Cultural Tip

In Italy, showing genuine interest often involves small, consistent gestures rather than grand declarations. A quick “Ciao, come stai?” after a few days of silence, remembering a favorite coffee shop, or sharing a song you both liked can signal that you’re still engaged. Avoid overly aggressive or overly formal approaches; balance is key.
