Italian term or phrase: maglie
Ecco la frase, riferita, come capirete alla descrizione della nebbia sul lago:

"La nebbia avvolge vagamente il cielo e l’acqua nel suo grigiore. A poco a poco si dissolve, ***si alza dalle sue maglie più rade***, si sente filtrare la bella luce e il colore."

La frase ***si alza dalle sue maglie più rade*** non riesco proprio a renderla...chi mi aiuta??

Thanx!!!!!;-D

agree  maryrose: "Veil" is commonly used to describe mist, and I like your translation of the whole phrase

  -> Thanks, maryrose !

agree  Derek Smith: Yes, I agree that "veils" is a common (and topical!) description of mist too. I would expect to see something like "gauzy - thin - faint - sparse" as an adjective

Explanation:
