| | Clarification request(s) and responseGrey Drane: 10:05am Dec 17, 2007: Again, context is pretty much always useful. I agree that "fleeting moment" will likely be your best bet, but without any context at all, it's pretty hard to say for sure.

Attimo refers to the moment rather than a glimpse. There may have been a fleeting glimpse of someone or something, and that is also a common expression, but that precise meaning is not being conveyed here. |
