زمینه فرهنگی

The phrase is deeply tied to 'La Bella Figura'. It's often better to hide your problems than to make others uncomfortable with your complaints. In Tuscany, the phrase is sometimes used with a bit of irony or sarcasm, highlighting the absurdity of the 'bad game'. In Italian business, showing emotional control (fare buon viso) is a sign of leadership and reliability. There is a strong tradition of stoicism in the South, where 'buon viso' is seen as a form of 'onore' (honor).
