Wedding Favours and Pitagora..

This article deals with the superstition. In the past superstitions were very popular, but now they are dissapearing. I'll write one of this,. In my country, in Italy, there are a lot of superstitions, one of this is joined to wedding favours. This custom goes back to the origins of Pitagora, he associated even numbers to women's world, and odd number to men's world. The sum of the first female number, two, and the first male number, three, is five, that symbolizes marriage between a man and woman. So in wedding favours there are five sugared almonds, that we call " confetti ". In fact you can find only five sugared almond, if you found more than five, it would be unluckly for the couple.
