Modi di dire romaneschi

How many typically Roman expressions, coming from the past, do we still use today? How many times have we happened to read the writing TAJA, CH'È ROSSO! on the counter of a watermelon seller (in Roman dialect "cocomeraro"). without giving it too much weight? For those who are not Roman, it means that "the watermelon" is red, therefore ripe, and that it is time to cut it and be able to enjoy it. This is one of the countless "idioms" collected in this volume which pleasantly characterize the speech of the Romans and above all outline their ironic, caustic, indolent, at times resigned, often even vulgar nature. But this is the real Rome! IN ADDITION TO A SELECTION OF NUMEROUS ROMAN SAYINGS, THE BOOK ALSO CONTAINS THEIR ITALIAN VERSION AND THE EXPLANATION OF THEIR ACTUAL MEANING, WHICH DOES NOT ALWAYS COINCIDE WITH THEIR IMMEDIATE MEANING. AN IDEAL BOOK FOR EVERYONE, FOR THOSE WHO STAY AT HOME OR STAY UNDER THE UMBRELLA, WHO WITH ITS SPONTANEOUS WITNESS ALSO MANAGES TO MAKE SMILES. THESE TIMES IT'S NOT A LITTLE... NOTE TO NON-ROMANS The subtitle of the book “PE' NUN MORISSE DE PIZZICHI” means “TO NOT BE DEADLY BORED”.
