People in Italy Call Each Other and Hang Up Before The Other Person Answers
In Italy, this strange habit is called “squillo.” It’s not a missed call. It’s intentional. In other countries, people call and hang up when they want the other person to save their number, but in Italy, that’s not the case. If an Italian person calls you and then hangs up immediately, they want to remind you why they called. For example, if you are planning to meet up with someone but you will be late, you typically call the person and hang up to let them know you didn’t forget about the meeting and are on your way.
