Bedeutung
Valuing an experience highly.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Italy, the 'anziani' (elderly) are seen as living libraries. Using 'fare tesoro' when they speak is a sign of 'buona educazione' (good upbringing). The concept of 'fare tesoro' is linked to the 'apprendistato' (apprenticeship) culture where secrets of the trade were passed down orally. Italian schools emphasize 'memoria' and 'riflessione'. Students are encouraged to 'fare tesoro' of classic literature to build their own moral compass. In the modern Italian workplace, 'fare tesoro' is a key phrase in 'soft skills' training, emphasizing adaptability and learning agility.
