The head of Medusa is a very present symbol in Sicilian culture.
Medusa was one of the three Gorgons, monstrous creatures with snakes for hair. Anyone who looked directly into her face turned to stone.
In Sicilian tradition, the head of Medusa is often used as a symbol of protection against evil and negative influences. It is often depicted as a mask with intertwined snakes and is used as a decoration on buildings, doors, gates, and various objects.
It is believed that Medusa's head can ward off evil spirits and protect the home and its inhabitants. In short, Medusa's head in Sicily is a symbol of protection and power, used to ward off evil and protect the home and its inhabitants. According to myth, Medusa, the only mortal among the Gorgons, was killed by Perseus with the help of Athena. It is said that the Greek hero killed Medusa using the shield provided by the goddess as a mirror, managing to decapitate her without meeting her gaze. From Medusa's blood was born Pegasus, a winged horse that the Greeks used in battle along with Medusa's head, which, although dead, continued to petrify with its gaze those who crossed its path.
