Quoted from Hougie:Nope, it goes to RJD
Or, more accurately, Ronnie's grandmother. She used to walk down the streets and when she saw people who she thought were evil, she would flash them the sign. That's where Ronnie got it from.
Genes hand sign is a little different .. thumb is out as per some of the other posts. This is because he used to have his "wings" clipped around his fingers. On his early costumes, if he put his thumbs in, likely his wings would have fallen off.

Quoted from pinballcorpse:My grandmother from Sicily is over 100 and calls the horns made with the 2 fingers the " maloik" or evil eye. Probably akin the what Ronnie James Dio's grandmother was talking about.
Yeah, RJDs mother was Sicilian. Exactly the same thing.
What does she say about the death metal you're into?
