In English, when having a conversation with someone about another person, if the person you’re speaking about suddenly appears, you might say, “Speaking of the Devil.”

For such a scenario while speaking Spanish, when the person spoken of appears, it’s common to say, “Hablando de Roma…” (“Speaking of Rome…”) This expression makes reference to the proverb of the week.
