Have you just come across “Non ci piove“, one of the most common Italian idioms?
It is a very nice expression and I reckon you heard it at least once!
The literal meaning of this idiom is “it doesn’t rain on it“, which is as to say “no doubts about it“: so we can use this expression when we are extremely confident about what we are saying and we have no doubts about that.
Also, it can be a way to cut short a conversation when we don’t think it is useful to take it further: our conclusion is the only one that makes sense!
