Talk:di vecchio stampo

 * Yes, at the minimum. Maybe deletion is the better path (di + vecchio stampo). Further, this locution is not special in any way ("di stampo sociale," "di antico stampo," "di stesso stampo," "di stampo ottocentesco," "di stampo sanitario," and a million other examples).

 * Comment: It is special in the sense that it is much more common. Is it possible that the figurative sense of as the die from which something is minted originated from this specific idiom and then was generalized? Analogous expressions in French and Dutch are du vieux moule and van de oude stempel. I am not sure of the French ( is not a die with which to mint but a mould for casting), but the Dutch one is definitely idiomatic; you cannot just substitute other adjectives.   --Lambiam 13:06, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
