Usage Note

Stage is a French-origin loanword fully adopted in Italian to mean a work placement or internship, especially for students. It is invariable: lo stage, gli stage (plural unchanged). The Italian-purist equivalent is tirocinio, but stage dominates in everyday speech and job advertisements. Fare uno stage means 'to do an internship'.
