I find there is a lot of rhetoric about recommendations, I have been recommended in all the professional steps I have taken, in the sense that it is not that you wake up one morning and Corriere della Sera hires you by chance. There is always someone, while you are working, in that case I was at Il Messaggero and there were some colleagues who knew me and recommended me, they went to the editor of Corriere della Sera and recommended me as a good one. [...] Then we know that we are in Italy, and there are also other recommendations, but recommendation is one of the main drivers of access to the world of work. In the 1960s and 1970s there were parish priests who recommended a few young men to local entrepreneurs. [...] I have to say thank you to a lot of people, because they recommended me, so they triggered the recommendation and I in turn did the same.
