Venetian by adoption, I've been living in the Province of Treviso with my family for several years now. I earned an Italian graduate degree in Translation in 1989 from the Scuola Superiore per Interpreti e Traduttori [Advanced Institute for Interpreters and Translators] of Trieste. My working languages are French, English and German, which I translate into Italian, my mother tongue, the mastery of which I consider to be a fundamental requirement to perform any translation work and for communication in general.

After spending a few years working c/o private companies and businesses as an executive assistant and liaison interpreter, I've worked full-time as a professional freelance translator, and occasionally as a liaison interpreter for French since 1998.

I've always enjoyed working as a translator, which I consider as a profession having strong cultural relevance, being that it allows mediation, the building of bridges between different societies and cultures, and the discovery of new worlds and aspects. I treat every text, every project, even the most technical and outright monotonous one, as a precious raw material to be molded and refined through a series of steps, that range from the first draft to the revision with corrections, completing my work with the final editing and proofreading. To perform my work I also use CAT (Computer Aided Translation) tools such as Déjà Vu and Trados; thank's to their continuous checking functions, they guarantee terminological uniformity and syntactic consistency even for large projects. Needless to say, the human factor is and will always be a key factor to the ultimate success of a high quality translation, though of course acknowledging the great support information technologies offer on several levels.

I am firmly convinced that translation is an indispensable calling card for each customer, a rather valuable first impression, whether for a book, a product, a presentation, a contract, or anything else; for this reason it is essential to find and place your trust in the right partner! In addition to linguistic and translation skills, reliability, care, promptness, and the ability to solve problems are indispensable requirements for a translator. I personally regard them as an acquired wealth that continues to enrich over time thanks to the incessantly stimulating experience provided by the variety of customers, and the texts covered.
