意味
To motivate or inspire.
文化的背景
In Italian sports journalism, especially regarding 'Calcio' (football), players who are in top form are often described as having wings. It reflects the national love for 'fantasisti'—creative players who elevate the game. The Red Bull slogan 'Red Bull ti mette le ali' is so ubiquitous in Italy that it is often used ironically or as a joke when someone is drinking coffee or an energy drink. The early 20th-century Italian art movement, Futurism, obsessed over speed, flight, and machines. This cultural heritage makes metaphors involving 'wings' and 'flight' feel very natural to Italians. Italy's Catholic heritage is full of winged angels. While the idiom is secular, the visual of 'wings' as a source of divine or supernatural help is deeply embedded in the collective subconscious.
Use with 'A'
Always remember the preposition 'a' when saying who gets the wings: 'Mettere le ali A Maria'.
Avoid 'Mettuto'
Even advanced learners sometimes forget that 'mettere' has an irregular past participle: 'messo'.
