Posso includere questa esperienza nel mio curriculum?

Can I include this experience in my CV?

Pronunciation

'Curriculum' is Latin; in Italian it is often shortened to 'CV': see-voo. Full form: kur-RI-ku-lum.

When to use it

Ask this near the end of your internship. In principle the answer is always yes, but asking shows courtesy and gives the company an opportunity to specify how they prefer to be named.

What it means

Always ask before listing any company on your CV — even if the internship was positive. Companies sometimes request specific wording or prefer not to be named due to confidentiality. Asking is simply professional etiquette.

Cultural Note

The Italian curriculum vitae follows the European Europass format in academic and public sector contexts, but private sector Italian CVs are often 1-2 pages, photo-included (still common), and list internships as genuine work experience. A well-described internship on an Italian CV carries real weight.
