Octopus: I would raise it to a heraldic figure alongside lions and eagles. Its eight sucker tentacles best represent grasping strength. In Naples, the cooking water of the octopus was sold at the kiosk or street vendor. According to the belief it improved intelligence.
‘O purpo se coce int’ soy water: it is not necessary to add water to its cooking. The expression also refers to a matter that proceeds by itself, without intervening. My grandmother used it for advice in love affairs.
A large octopus escaped from the Aquarium and crossed via Caracciolo to reach the sea, better than an escape from Alcatraz. Despite its ability, the octopus is easily caught with the buatta method, an empty jar in which it willingly hides. Then just get in from behind and plug it inside with your hand.
My father, a poor fisherman, once managed to catch one with that method. Proud and bold, he arrived on the beach to show it to my mother, who had inaugurated a pink bathing suit. About her Taking her hand away, her octopus released her inkjet at her. Knowing her, he fled without even begging for an apology. The octopus took advantage of the marital crisis to get back into the water.
