Hi!
A French colleague is searching for the meaning and origin of the
phrase 'buona mano' as in 'the guide showed me round but would not
accept a buona mano'. It seems to mean a tip but is it a regional
expression or an archaic one ? It was spotted in a 19th century
French novel. Thanks for any help you can provide.
