Cultural Note

Remote work ('lavoro da remoto' or 'smart working') was accelerated dramatically in Italy by the COVID-19 pandemic. Italy passed the 'Smart Working' legislation in 2017, well before the pandemic, making it one of Europe's more progressive countries on remote work law. Microsoft Teams and Zoom are now standard in Italian corporate life, with 'la riunione su Teams' (the Teams meeting) a daily reality.
