Umbra Student Experiences Italian Workplace

All-year student, Paul Schiller, has the exciting opportunity to work for the city of Perugia as part of his honor’s course, Perugia Practicum. Schiller is helping with translations for the city’s newspaper and website, tackling translations of such words as aggiudicataria (highest bidder), cianografia (blueprint), and fascicolato (bound). After his first hectic day at the office, Schiller commented that after “two and a half hours and four espressos, I had the pleasure of seeing what it’s like to work in the Italian office.”
