RAI Corporation Internship Program

Where am I? It‘seems like I’m still in Italy; probably just because I spend all my days in the office speaking Italian. But when I go to the roof everything change. I can barely believe to what I see. I’m in New York actually, the city of my dreams, and the Empire is just shining with his wonderful lights in front of me. It’s been a month, maybe more, and the only thing that I can say about that is AMAZING! I’m working alongside the journalist that usually admire from my house, watching Tv news, and it’s really interesting to discover all the little things that happens in the backstage.

And now let’s start speaking about the other interns.... I really hate them. They are such boring people…

Don’t worry my dear friends, I’m just kidding…I’m just working too much (arriving at 10.30 am every morning is really tiring) and I’m freaking out! I really love you and there is no better group that I could imagine to spend three months with in this amazing city.

I really can’ stop singing the famous Alicia Keys song Empire state of Mind....

“Newww Yooorrrkkkk, concret jungle where dreams are made of

There's nothin' you can't do

out of Neww Yooorrrrkkk

These streets will make you feel brand new

Big lights will inspire you

Let's hear it for New York, New York,

Neeeew Yooorrrkkkk”

Ok...I have to be honest. I sang it once when I was in a karaoke place with all my colleagues.

I’m really out of tunes and everybody was making fun of me, but in the end, who cares?

I’m living one of the best experiences in my life and that’s a good reason to tolerate something like that....
