Are there any confidential pieces of information I should not share?
'Riservate' = ri-zer-VA-teh. Four syllables; stress the third.
Ask this at the very start of the internship, ideally in the orientation meeting. It shows professional awareness of confidentiality obligations and prevents accidental disclosure of sensitive information.
'Informazioni riservate' is the Italian for 'confidential information'. This question demonstrates that you understand professional ethics and are proactively seeking to comply with them.
Devo firmare un accordo di riservatezza?
Do I need to sign a confidentiality agreement?
NDA-related; common in tech, legal and financial companies
I dati dei clienti sono confidenziali?
Is client data confidential?
Specific and practical; clearly yes, but asking shows awareness
Posso parlare del mio lavoro qui fuori dall'ufficio?
Can I talk about my work here outside the office?
Social context question; important for interns who are also students discussing work with classmates
Since the introduction of GDPR ('Regolamento Generale sulla Protezione dei Dati') in 2018, Italian companies are legally required to inform all workers — including interns — about data privacy obligations. Signing an NDA ('accordo di riservatezza') is now standard in many sectors.
