Doing something gradually.
문화적 배경
Italians value the 'slow' approach. This phrase is often used to justify taking time for quality. Similar to Spanish and Portuguese cultures, the concept of 'poco a poco' is deeply embedded in the daily rhythm of life. In many Latin American countries, 'poco a poco' is used exactly as in Italy, often with a sense of optimism. In international business contexts, Italian speakers use this to manage expectations about project timelines.
