Whether it’s about daily habits, manners or human nature in general, Italians have some very classic proverbs that seem to fit any circumstance. Some of them very international, some more local and ‘in dialect’, take a look at the following and judge for yourself how much the Italian ‘nonni’ have in common with your culture!

-Il buongiorno si vede dal mattino

This proverb, quite literal in meaning, says a good day starts in the morning, and it can be interpreted both as short or long term. It is about the importance of a good start, and how that can be foreshadowing for the rest.
