History of La Smorfia
Although La Smorfia is used throughout Italy, the origin of the word can be traced back to ancient Greece and is heavily linked to the god of dreams, Morpheus. The system suggests that every word, event, person or object that appears in a dream can be transformed into one or more numbers, with a range of themes providing a code that can be translated into numbers depending on the context.
It has also been linked to the Bible, particularly by followers of the Kabbalah subset of Judaism. Many followers believe that the imagery from the Old Testament, as well as the language used, can be decoded.
In the past, the meaning of each number was transferred verbally from one generation to another, before later being noted down in the form of illustrations. In Italy, the system is most associated with Naples, and La Smorfia Neapolitan being the most widely used book of dreams amongst Italian Lotto players. It is now a nationwide tradition.
