“A coat hanger, for example, is known to some Italians as an ometto, to others as a stampella and to yet others as an angioletto. But it can also be a gruccia, attaccapanni, appendiabiti, cruccia, stanfella, crocetta, crociera, appendino or croce”.
This seemingly endless list of words – which are basically synonyms of one another –well epitomizes Italy's complexity.
