Meaning
A common parting phrase.
Cultural Background
Italians often use multiple farewells in a row, like 'Ciao, a presto, buona giornata!'. In professional settings, it is common to add 'A presto' after a formal 'Arrivederci'. Farewells can be even warmer and longer, often including physical contact like a handshake or kiss. Farewells might be slightly more concise, but 'A presto' remains a staple.
