Genovesi speaks of his experience in Rome when his family was a part of the EHP's homestay program, how that program introduced him to RISD, and how it has changed over the years. Genovesi also recalls different universities in Italy, such as the University for Foreigners, Temple University, and the American Academy in Rome, and how they compare to RISD's program. Along with this, Genovesi discusses how the EHP program could be improved and what makes it unique.
