I live in Bologna, Emilia Romagna, Italy. I graduated from the University of Bologna with a degree in Modern Foreign Languages (final grade = 110/110 cum laude). My previous experience is as a freelance journalist and translator. I have been a contributor to Italian magazines specialized in literature, social science and african culture.
Although I consider myself to be a generalist (i.e. able to handle a wide variety of texts using the required terminology and register), my personal interest also enables me to handle even the most complex documents with ease, and my flair for language gives me the edge when it comes to those texts where style is of paramount importance (i.e. advertising and marketing material, web sites, literary works, etc.).
You can contact me via e-mail ([email protected]). Just send me a project description via e-mail (please make sure that you attach the file to be translated/edited and/or the total wordcount of your project).

Mother tongue: Italian

I offer translation services in the following language pairs:
ENGLISH > ITALIAN
