When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I like this "refreshed and brought back to life"...but quite tautological too

Lara, Glad to have helped.
For me, every time there's a new interpretation it is a RE-interpretation of the previous ones.
So, I really believe a "new re-interpretation" would be overkill and tautological in English (and probably in Italian too but I'll leave the natives to argue the point:-))

Tom in London
: the text specifically talks about a new REinterpretation, not a new interpretation. And "grande" does not mean grand". A "new REinterpretation" is not the same thing as a "new interpretation". Obviously.

well Tom a reinterpretaion IS going to be a new one. As for "grand" I already said I didn't intend to write that! Do you disagree with "new rendering" as well?

| agree |
James (Jim) Davis
: Disagree with Tom. Italian often naturally doubles up on repeats and also on negatives where it is unusual, unacceptable and sometimes wrong in English as it is with a double negative.

OK so a play is the same as a replay, a visit is the same as a revisit, and so on. I cannot accept the idea that the translator knows best. I don't do that in my work but what you do in yours is up to you.

As for "rendering" - that is miles away from "reinterpretatation".
