The formal form of «Ciao, di dove sei?» is «Buon giorno, di dov’è (Lei)?»
The formal form for "you" is "Lei" (with a capital L), while "tu" is informal.
The formal forms in Italian use the 3rd person singular forms of the verbs (informal forms use the 2nd person singular forms). That is, the verb used for formal you is the same form used for he and she.
For example:
–Informal: Come ti chiami? (What’s your name?)
–Formal: Come si chiama? (What is your name?)

Ben N has given you another way to say "Where are you from" in Italian:
–Informal: Da dove vieni?
–Formal: [Lei] da dove viene? or Da dove viene [Lei]?
Including the "Lei" is usually optional; you can tell it’s formal from the verb ending, so adding the Lei is redundant, though not uncommon.
I want to know too.
hello where six
u can go on bing translator or translator.com
I would say its ‘Ciao. Lei da dovè viene?’ Which directly translates as ‘Hello. Where is one from?’ It’s a much more formal way of putting it, for example when asking a stranger, or person of authority.
"salve, da dove viene?"
