My surname is hardly known in my country, and in primary school a teacher told me it was pronounced Aroki and was of Italian origin (it actually is not), but I told my family and (though we all call ourselves Arochi) the nickname Aroki stuck with me, later I discovered this symbol of Italian culture which I have actually worn for several years; it is a horn used in ancient times upon the doors of houses and as the years passed, Italy embraced it as a symbol of luck.
