Cultural Tip
In many Italian contexts, respect is shown through small but meaningful gestures: a firm yet friendly handshake, using ‘Lei’ for formal address, arriving a few minutes early to appointments, and observing local customs such as removing shoes in some homes or covering shoulders in churches. Paying attention to these details signals genuine cultural respect.
