Afterwards, members from the US Embassy Economic division spoke to us about what they do in their consulate, building our network, and what we need to do if we would like to apply for a position/internship. According to their website (which I linked above), the section interacts with the Italian government on bilateral and international economic policy issues; reports on developments in the Italian economy; facilitates U.S. exports to, and investment in, Italy; and provides advocacy on behalf of U.S. business operating in Italy. They were both a pleasure to listen to and talk to, and the visit inspired a desire to connect travel with a future occupation in myself, as well as in many others.
We then visited the Vatican once more, this time touring the museum and St. Peter's Basilica. I was able to capture a forbidden picture of "The Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo at the Sistine Chapel.
