Specifying a day for meeting.
Contexto cultural
Monday is often associated with 'il rientro' (the return) to work. Saying 'a lunedì' can sometimes be accompanied by a small sigh, acknowledging the end of the weekend. In many Italian offices, Friday afternoon is 'short' (venerdì breve). 'A lunedì' is the verbal signal that the work week is officially over. Lunedì dell'Angelo (Easter Monday) is a major holiday. If you say 'a lunedì' before this day, you are likely talking about a social picnic, not work. In the South, social ties are often tighter. 'A lunedì' might be followed by 'salutami la famiglia' (greet your family for me).
