Scaffolding

 

The translation into Italian is "impalcatura".

The dictionary says:

 

  • A temporary platform, either supported from below or suspended from above, on which workers sit or stand when performing tasks at heights above the ground.
  • A raised wooden framework or platform.
  • A system of scaffolds.
  • Entity
  • Object; physical object
  • Artifact
  • Instrumentality; instrumentation
  • Scaffolding, staging.

My hypothesis are:

 

The text might talk about a particular structure.

Scaffolding could be a physical thing.

It could not be an object. For example it isn't a physical thing, but something that you build in your life.

 

Digging

 

The translation into Italian is "scavare".

The dictionary says:

 

 

  • Excavation, digging, dig
  • The act of digging
  • Act; human action; human activity
  • Creating by removal

My hypotesis are:

The text might talk about a human action.

I think it could remind something that the writer wants to say.

The text might talk about some memories or rimembrances.

 

Se questo è un uomo

 

It refers to a man.

I think this man is in a difficult situation.

The novel might be about some man's problems.

A terrible situation.

While I was reading this title I couldn't imagine something particular because the sentence isn't finished.
