Usually, in Italy, people greet each other with a handshake. Relatives, friends and close acquaintances kiss each other on each cheek. The more common way of greeting others is to say: [ciao] [ci vediamo] [arrivederci] [tante belle cose]. To end an encounter, you usually say: [grazie, ma ho premura] [sarà per un'altra volta]. Or, when you are really in a hurry, you can say: [scusate ma adesso devo proprio andare].
