Cultural Note

Italian relationship science ('psicologia delle relazioni') increasingly recognises the importance of 'micro-grazie' (micro-thanks) — small, daily expressions of gratitude for the ordinary acts of love. The Italian term 'piccole cose d'amore' (small acts of love) captures the idea that relationships are maintained through daily attention, not grand gestures alone.
