RAI Corporation Internship Program

Arriving in NYC, the first thing that surprised me, was the wide choice of possibility that the city offers. I live in Rome, but there I never saw so many different events in only one city!

Here, the mixture of cultures brought in the city so many different traditions, like the annual lunar New Year Dragon Parade. Many cultures so far between them can live together.

I’m captivated from the the architecture of the city too. In some places of the downtown area, like Greenwich Village, it’s like being in some neighborhood of London. The variety is impressive.

You can visit many museums around the city, listen to different type of music in the clubs, have a little cruise around Manhattan, try different sorts of new food. But, more than all this, the peculiarity of New York is that in every moment of the day and of the night, you can always find something opened that can be interesting. You really have the feeling that the city never sleeps!

You can feel the freedom in the liberty of expression by looking at the people walking on the street. If you go, for example, in Central Park, like I do many times, living so close this beautiful Park, you can meet every kind of people: besides americans and tourists, you can meet also jewish, arabian, south americans, chinese and, always, so many italians too.

This city is opened to new things and you can assist every day at the development of the fashion, the creation of original ideas. During the Easter`s Parade I saw the apex of the most original liberty of expressions in the people that were wearing strange hats made by themselves, in a nice game of colors!

Here we have the opportunity to join the important experience of work at the Rai Corporation to the strong experience of life, because it’s very hard to be impassive in front of a city full of so many attractions.
