Greetings

In Avigliana, it's customary to greet people with a warm 'Buongiorno' (Good morning) or 'Buonasera' (Good evening). A handshake is a common form of greeting, and it's polite to maintain eye contact.

Dining Etiquette

When dining in a local restaurant, it’s respectful to wait for the host to start the meal before you begin eating. It’s also appreciated to keep your hands on the table (but not your elbows) and to say 'Buon appetito' before starting your meal.

Dress Code

Italians tend to dress elegantly, especially in social settings. When visiting churches or cultural sites, it's important to dress modestly; for women, this means wearing clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.
