Alberobello, Italy: The traditional houses called "Trulli" have another special characteristic - many houses have ancient symbols on their roofs. Some of these symbols are linked to the old religions or beliefs. For example, the symbol on the house on left side in the third image is a "Tree cross", a representation of the three worlds - sky, earth and underworld. These symbols are made to save the house from bad omens or to bring happiness and success.

अल्बेरोबेल्लो, इटलीः यहाँ के पाराम्परिक घर जिन्हें त्रुल्ली कहते हैं, की एक अन्य विशिष्ठता है कि बहुत से घरों पर प्राचीन चिन्ह बने होते हैं. इनमें से कुछ चिन्ह पुराने धर्मों या विश्वासों से जुड़े हैं. जैसे कि तीसरी तस्वीर में बायीं ओर के घर पर "वृक्ष क्रास" बना है जो कि तीनो जगत, आकाश, धरती और पाताल, के मिलन का प्रतीक है. लोग सोचते हैं कि यह प्रतीक को घर में रहने वालो को बुरी नज़र से बचाते हैं या खुशी और सफलता लाते हैं.

Alberobello, Italia: Le case tradizionali che si chiamano "Trulli" hanno un'altra caratteristica - molte case portano antichi simboli sui tetti. Alcuni di questi simboli sono legati alle antiche religioni o credenze. Per esempio, la casa sulla sinistra nella terza foto porta il simbolo della "Croce albero", simbolo dell'incontro tra i tre mondi, cielo, terra e inferi. Si pensa che questi simboli possono proteggere dal malocchio o portare felicità e successo.
