Italian Proverb Socks
Main Tag:
Description: In standard Italian, the classic Italian Proverb. Nobody will tell you "Wash your face so you will be more beautiful/handsome than me." Heard from Italian grandparents and parents for generations. Meaning, you take care of you, nobody else will or put you ahead of them. If your grandparents were from Napoli or Sicily it would have sounded slightly different - Nisciuno te dice: lavate 'a faccia ca pare cchiù bbello 'e me or similar.
