Significado
A friendly greeting addressed to a group of people.
Contexto cultural
Greeting people when entering a shop (negozio) is mandatory. Saying 'Buongiorno a tutti' to the staff and customers is a sign of good education (buona educazione). In Italian offices, it's common to walk around and say 'Buongiorno' to different clusters of people. 'Buongiorno a tutti' is used for the whole room. In the South, greetings can be more expansive. You might hear 'Buongiorno a tutti quanti' more frequently, emphasizing the warmth of the greeting. On WhatsApp, 'Buongiorno a tutti' is often the first message in a group chat, sometimes accompanied by a 'buongiornissimo' meme (though this is often mocked by younger generations).
The 1 PM Rule
Switch to 'Buonasera' after 1 PM to sound like a local, even if it's still very bright outside.
Eye Contact
Always try to make eye contact with at least one or two people in the group when saying this.
