In the vastness of Italian language, there is a word that not only greets, but also transports us back to the times of the ancient Romans: “Hail”.
This greeting, derived from the Latin verb “salvere”, which means 'to be well', carries with it the Latin roots of modern Italian in an unmistakable way.
The Romans used “Hello” as an affectionate command, wishing health and well-being to his acquaintances.
Over time, this expression evolved to become the greeting Italians use today. More polished than casual “ciao","Hello” is often heard among colleagues, strangers or even close friends, depending on the tone of voice used.

Hello Professor Bianchi, how are you?
One of the notable advantages of “save” is its versatility when used at any time of the day, eliminating any indecision about whether it is appropriate to want "Good morning" (good morning) or “buonasera” (good afternoon/evening).
Whether in stores, restaurants, at the office, when meeting unfamiliar neighbors or even passing by Roman centurions in your imagination, “save” becomes a welcoming and friendly choice.
