Riassunto (Italiano)

An analysis and a comparison of colour idioms, metaphors, metonymies and non-literal expressions in English and Italian, which aims to answer the following questions: how many similarities and differences are present in the expressions with colours in English and Italian? Why these differences are present? Are colour idioms motivated by cultural or physiological factors? How many figurative meanings a certain colour term can express, which ones, and why these figurative meanings are expressed by that particular colour?
