We have repeatedly addressed the Italian idioms, explaining the source. Today we will explain the origin of a saying of our dialect closely tied to our history. The term we will examine is 'have' na toa facia from (having a face of food / wood), Italian is "gall."
This expression identifies a person, his face impassive, that does not express emotions.
The origin of this saying goes back to the time an-cies of the Republic of Venice. The legend tells us Venetian that in some 943 pirates, the day of the Purification of Ma-ria, break into the church of San Pietro Castello and dhimmi took up arms to 12 brides. The Doge Candiano III pursued the pirates, defeated them in the waters of Caorle and brought back the women in Venice. was instituted in memory of the Fe-Marie is that over time became a display of elegance, a source of rivalry and confrontation between the factions at the Venetian for the selection of beautiful girls who were to pull out. The situation threatened to escalate, so in 1319 the government decided to replace the girls with a specially constructed wooden figures at the Arsenal: the population that figures nicknamed "Marie de toa." In the tradition of the "Maria de toa" is a skinny woman, thin, neat, flat, or a woman without breasts. The motto was taken from the theatrical jargon when in the performance of the comedy of the Venetian-art addition to the main characters introduced in the ve-nivano stage of the wooden figures representing the extras. Obviously these admissions had an expression im-perturbative and actors who were unable to im-press the public to these images were compared and apostrophes as "faces toa."
