If by "strange" you mean "novel", I agree; but the capacity to produce novel utterances is an attribute of every natural language. One can swell the sentence with "strawberry colored" or "the color of strawberries" without adding to the meaning; while "strawberry" alone shares the elegant economy of "orange," "peach," "rose," "fuchsia," "amber," and "emerald." The Italian seems a little strange to me--not in its structure, but in the color attributed to the purse. If the English surprises a little, should it not?
