خلفية ثقافية
Italians take great pride in 'il nuovo' when it comes to design and fashion. Owning something 'tutto nuovo' from a famous brand is a significant social marker. In some parts of Italy, there is an old tradition of throwing old things out the window on New Year's Eve to make room for 'il nuovo'. The 'targa' (license plate) of a car tells you how new it is. Italians often comment on a 'targa nuova' as a sign of a 'macchina tutta nuova'. The first day of school ('il primo giorno di scuola') is a major event where children often wear 'tutto nuovo'—from the smock (grembiule) to the backpack.
