For those who may be interested: I'm not translating anymore on Babelcube, I've got plenty of other projects ongoing.
After many years in IT multinationals I thought it better for me to go back to my first experience and passion: the written word.
I'm a graduate in Italian Literature, with a study specialization in Social Communication; I've learned English and German both in public school (I've had the luck to ave a very good german mothertongue teacher) and in private schools (Oxford Institute and Goethe Institut) and I've practised these languages through many periods abroad on vacation, on study and for work.
Today I'm sure I have the right experience and knowledge to go back to translation world, where I moved my first steps when I started working and where from time to time until today I had the chance to work.
Translating/proofreading experiences
Distributed Proofreaders: voluntary contribution to Gutenberg Project (project aiming to create a library of electronic versions of printed books) as a proofreader of original language english books.
Edizioni Ambiente: translation (EN>IT) of some chapters of the book State of the World, Worldwatch Institute report: a divulgative text with attention to subjects bound to our planet's future (chemistry, economy, social sciences etc).
Zanfi Editori: I've been an external collaborator for a small publishing house, Casa Editrice Zanfi, for Guide APA (touristic guides similar to Lonely Planet but with a specific attention to history and culture of the different Countries); in strict contact with editor Zurlino I worked as proofreader, text revisor, editing (with XPress), translations (EN>IT and DE>IT) for books' updates.
Studies:
Master training in managing documents: archiving and communication
Degree in a newly added discipline called "comunicazioni sociali" (within the Modern Italian Literature studies curriculum), specializing in how to communicate through learning advertising and media languages
