Italian term or phrase: sfuggire
"a quel vecchio non sfugge nulla"

("sfuggire" NON è riferito a parole! Il vecchio si trova in una caverna e si accorge di una fessura che non lo convince...si ferma e scava trovando così un passaggio)

Per indicare dunque una persona che si accorge di tutto, che è molto attenta anche ai piccoli dettagli.
