She says that her work in the Italian Parliament has confirmedher interest in international work.“I most enjoy the fact that I’m working in a field that is important, even essential…andworking internationally, I make phone calls all over the world, not just inRome,” she said.Professor Kathleen Fitzsimmons, head of the AUR Internship program, helpedAlexandra find this great opportunity.Published at Age 20AUR Communication Major Alessandra Potenza,aged 20, has just had her first book publishedin Italy.“Dal Punto di vista di Giulia” (“From Giulia’sPoint of View”) is a diary novel Alessandra drafted atthe age of 12, when she moved with her parents fromthe city of Trieste to a small village in the Friuli region.There she had to start her new life from scratch.“It is an adolescent story about growth, friendshipand discovery, written at a time of deep changein my life,” Alessandra says.Alessandra presented her book at the Libreria PortoAntico Libri in Genoa on November 3 and will soon present her novel in Rome onJanuary 29.

I have already visited Shanghai with theprogram and we will be going to Beijing in two weeks. I love the Chinese culture andthe people, I would feel really at home here if it wasn’t for the food. I cannot deny thatI crave pasta every day and I look forward to having a meal cooked by my nonna.”14
