Guess the Italian or Neapolitan Proverb – Episode 2

May 2, 2026 By Larry Aiello

In this video, it is the second Zoom session with my Italian meetup group in the Tampa area, where we try to guess Italian or Neapolitan saying or proverb.

At first, we pronounce the proverb, and then we try to take a guess at what it may mean in English.

Many Italian and Neapolitan proverbs have the same meaning in English, and many of them you need to interpret based on the context of the wording.

Molti proverbi italiani e napoletani hanno un significato equivalente in inglese, mentre per molti altri è necessario ricorrere all’interpretazione, basandosi sul contesto della frase.

This is a fun and informative Zoom call where we all learn some Italian by the use of proverbs that have been around for centuries!

Italian Proverbs in this Video

The proverbs in this video are all Italian:

Morto un papa, se ne fa un altro
La mamma dei cretini è sempre incinta
Chi non risica non rosica
Quando finisce la partita il re ed il pedone finiscono nella stessa scatola
