Cultural Note
A presto is warm and optimistic — it implies you genuinely expect to see the person again soon. Italians have a whole family of 'a + time' farewells: 'a domani' (see you tomorrow), 'a dopo' (see you later), 'a stasera' (see you tonight). Each one conveys Italian social warmth and the expectation of continued connection.
