How we count appearances
Each expression counts once per piece of content, even when repeated. Recognised republications count only once. Equal counts share a rank and are ordered by Italian name. The ranking updates as new evidence is added.
Open an entry to see its content and sources. An appearance in a title does not establish how often the expression is spoken in the audio.
