Malocchio Tour: A Morning of Italian Folk Magic in Carlton

Step into the heart of Carlton’s Italian precinct with Rose Inserra, bestselling author of The World of Italian Folk Magic, for a walking tour unlike any other.

This immersive three-hour experience weaves together ancient ritual, folk wisdom, history and charm shopping, bringing to life the traditions of the malocchio (evil eye) and its powerful remedies.

Begin with coffee and dolce at Brunetti, to set the tone for the day, visit Bella Luck Charms to explore protective amulets, and end at Readings Bookstore with Italian cookbooks, culture and treasures.
