  10.3.5.4 congiuntivo in relative clauses

We have already talked about the relative clauses in chapter eight. If the relative clause describes a desire (I want a car, which runs quickly) the subjunctive is to be used, in other words, the general rule must be applied, which says that the subjunctive is to be used if an event or an action are not real, but only feared, desired, insecure, etc.
