It: "Compriamo un oggetto funzionale e uno decorativo ciascuno."
En: "We buy one functional item and one decorative item each."

It: Bianca annuì, contenta della soluzione.
En: Bianca nodded, happy with the solution.

It: "Ma devono portare calore e fascino alla nostra casa," aggiunse con un sorriso radioso.
