Femminielli or femmenielli (singular femminiello, also spelled as femmeniello) are a population of people who embody a third gender role in traditional Neapolitan culture.[4][5] This term is culturally distinct from trans woman, and has its own cultural significance and practices, often including prostitution.[5] This term is not derogatory; instead femminielli are traditionally believed to bring good luck.[4][5]
