En: The paths wound through an intricate mosaic of spring leaves, and a light murmur of wind made the flowers dance.

It: Tra le piante, piccoli aviari custodivano uccellini variopinti, il cui cinguettio si mescolava con il fruscio delle foglie.

It: "Mamma mia!"
En: "Mamma mia!"

It: esclamò Giorgio, guardando disperato la scena.
En: exclaimed Giorgio, looking desperately at the scene.

It: I fiori volavano in ogni direzione, e le piume leggere degli uccelli si posavano qua e là, come nevicate primaverili.
En: Flowers flew in every direction, and the light feathers of the birds settled here and there, like spring snowfalls.

It: "Adesso che fai?"
En: "What are you going to do now?"
