معنی
Facing a difficult challenge.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is deeply linked to the 'Giro d'Italia'. Commentators use it constantly to describe the 'tappe appenniniche'. Using this phrase in a meeting is a socially acceptable way to complain about workload without sounding lazy. Journalists use 'percorso in salita' to describe any law that the opposition is trying to block. In regions with many hill towns (like Basilicata or Sicily), the literal and figurative meanings blur constantly in daily speech.
Use 'Tutto'
Native speakers almost always say 'è TUTTO in salita' to sound more natural and emphasize the struggle.
Not for Prices
Don't use it for rising prices or temperatures. Use 'in aumento' or 'sta salendo' instead.
