But did you know that the word actually comes from a phrase that meant "I am your servant"?
And did you know that Italians don't just say hello with words? We also say hello with cheek kisses, handshakes, eye contact, and a whole set of unspoken social rules.
In this episode, we chat about one of the most everyday parts of Italian culture: greetings.
From the history of ciao to the eternal question of when to use buongiorno, buonasera, or salve, Italian sisters Valeria and Benedetta share the little details that many people never notice but that shape daily life in Italy.
We also talk about why Italians kiss on both cheeks, why saying hello in the mountains is almost a rule, and how something as simple as a greeting can reveal so much about a culture.
If you've ever wondered how Italians really greet each other, this episode is for you.
