Best Answer

While not Italian in origin, many Italians believe in il malocchio (often pronounced "maloik.") Part superstition, part tradition, it is the belief in the evil eye, placed on someone when someone else is jealous or envious of the other's good luck. The malocchio then manifests itself in some sort of misfortune onto the cursed person, usually some physical ailment.

How should you play the sharp on the violin?

I myself am a violinist. So, to do sharps you would have to bring your finger closer to you when playing the note.

You would be accomplishing the task of playing a sharp.
