disagree  Daniela Zambrini: sorry rfmoon, I'm usually against posting a disagree if I have offered another answer, however the translation of "gretta" (only as adjective in Italian) cannot be "door" (noun).// :-) I meant gruetta is a noun=crane, gretta is an adjective so not a door

agree  Alfredo Tutino: Most probably right. (BTW, hanno liberalizzato l'uso del fucile a pallettoni contro le moto d'acqua, che tu sappia?)
