I don't remember us using, or hearing, it in Italy a few years ago.
Guess it was too normal to notice.

What I vividly remember is many much longer ago, in South America, I
seemed to be the only one who said "Adios" as everyone else, without
regard to age or status, said "Ciao". That was true in Brazil as well
as the Hispanic countries.
