“In Supplemento Dizionario the author examines the many ways of expressing oneself without resorting to words, using not only the hands but also facial expressions and gestures of the whole body. […] Over time, many of these Neapolitan expressions have spread to the rest of Italy and even to the rest of the world. Some expressions have become part of our everyday language, such as the American “OK”. This is why we have decided to collect as many of them as possible in a single book, excluding obscene and vulgar gestures, so that the documentation is as accurate as possible. It is an ideal complement to the Italian dictionary for the use of foreign visitors.”
