The word "Ciao" is Italian for "hi" or "bye." It has crossed over into a slang word into English among certain groups of people, and when used most people get the idea of the basic meaning, even if they don't speak Italian.

"Hello, (I'm doing) well" is an English equivalent of "Ciao, bene."

Specifically, the greeting "Ciao" means "Hello, Goodbye" depending upon the context and situation. The adverb "bene" means "fine, good, well." The pronunciation is "tchow* BEH-neh."

*The sound "ow" is similar to that in the English exclamation of pain "ow."
