Malocchio or evil eye exists in many cultures--therefore is very present within the Italian culture. It is caused when someone is envious or jealous of you or what you have and or do; and causes you to be sick in some way for example like getting a headache.... Anyways, it is "cured" by a person usually and elderly italian woman down the street that only wears black, by pouring water into a shallow dish and dropping oil in the water while whispering a prayer about some sort of magical snake--I'm not quite sure, but I think there is a snake involved--If the oil breaks up into tiny droplets then the evil eye or malocchio is lifted and you are cured...
