Also means
to turn inside out
Usage Note
Rivoltare has two quite different meanings depending on context: it can mean 'to disgust or revolt' (mi rivolta = 'it revolts me') or literally 'to turn something over or inside out' (rivoltare un guanto = 'to turn a glove inside out'). The reflexive rivoltarsi means 'to rebel or revolt' (il popolo si rivoltò). Do not confuse with rivoltella (revolver), which is etymologically related but unrelated in modern usage.
