Interesting, Pro! It does not surprise me that many expressions in Slovene might come from Italian. The Italian influence is still strong in the southwestern and extreme western parts of the country, which were for centuries ruled by Venice. A part of Friuli, where there is still a Slovene-speaking minority, is still called the "Slavic Veneto" (Slavia Veneta) or in Slovene, Beneška Slovenija (Venetian Slovenia).
