Greetings

It is common to greet people with a friendly 'buongiorno' (good morning) or 'buonasera' (good evening) when entering shops or when meeting someone. A handshake is a common form of greeting in more formal settings, while close friends may exchange kisses on both cheeks.

Dining Etiquette

When dining, it is polite to wait for the host to begin the meal or to say 'buon appetito' before starting. Keep your hands on the table but avoid putting your elbows on it. It is also customary to finish all the food on your plate, as leaving food can be seen as wasteful.

Dress Code

It is important to dress well, especially when attending social events or dining out. Casual but neat attire is acceptable during the day, but more formal clothing is preferred in the evenings. Avoid overly casual clothing such as beachwear in urban settings.
