| avere la testa fra le nuvole | to have one's head in the clouds | |
| commercio fra est e ovest | east-west trade | |
| fra cinque minuti | in five minutes | |
| fra i due litiganti il terzo gode | When two people are fighting, a third person benefits | |
| fra le nuvole | among the clouds | |
| mettere i bastoni fra le ruote | to throw a wrench in the works |
