The Fine Art of Italian Hand Gestures

Old Neapolitan gestures, from left to right: money, past times, affirmation, stupid, good, wait a moment, to walk backward, to steal, horns, to ask for.


Another illustrated page of the book of Canon Andrea de Jorio. 

Meaning of the gestures: silence, no, beauty, hunger, to mock, weariness, stupid, squint, to deceive, cunning.
