The linguistic and cultural analysis and linguistic images motivating the meaning of these units are given. The article reveals the idea that the phraseological units we are considering reflect a unique way of imaginative thinking, culture and psychology of the people. To express the same concept, these languages resort to different images. However, in Italian and Russian there is a group of literal or very similar phraseological equivalents in semantics.
