Calling tips

Italy observes Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer. Ghana uses GMT year-round, so the time difference shifts by one hour depending on the season.
Schedule business calls during Italian morning or early afternoon for best availability.
Italians typically take a long lunch break between 1–3 PM; expect slower responses during this period.
Friday afternoons are often slower in Italian offices as many people wrap up early for the weekend.
Mobile networks in Italy may have different availability patterns than landlines during peak hours.

Business etiquette

Address people formally (Signor/Signora) unless invited to use first names.
Italians appreciate clear, direct communication; be concise and to the point.
Confirm meeting times and agendas in writing after calling to avoid misunderstandings.
Avoid calling on public holidays or during August, when many Italians take vacation.
A brief greeting in Italian (e.g., 'Buongiorno') can set a positive tone at the start of a call.
