Cultural Tip

In Italian, 'stare bene con' is the idiomatic way to express that something matches or looks good with something else. Avoid using 'essere' in this context (e.g., *sono bene con*), which sounds ungrammatical. Also, note that 'oggetti di scena' is a theatrical term that works well in both professional and casual contexts.
