Italian term or phrase: vuoti e pieni
La storia deve essere letta attraverso i suoi “vuoti” oltre che attraverso i suoi “pieni”. (semi-quote from Virginia Woolf's Diaries.
The terms refer to the fact that many figures or events are missing in traditional historiography (namely women in this case), and therefore history should be read considering what is "in" and what is left out of it.

Thanks a lot!

Explanation:
Cause I am part of an Italian association where I learn Italian, improve it with a native. And since the sentence "vuoti e pieni" is not an expression, for sure its meaning is literal. So, vuoti means empty and pieni means full spaces. There are other options.
