Hi there!

While reading your post and I must confess that I don´t have any knowledge in Italian dialects... except my Latin studies I would say that sentence has another meaning in my opinion...

I just remembered a saying in my native language which can be translated as "It's better to change from donkey to horse than from horse into donkey". By reading your translation in English and French I would say that "white" means intelligence and "black" means lack of intelligence.

I might be wrong, but it is only the way I would interpret that sentence.

Regards,

sflor
