I am sending a farewell email to the whole team.
'Addio' = ad-DYO. Two syllables; stress the second. 'Email' is used as in English.
Use this to announce that you are sending a collective farewell. The farewell email ('email di addio') is now an Italian workplace tradition — it allows for a gracious, written, collective goodbye.
'Email di addio' is the standard Italian name for a farewell email. 'Tutto il team' (the whole team) signals inclusiveness. Announcing that you are sending one also gives people the chance to look for it.
Scrivo due righe di saluto a tutti.
I am writing a few lines of greeting to everyone.
'Due righe' (two lines) minimises the effort while signalling the action — very Italian
Lascio i miei contatti nell'email di addio.
I am leaving my contact details in the farewell email.
Practical addition; ensures colleagues can keep in touch
L'email di saluto va al team interno o anche ai clienti?
Does the farewell email go to the internal team or also to clients?
Clarifies the scope; important to agree with management on external communications
The most memorable Italian farewell emails combine gratitude, warmth, humour and a touch of nostalgia. They are often forwarded, saved and sometimes read years later at company anniversary events. The 'email di addio' has evolved from a formality into a genuine Italian professional art form — concise but heartfelt.
