Italian term or phrase: a giusto equilibrio d’essere
It's from the poem
Cornucopie di sogni
s'infrangono sul selciato
della Libertà in parallelo
a perle di parole
prive di significato
ma la Carità ha un prezzo
che si chiama Fede
l’uomo riporta alla Ragione
sulla via del Bene
d’appartenenza Comune
a giusto equilibrio d’essere.
Even though all words are clear, I'm not sure what it refers to and what it really means. Thank you!

to Being's true balance
Explanation:
Myriads of dreams
Break on the pavement of
Liberty alongside pearls
Of meaningless words
But Compassion has a price
That is called Faith
Man brings Reason back to the true balance of Being
On the path of Good (ness)
that that is shared by All.

This was fun, but I don't think I'll win a Pulitzer

Just noticed the error in transcribing my suggested answer into the body of the poem, as well as the extrA 'that' in the last line. Pardon me.
