Chi tene u pane, nne tene diente;chi tiene i diente, nne tene pane
Who has bread has no teeth; who has teeth has no bread.
Pane, cepolle e core cuntente
Bread, onion and a happy heart.

“seeing a single sack hanging from a branch, out side of a small village…given an offer of one mouthful, a bit of stracchino and of good wine: he took the stracchino.”
