to be safe

意思

Being out of danger.

🌍

文化背景

Parents in Italy are often perceived as 'apprensivi' (anxious/protective). You will hear 'stare al sicuro' constantly in family settings, especially regarding children's health and safety. With the rise of digital banking in Italy, the phrase is now a staple of 'Poste Italiane' and bank communications to prevent 'phishing'. The 'borghi' (fortified villages) of Italy were designed specifically so the population could 'stare al sicuro' behind walls. This history is baked into the language. During the 2020 lockdowns, the phrase became a national mantra, appearing on balconies and in social media captions across the country.
