Re: Italy: Don't scratch your crotch!
Italians also believe that stepping on a shit brings good luck.
I don't know but it looks to me as if it is bad luck to step on one, for a start.
Over here, it was said that touching the hunch of a hunchback brings good luck too. It must be very annoying for hunchbacks.
