Supplemento Dizionario

“In Supplemento Dizionari, the author examines the many ways of expressing oneself without resorting to words, using not only the hands but also facial expressions and whole-body gestures. [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”. That’s why we decided to gather as many of them as possible in one book, without taking into account obscene and vulgar gestures, so that the documentation is as accurate as possible. It is an ideal complement to the Italian dictionary for foreign visitors.”
