How it works
This is a compound locative adverbial phrase constructed with the intensifying adverb 'proprio' (just, exactly, right), the proximal locative adverb 'qui' (here), and the spatial adverb 'davanti' (in front). It can stand alone to indicate location or be expanded with the preposition 'a' to govern an indirect object (e.g., 'davanti a...').
