taken as a joke between friends to place your hand behind someones head and make this sign - I certainly would not consider using it and especially when having an argument/disagreement with anyone. It's vulgar and tempers will flare.
