I've checked in my dictionaries, but no... no such thing. There are modern imports from italian, of course, but nothing you'd consider as native. Talking about eyes... we have a say that maybe is a survival of the Wotan cycle brought in our lands by the German tribes (Goths, Longobards, Alemans). To say that something is expensive we say a costa n'euj dla testa (it costs you an eye of your head).

I can't find a reason for us to specify that it's an "eye of the head", unless ancient piedmontese also had eyes in their feet, of course :) "Odin sacrificed his eye (which eye he sacrificed is unclear) at Mímir's spring in order to gain the Wisdom of Ages" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin). I have no evidence that this expression comes from the cult of Wodan brought in by the Germans, but it does sound as a possible explanation.
