We have gathered some new - yet old - proverbs to live by because we know you love them! Please keep in mind that the very loose English translations are included, but do not sound as culturally rich as the ones originally written in Italian. We welcome your versions of translations but more importantly want to hear more of your own Italian proverbs, quotes, and sayings! Feel free to share them on our
Facebook group page dedicated to proverbs, tweet them to
@modernitalian or email them at modernitalian@modernitalian.org so we can share them with the community!
