About me

I have transformed my passion into my profession.

For all of my life, I have been attracted to the world of translation. My graduation thesis had already been chosen, at the time, in this vein: it was, in fact, about the translation from High Old German, and the metric analysis, of a passage from the Evangelienbuch by Otfried von Weissenburg.

Over the course of time, I sustained and nurtured this passion and, for more than ten years, I have worked as a freelance professional specializing in legal, commercial and marketing texts.

I collaborate with legal and notary firms, I furnish also individual sworn and authenticated translations of official documents to be presented before public authorities, and I am often appointed by the Tribune as a technical consultant to the judge, during the course of proceedings that might require the intervention of a translator.

In 2005, I entere

d the field of publishing, committing myself to researching and promoting authors of the Dominican Republic — and within a short time, two novels, four short stories, an anthology, and two poems were published that had been translated by me.

My native language is Italian, and I work with French, Spanish, German and English.

Information About Me

I am registered in Albo with the Technical Consultants of the Tribune of Lucca and in the Ledger of Examiners and Experts of the Chamber of Commerce, in the following languages:

• German
• French
• Spanish
• English

Notarized Translations are my specialty:

I offer accurate services in both translation and editing, as well as absolutely punctual delivery.

My rates are calculated based on a "cartella" of 1,500 keystrokes, spaces included, and vary depending on the type of text to be translated.

Payment is Net 30 Days from the receipt of invoice, via bank transfer or regular postal mail.

 LITERARY SECTOR

I decided to launch myself into this new field out of my desire to diversify my expertise and, most importantly, to reconnect with my longtime love: Literature.

In 2005, I obtained a Masters Degree in Literary Translation from the University of Siena, in the Hispanic Sector, choosing as my concentration “Dominican Literature.”

A series of fortunate coincidences allowed me to participate in a literary competition in which the works of a number of authors, discovered and translated by me, garnered the First and Second prizes in the Short Story Category and the Third prize with Special Mention in the Poetry Category.

Several of my translations have been published (please see page entitled Published Translations).

And now…I am seeking new editors with whom to collaborate.
