Indicates luck, an independent variable of merit

Variable independent of merit, intention, predisposition, ‘a Neapolitan sciorta indicates luck.

A Spanish proverb says: “Give your son lots and throw him into the sea.” After you give him the mysterious dowry, he will get by on any occasion, better than any other cover.


Raffaele Viviani, a popular poet, wrote cases of persecuted by adverse conditions: “Sciorta, schi ‘, Caccia’ nu poco ‘a capa”, fate, put your head out, facing a little. And immediately after: “When you spit ‘nface”, the time to spit in your face.

My grandmother excluded the sense of bad luck from the word. ‘A sciorta for her was always good. The contrary evidence had the sentence: “Nun tene sciorta”, it is unfortunate.

It is not in the shape of a wheel, of roulette, it does not spin, it instead has the aim of a sharpshooter. Those who are drawn from it do not know where the blow came from. Its search engine is the case.

More than in the drawing of the lottery, ‘a sciorta assists in danger, when with a flickering snatcher he grabs by the hair and rescues.

By unfortunate coincidence, sciorta in Neapolitan is also diarrhea, urgent intestinal liberation. On this second choice you have to sit on the sidelines and meditate.
