2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing but still has some good, February 28, 2002

By	deborah meiswinkel (san francisco, california, USA) - See all my reviews

i was disappointed to read the english translation of a number of these proverbs. with the amount of italian i know, i felt that some of the phrases didn't capture what was meant nor was a true translation. I felt that they could have at least related some of them to english equivalent proverbs. i have had friends that are fluent in the language and who have lived in italy to read thru the book and they laughed at some of them and told me what the translation is--which in some cases very different from what was printed. overall, i appreciate the effort. it was more important for me to at least have a set of "proverbs" to read in italian. i will make the translation of them on my own. unfortunately, i cannot recommend this book.
