Italian Literary Translator and Proofreader

I'm a freelance English/French to Italian translator since more than 15 years.

After my linguistic and literary studies, I've started to collaborate as translator and proofreader for different customers. In my experience I've translated webpages, marketing materials, business documents…but none of them gave me the satisfaction that I feel when I translate books!

I'm an avid books reader from my early age and I love to transfer the original meaning of a book into my beautiful italian language, finding the words that suit better and, of course, my translations are 100% human. 

That's why translating is, first of all, a passion for me.

And I also believe that every translator has a great responsibility. It is not just about translating words. He or she must be able to transfer the deep information that they contain. Only in this way the original meaning of an Author will be respected. I always like to say that "Translating is not about words but it’s what these words mean".

Now I am an happy freelance literary translator and I love searching for new Authors to bring in my language.

I'm a very meticulous person. When I translate a book, I pay attention to all details, from the choice of the title to every single comma. 

I'm also a professional proofreader. After translation I check and correct any grammar, spelling, typing or punctuation mistake in order to give you a perfect and accurate italian version.

Besides my translation activity, I'm a passionate of music, b/n photography, walks at sunset…and my indispensable daily espresso!

If you are interested in my translations, feel free to send me a message. Communications with me are very easy, you can contact me 24/7 and I always reply as soon as I can.
