In Milano we say:

"ogni giorno nasce un cucco, beato chi lo cucca"

Maybe somebody with a better knowledge of english than me can translate.

Well, "un cucco" literally means "a cuckoo", but it can also mean a fool or a simpleton. So you'd have to say that it means "there's a sucker born every minute, and happy is the man who suckers him".

Not much sympathy for suckers in Milan, obviously!!
