The famous Capri Bell, or S. Michael's Bell is a lucky charm to give as a gift to special people.
But why does it bring good luck?

Once upon a time, a little shepherd lived in Capri and he was the poorest among the poor children of the place. His only wealth was a small hut, which he shared with his mother, who was a widow, and a lamb which he used to graze on the slopes of Mount Solaro

One evening, as it was getting dark, the child lingered to pick flowers and when he turned round to call the lamb he coud not see it any longer. He felt a pang of pain in his heart. What woud happen now to him and to his mother?

At that moment he thought he heard a distant and feeble ringing of bell and, thinking that it coud be the sound of the bell the lamb wore around its neck, he rushed in that direction.

His tiny bare feet fled careless of the pebbles, of the thistles and of the night which had already fallen...until he got to the edge of a raven. Here a sudden flash of light stopped the poor boy; Saint Michael appeared to him, envelopped in a golden beam of light, splendidon his white borse.''My boy'' said the Saint, detaching a small bell which hung on his breast. ''Take it and always follow its sound; it will keep you from the ranger''

The little shepherd, thrilled with emotion and joy, took the precious gift to his mother and the small bell came out miraculously from his shabby jacket encased in the green frameof a vivid quadruphyllous.

since then his life was filled of joy and happiness and all of his wishes were fullfilled.

On the spot where the apparition took place, a villa was build which was called Saint Michael, and the miraculous little bell, reproduced for you in a tiny amulet will be your talisman of luck and success.
