Cultural Note
Italians take travel wishes seriously — they'll always wish you 'buon viaggio' when you're heading off. The follow-up 'fai buon viaggio' or 'fate buon viaggio' adds personal warmth. Italy's rich tradition of emigration and travel means departure rituals carry emotional significance. You might also hear 'buon rientro' (good return) when someone is heading home.
