معنی
To be very important to someone.
زمینه فرهنگی
Politicians frequently use 'stare a cuore' to sound empathetic and connected to the 'common people.' It is a staple of political rhetoric to bridge the gap between the elite and the electorate. In regions like Campania or Sicily, the 'cuore' is often invoked in daily speech and music (Canzone Napoletana) to signify a level of sincerity that goes beyond mere words. In Italian business, showing that you 'care' (stare a cuore) about a partnership is often more effective than just showing good numbers. It builds 'fiducia' (trust). The phrase is central to the 'mamma italiana' archetype, expressing a protective and all-encompassing care for the family's well-being.
