Moving faster or working more intensely.
Contexto cultural
In Italy, 'aumentare il ritmo' is often associated with the 'sprint finale'—the last-minute burst of energy to finish a task perfectly, reflecting a culture that values both style and results. In Ticino, this phrase might be used more strictly in professional contexts, reflecting a cultural emphasis on punctuality and systematic efficiency. Italian-Americans might use 'pick up the pace' in English, but when speaking Italian, they often retain 'aumentare il ritmo' as a way to express the 'hustle' culture of American cities. While Italians use 'ritmo' (rhythm), Japanese culture often uses 'speed' or 'efficiency' terms. Using 'ritmo' in an Italian context sounds more organic and less like a cold command.
