After our piece on the legend of St Peter’s in Rome, we move to Milan.
And whoever invented this weird ritual either had a problem with bulls (or their testicles!) or with the “torinese” – people from Turin.
The tradition goes that placing your right heel on the bull’s balls and then spinning around inside the Turin emblem, brings good luck.

The mosaic of the bull can be found inside the octagon floor pattern of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
