Art/Literary - Journalism / article about Berlusconi and Putin
English term or phrase: personal chemistry
Sto traducendo questo articolo: http://www.euro2day.gr/ftcom_en/126/articles/312833/ArticleF...

Yet the two have forged an extraordinary friendship ever since they first met in 2001. Both put great store on ***personal chemistry*** in their relationships and both tend to be seen as outsiders, regarded with suspicion by other leaders. So it is scarcely a surprise that Mr Putin made sure he was the first to stop by Mr Berlusconi’s luxury villa in Sardinia on Thursday to congratulate him on his re-election.

Mi viene in mente alchimie personali, ma non sono tanto convinta... consigli?
grazie!

feeling


Explanation:
a me piace molto il termine feeling, che pur essendo anglosassone è entrato nell'uso in italiano proprio per indicare quel certo non so che (non c'era qualcuno che cantava "questione di feeling"?)

sensazione/intesa a pelle


Explanation:
Sono d'accordissimo con l'idea di "feeling", magari nel significato di "chemistry" potrebbe esserci anche quella sensazione di intesa che si sente a pelle.
