Italian Community of Controlled Affirmations

Translated by Linsey Anne Daman


ROME, Itlay July 30, 2009 – According to the Italian Community of Controlled Affirmations (CICAP - the Italian Abbreviation) when one looks at the world with rose colored glasses they will attract positive energy to them. However if one’s attitude is negative then they will soon fall victim to bad luck and might even think that they are jinxed with daily happenings.



On this belief, the CICAP claims that Italy is one of the most superstitious countries in the entire world. For example, Italians are scared to death of walking under a ladder, breaking a mirror and of course seeing a black cat cross their path.


The CICAP is trying to prove a certain theory that would prove that Friday the 17th is just as unlucky as Friday the 13th. They are working with several Bible verses and some anagrams to solve this mystery behind the 17th. However they claim that the 13th is quite an unlucky day due to The Last Supper before Judas betrayed Jesus there were 13 at the table.


They have found reasoning for why salt is thrown over one’s shoulder when spilt - it dates back to when the Romans was conquering other cities they dumped salt all throughout the city to stop the growth of any plants or life at all.


The main objective of the CICAP is to explain the mystery behind superstitions and prove them with demonstrations.
