Cultural Note
Mi fai impazzire is the quintessential expression of passionate Italian attraction. It can be used seriously in a romantic moment or playfully when someone is being irresistibly annoying. Italian expressiveness means this phrase gets used both for genuine desire and for exasperation — the line between love and madness, as Italians see it, is deliciously thin.
