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 don't think I would be helpful in this case .
If you check the previous question 'A. Bartolotti ccalvo' , you will find my regular answer.
I'm sure you will confirm...
AllegroTrans Sep 3, 2022:
Emmanuella Instead of regularly "sneaking in" with these isolated webrefs, why don't you post proper suggestions? I am sure they would help.

Actually, it seems to be some kind of MONSTER fish: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1167386297/statue-of-san-giona-...

agree AllegroTrans : Yes, but I don't think your second reference is anything to do with the Asker's text

I realize why you have said that. But I only gave it as an example of how the fish, in general, has been a highly used symbol in artistic expression, of more than one kind.
