뜻
Ending a fight or argument.
문화적 배경
Children use the 'mignolino' (pinky finger) to seal a peace agreement. They lock pinkies and shake them while saying 'Pace, pace, mille pace'. In Italy, long-term family feuds are seen as very sad. 'Fare la pace' is often facilitated by a third party, like a grandmother or a common friend, over a meal. The 'segno della pace' (sign of peace) is a part of the Catholic Mass where people shake hands with those around them. This has influenced the social importance of the phrase. On Italian social media, the dove emoji 🕊️ or the handshake 🤝 is frequently used alongside the text 'Facciamo pace?' to signal the end of an online argument.
Use 'Pace fatta!'
If you want to sound like a native, use 'Pace fatta!' as a standalone exclamation to end a tense moment. It's very satisfying to say.
Don't forget 'con'
Always remember the preposition 'con'. Saying 'faccio pace Maria' is a common mistake; it must be 'faccio pace CON Maria'.

The Pinky Swear
If you're joking with an Italian friend, try the pinky lock gesture when saying 'Facciamo pace?'. It will definitely get a smile.
