Ciao is an informal Italian greeting or salutation meaning hello or goodbye. Etymologically, it traces its roots to a Venetian phrase, sciao vostro, which was also a salutation. Today it is used beyond Italy in far-reaching countries throughout South America and the Middle East. It has come to be synonymous with the zest for life and warm personality characteristic of Italians.
