Guess the Italian or Neapolitan Proverb – Episode 1

April 19, 2026 By Larry Aiello

In this video, it is a Zoom session with my Italian meetup group in Tampa Bay, where we try to guess Italian or Neapolitan proverbs or sayings.

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

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

Get ready! Here are the vibrant proverbs we’re enthusiastically trying to guess in the video.

Listing of Italian or Neapolitan Proverbs

Italian / Mangi questa minestra o salti dalla finestra
Italian / Danari fanno danari
Naples / Uocchie ca nun vede, core ca nun chiagne
Naples / ‘O vin’ è vin’ quann’ sta ind’a’ vott’
Italian / Uno sciocco e il suo denaro son presto separati
Naples / Chi vo’ male a chist’ ammore prima soffre e doppe more

There will be future videos related to this Zoom session on YouTube.

Here is the link to the ” Guess the Italian or Neapolitan proverb” playlist on my channel.
