Today I am working from home.
'Lavoro' = la-VO-ro. Three syllables; stress the second. 'Casa' = CA-sa.
Use this simple statement to inform colleagues, update your calendar status or respond to someone asking where you are. It is the most fundamental remote work phrase.
Present tense 'lavoro' is used for today's schedule — Italian uses present for near-future habitual actions. 'Da casa' (from home) is the standard phrase. 'In smart working' is also frequently used.
Sono in smart working oggi.
I am working remotely today.
'Smart working' is the popular Italian term used in corporate environments
Sono remoto tutta la settimana.
I am remote all week.
Less idiomatic; 'in smart working' is more natural for the whole week
Lavoro da casa fino a giovedì.
I am working from home until Thursday.
Specifies the duration; useful for setting expectations with colleagues
Since 2020, 'lavoro da casa' and 'smart working' have become standard Italian workplace vocabulary. In pre-pandemic Italy, working from home was rare outside tech companies. Now it is normalised across sectors, though the return to office ('rientro in sede') is actively encouraged by many Italian companies.
