Cultural Tip
In Italian business culture it’s common to double‑check appointments, especially if there have been recent changes. When speaking with a senior colleague or a client, you may want to use the formal “Lei” form: “La riunione è ancora per oggi, signora Rossi?”. Also, Italians appreciate a brief “Grazie” after the confirmation.
