Italian superstition says that if an owl ends up in your house, someone in your family will die. One myth is that bad luck comes to those who hear an owl hoot three times. Owls have also long been characterized as harbingers of bad luck and even death. However, in the Middle Ages, this positive image was replaced with a sinister reputation – because it is active at night and almost blind by day, the owl became associated with stupidity and shady activities.

The superstitions and symbols linked to owls date back to ancient Greece and have changed from positive to negative over the centuries.
