On meeting each other, close friends and family kiss each other on each cheek, generally on the right cheek first. At any sort of a gathering, no matter what is the total number of people present at the gathering, the Italians are generally expected to greet each person present in the room on their arrival in the room and while they leave the room, either shaking hands or kissing them, depending on the sort of relationship that he two people share between themselves. Any sort of a miss on saying hello or good bye ("salutare") is not taken very sportingly by any Italian.
Even a stranger in Italy is given ample space and attention so that he/she remains comfortable in the new place where he has come down to takes a flavor of the place in all its originality. When entering a place which is meant for business purpose, an Italian is always expected to say "Buon Giorno" before 2 pm and "Buona sera" if it is after 2 pm. before they place their order in a shop or entering and on leaving the premises. When Italians get on and off in a crowded elevator, even then they greet strangers as "Buon giorno".
