English term or phrase: to be able to relate to a story
In a market research questionnaire, a list of statements about a particular TV commercial contains the following sentence:

"I can relate to the stories shown in this commercial"

...which presumably means that the story (or stories) in the commercial are relevant to the interviewee, that the stories have a connection to his or her own life.

Any idea of how to put this in Italian?

Many thanks,
Endre
