QUANNA CHIOVE A SANTE MARCHE DI LI FLACCIENE ZI NI FA NU MACCIUACCHE.
(WHEN IT RAINS THE DAY OF ST. MARK, THE FIGS BECOME A MUSH)
THE EXCESSIVE RAIN IN THE LAST DAYS OF APRIL (ST. MARK THE EVANGELIST IS CELEBRATED THE 25TH) RUINS THE CULTIVATIONS OF THE FIGS.
"LI FLACCIENE " ARE A QUALITY OF FIGS TYPICAL OF THE ABRUZZO.
MEGLIE 'MMIDIE CHI PIETÀ.
(IT IS BETTER THE ENVY THAN THE PITY)
IT IS BETTER ENVIED THAN PITIES.
