Something that suggests a positive outcome.
خلفية ثقافية
The phrase is a direct linguistic descendant of the Roman 'Augury'. The state would not function without 'auspicia'. In the South, 'scaramanzia' is an art form. While 'buon auspicio' is the formal term, people often perform gestures (like touching iron) to ensure the omen stays good. Journalists use this phrase constantly to describe economic data or diplomatic meetings, giving the news a slightly more 'authoritative' tone. It is almost mandatory to use this phrase in a formal wedding speech to wish the couple well based on some positive detail of the day.

الأسئلة الشائعة
5 أسئلةTechnically yes ('sotto i migliori auspici'), but in the phrase 'essere di buon auspicio', it is almost always singular.
The phrase 'di buon auspicio' is for good things. For bad things, you must change 'buon' to 'cattivo': 'essere di cattivo auspicio'.
No. A 'portafortuna' is an object (like a lucky charm). 'Essere di buon auspicio' is a quality of an event or sign.
It is grammatically correct but less idiomatic than 'è di buon auspicio'. Stick to 'di'.
It's slightly formal, but perfectly fine if you want to sound sincere and articulate.
