(Freely) translated it means "what happens twice, happens thrice."

It is a way of saying "if something is not unique and happens twice, then it will happen again with high probability".

Curiously, Finnish has an identical proverb ("ei kahta ilman kolmatta"). I wonder if it comes from some common literary source.

You mean "No hay dos sin tres" (1M google results vs 19K for "No hay segunda sin tercera")

It's almost as if Italian, Spanish and French had something in common! ;)
