Italian term or phrase: spingere il più in lá possibile
Contesto (re-opening of the "Paul Is Dead" controversy, Paul McCartney of the Beatles, that is):

La sfida è raccolta da Gabriella Carlesi e Francesco Gavazzeni con divertimento e una punta di sufficienza, perché qui non ci sono cadaveri o fori di proiettile da analizzare. Bisogna piuttosto spingere il più in lá possibile le proprie capacità di raffrontare le immagine per scoprire se due volti appartengono o no alla stessa persona.

Molte Grazie,
