There’s a popular tradition in the gallery’s center believed to bring good luck. People say that if you place your right heel on the bull mosaic – specifically on the bull’s testicles – and spin around three times, your wish will come true. It’s become a must-do for both locals and visitors hoping for a bit of fortune.

Because so many people touch this part of the mosaic daily, the tiles have gradually worn away. Small dents or holes often appear, so the city regularly repairs the artwork to maintain the tradition.

Videos of the event quickly went viral online, even reaching Attilio Fontana, the President of the Lombardy Region. He shared on social media, “Milan Olympics: anything can happen! George Clooney and his wife, Amal, followed a local tradition by touching the ‘bull’s balls’ sculpture in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele for good luck.” He added that this is a well-known custom among Italians and tourists alike, wishing Clooney good fortune.

In addition to their recent trip to Italy, George and Amal Clooney are having a very successful start to 2026. George is receiving a lot of attention for his work in the Netflix movie Jay Kelly, and he’s already been nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance.

George Clooney’s film Jay Kelly is still popular with viewers on streaming platforms, and he’s also getting ready to return to making heist movies. He recently announced that Warner Bros. has given the green light to Ocean’s 14, with plans to start filming in late 2026. The new movie is expected to bring back the original stars, like Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts, for another exciting and risky adventure.

Amal Clooney has been very active, successfully combining her important human rights work with glamorous public appearances with her husband, George. She recently attended the Golden Globes after a ten-year absence, looking stunning in a 1957 vintage Pierre Balmain dress. Professionally, she’s also launched the Justice Champion Program through her Clooney Foundation for Justice, offering free legal assistance to women and journalists around the world.

Recently, the couple has been frequently visiting Northern Italy, where George is working as a brand ambassador for Omega and attending events related to the 2026 Winter Olympics.
