«It takes more than having two hands to be a good pianist. It takes more than knowing two languages to be a good translator and interpreter.» Prof. François Grosjean.

WHO AM I?

I’m an Italian native freelance translator with 15 years of experience collaborating with translation agencies, companies and individuals worldwide. 

I offer a wide range of custom-made linguistic services from English and Spanish only to my native language (Italian) to ensure the high quality of my works.

The passion for foreign languages and for different cultures has characterised all my life since my adolescence and it has grown and strengthens over the years influencing the choice of my entire education: a specialized high school and a more specific translation/interpreting university. See below.

During high school and university years, foreign languages studies have been combined with many journeys abroad which allowed me to know deeply the cultures of the visited places. Particularly important is the internship that I did in Madrid in 2011 (Erasmus Placement). Such experience gave me the opportunity to live for some months in contact with Spanish culture by working in a language school / translation agency, where I could put into practice and improve the knowledge acquired during my training at university through administration, front office, translations and project management tasks.

However, my excellent academic background and the strong passion for my work have led me to start working as a freelance translator already in 2008, after getting my bachelor.

My long standing experience allows me to offer accurate and high standard professional services and to guarantee punctuality and maximum attention to the client’s needs.
